Descrição
NEW UPDATE: Happy New Year! We are tucked in with a blanket of snow and planning for next year's adventures!
Live on a small farm in rural British Columbia. We have sheep, cows, horses, dogs and a cat, and the farm is still growing. We are 30 minutes from the closest centre with services, boutique shopping and a regional airport.
Having a drivers license is a must to allow you the freedom to explore the Cariboo Chilcotin. The area offers an abundance of outdoor activities from hiking and photography, to driving tours and camping.
If you are a highly social person who loves the city and night life this is not the place for you; but if you are looking to learn about Canadian culture and enjoy the serenity of nature we look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You will benefit from this exchange by learning Canadian small farm customs. I welcome the opportunity for visitors to practice their English, learn how to grow and preserve food, learn about foods in our culture for treats or healing and learn livestock husbandry. This exchange offers a rural farm experience. I would love to learn new languages, new skills, cultural cooking and about your life.

Acomodação
You will have your own room and a shared bathroom with shared living space and kitchen in our home. As part of the cultural exchange you will be treated as family.
Algo mais...
Life is very independent and centres around the farm and rural outdoor life - you must enjoy quiet outdoors.
All of our meat and some of our produce is harvested naturally. In the fall we are butchering lambs, hunting and processing meat, making sausage, drying herbs & berries, etc to put away food for the year. In the spring, the sheep are lambing and cows calving so I am usually very close to home to watch over the new babies.
We enjoy meeting people who are comfortable working independently or as a team, who are interested in different cultures/languages, are good with hunting and natural food harvesting and enjoy pets and livestock.
