Forest homestead on Lasqueti Island, Canada

Detalhes

• 

  Descrição

  Hello and welcome! ようこそ！Lasqueti Island (also known as ‘Xweh et tay’ - yew tree) is part of the traditional territory of several Coast Salish First Nations. We are committed to living respectfully and creatively within this ecosystem. Carson, Adrian, and Kaia are in their 30s and working on a fairly new (<6 years) homestead in a maple grove. Our general goal is to create a whimsical habitat and thriving farmyard of food production, community and art. At this point we grow food on a subsistence basis but would eventually like to have a market garden.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We live in the forest on an off-grid island so we can offer a full-on forest homestead experience with all its quirks. There are often community events (music, potlucks, work-parties, dance-parties, ultimate-frisbee, sauna) that you are welcome to participate in. Forest hikes and ocean swimming is accessible. We can probably lend you a bike, and hitchhiking around the island is quite easy.

  Ajuda

  We have have a diverse range of homestead tasks that we'd love help with. Roughly 5 hours a day would be appreciated. Examples include: building, gardening, milling wood, firewood, beach combing for logs, butchering sheep, etc. We'd love for you to be an independent helper. And we will make sure you don't get stuck on a monotonous task for hours at a time.

  Acomodação

  Accommodations are rustic but scenic. We have a little guest hut with no water or electricity, or an outdoor bug-tent (with a comfy mattress). Outhouse and solar shower. Electricity is somewhat limited throughout the homestead. We will cook a big tasty lunch and dinner and will provide breakfast fixings. There is no grocery store on the island so please let us know about dietary restrictions well ahead of time. We eat well here - lots from the garden and largely vegetarian though sometimes we hunt and eat local meat.
