Description
Our farm is a gorgeous community farm property on Salt Spring Island, 18 acres with various families and residents.
Your main host is Freyja the owner, Joy the garden manager, and various other community members.
This hobby farm has extensive apple orchards and we are working on establishing a permaculture food forest system here by planting a wide variety of fruit and nut trees, bushes, shrubs and berries with herbs and vegetable gardens interspersed. We now have an abundance of berries, and some of the first trees we planted are coming to fruition, yet it is a life long project!Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre

in October, we need help especially with apple juice pressing and preserving!
Still a few weeks of work to do.
There is still a lot of winterizing to do in the gardens as well and finishing the harvest.
We can also use help with some building projects if anyone has skills or wants to learn.
Trade is 25 hours/week which includes food staples and farm crops.
Most of the tasks are quite physical, so please be prepared to use your muscles!
No dogs please.Langues parlées

It is very interesting how they have organized each place for a purpose. it's a peace of heaven on the earth!
When we arrived it was after Freya and David's wedding, so we didn't get to meet them, maybe someday in the future!
Even so, we loved meeting other residents and other helpers.
