La experiencia

Our tiny community setting is focusse on maintaining a 2 acre property and vegetable & flower gardens (soil amendments, planting, harvesting, mowing etc) A love of outdoors and strong muscles, building experience, power-tool proficiency, and a keen willingness to help despite the variable weather conditions are desirable traits for our needs. We eat healthy, and aim for sustainability & non-consumerism by finding creative reuse for materials.

Programa detallado

Various accommodation (RV, cabin or Hippie SchoolBus & 3 full healthy meals a day=5 hrs help daily/5 days-week-or equal (select snacks are provided--it is NOT an open kitchen)

Breakfast is usually self-serve from a selection of items; Lunch & Dinner will mostly be prepared-- (I will accommodate food preferences, note: we eat alot of vegetables)

DAYS OFF: breakfast is provided & leave the kitchen completely clean;
Please bring your own food for your days off; or go offsite for meals. DO NOT expect access to food & snacks on these days. NOTE: If you wish to stay on site on off days: lunch and dinner can be provided with only 2 hours work exchange, if its convenient for us.

Keeping the bathroom & kitchen clean and dishes done, is YOUR responsibility--ALL the time--this is self-maintenance, and does not count as part of your work-exchange...also I will LOVE YOU FOR IT!!

Main tasks are usually garden related (watering, weeding, planting & harvesting), but occasionally housework, building and repairing

Actividades & Turnos

Generally, Monday thru Friday , we expect to be up and eating by 9am, working by 10 am for 2-3 hours before lunch, and then another 2-3 hours sometime after the lunch break. We usually eat dinner about 7pm. In the break, we may head out to the beautiful Cowichan river for swimming or tubing, to Fuller Lake for a swim, or simple relax & chill-out in our abundant and beautiful flower garden, with its own small pond, swing and bathtub.

Saturdays are always off, but as Worldpackers come and go on various days, we have to be flexible for the other day off. Sometimes we are not home to supervise, in that case, we appreciate you being conscientious about doing your exchange work while we are gone (and we will make pre-arrangements for your meals).
