La experiencia

We are a small community of six people living in Rawdon, Quebec. We make a living by producing fruit and nut trees (nursery), specializing in fruit trees adapted for northern climates. Along with this, we have many projects on our lands (and are constantly starting more!) - fruit orchards, keeping chickens, bees, growing our own vegetables, herbs, grains and mushrooms.

Programa detallado

Learning here is through doing; and the more you show interest, are energetic in your work and ask questions, the more you will learn. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained in many areas (orchards, fruit trees, soil management, organic farming, as well as other general self-sufficiency skills). If you happen to have any special interests or knowledge, we will also be interested in learning from you.

We are looking for people who are interested in some of what we do - whether organic agriculture, fruit trees, self-sufficiency, or community lifestyle.

You will be most welcome if you have at least some of the following characteristics:
-like to work hard and push yourself a bit
-are kind and considerate towards others
-are eager to learn,
-respect and see some value in our way of living,
-are flexible and reasonably adaptable

Actividades & Turnos

While there is a ton of work outside to do, we also need workawayers to take part in cooking. We are currently searching for a workawayer who would enjoy cooking 1 meal a day for the group.

Apart from that, here is an overview of the different tasks there is to do:

In spring and early summer, we have several different projects to do at once: grafting, planting trees, preparing a garden, starting to weed, planting orchards on our new land.

Later in summer there will be more weeding, harvesting and food preservation, along with our family orchard care and maintenance, caring for hens, some construction projects, and more.

In fall the help involves mainly: collecting fruit and nuts, processing seeds, planting and mulching trees, canning fruit and vegetables, sometimes some weeding, construction projects.
