Détails du programme

We offer the unique experience of sharing our knowledge of building a successful Ranch from the ground up. We have experience of direct marketing, advertising, promoting our services, and are continually learning ourselves how to thrive in the ever changing Ranch Business and are more than happy to share this knowledge with others who are passionate. We can offer food (we will purchase together and have meals both together and separately) and accommodations (in the summer would look like a 5th wheel holiday trailer close to the house with power, bathroom amenities are inside the house and laundry for your use), winter is your own room within the house. We welcome couples and have a beautiful Queen size bed in the room.
In the winter: can host one guest or one couple
In the summer we can host up to 4 guests/couples.
In trade for some hard but very rewarding and very enjoyable work around the farm. KD Ranch is a Ranch has been built from the ground up by a young passionate family, and we are constantly growing so there's so much to experience here!
Our kids help along side us, so enjoying the little joys of having kids around is a must. Our kids are 2 and 6 so enjoying the busting life they bring is important for our guest to know that we are an active busy household.

We are becoming more and more involved in taking in opportunities to showcase our horses and cattle and this is something you could also be a part of as well. We have local rodeos and events you could also attend. And sometimes in the winter we make a trip to the local indoor riding arena to ride and work with young horses.
Our little area has much to see and experience with a welcoming small town feel.
We are 25 min. to the nearest town, 15 to the nearest hamlet so you must enjoy being out in nature.

Règles

- We expect that helpers will commit to a minimum 2 weeks stay, but ideally a month or more, unless something really isn’t working. As we will put a lot of time into your training and we have your kids that don’t want to constantly see people come and go.
- We have kids so they are our number one and you must be okay with and love kids and be respectful. Kids are bubbly and happy humans and know that it will be a busy household so you must enjoy the busting life they bring.
- You must be respectful of us and other farm guests as well as all the animals
- You must be an animal lover.
- You must be open to learning and willing to help, and help in the weather conditions.
- You just come in with a go getter attitude.
- We require you to help clean up after you basic messes and we require you to help with the dishes and basic clean up outside of your hours as everyone eats so everyone cleans up. (If you’re helping cook for everyone that’s absolutely part of your hours).
- We expect you to use water wisely as we don’t have a well we haul all our water for the house.
- If we are busy you will be expected sometimes to heat up your own food, generally there’s leftovers and there’s always something in the house to eat.
- No smoking in the house or vehicles. No drugs or parties. We are a safe family home.
- We require you to communicate any concerns or what’s working or not and what your expectations are with us, as we don’t know if we don’t know.
