Hampton Farms

Nova Scotia is one of Canada's prettiest provinces, and is known as Canada's Ocean Playground. My farm is near lots of great hiking opportunities and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Joggins Fossil Cliffs.
My farm is very peaceful, the animals are very sweet, and I'm told that I'm an interesting host.

Namaste! Thank you for stopping by. :-) I hope you will join me on my journey for a month, 2 months, or long-term. It's just me here. :-) I'm a bit eccentric, but I hope that you'll find me to be a very caring person. So, if you're a little offbeat, that's not a problem for me. I am supposedly an excellent cook, and I make sure my volunteers eat well. One of my quirks that I should mention, though, is that I cannot abide any amount of food being wasted. I have a pair of picturesque, riverfront hobby farms, each with a large 4-bedroom house. I am transitioning the farms to more of a communal space. There are three acres of wild blueberries that I am currently converingt to organic production, six acres of pasture, and about eight acres of woods that provide more than enough firewood to heat both homes without having to clear-cut any areas. I have a small herd of alpacas and an even smaller flock of chickens, whom I allow to free range. We harvest a small portion of our food from the property, and my vision is to increase that slowly and steadily every year. For a long-term (and possibly lifetime) stay, I would particularly interested in these 3 individuals: 1. Someone to manage the livestock, including monthly shots for the alpacas 2. Someone to process and market the alpaca fibre 3. Someone to manage the little antique shop Once the right long-term partners/cohabitants are found, I'm open to expanding our activities to include: -bee-keeping (which will also help pollinate the blueberry field) -developing blueberry condiments and other blueberry products -permaculture -large vegetable and herb gardens -art studio, as there are a lot of tourists here in the summer ...and it is always nice to have some company, instead of just me and my sweet cats roaming around this enormous house. Were you to stay long-term, I would give you a share of the farm profits, but it's a small farm and you'd never make your living from that. If/when the two homes ever become full, I plan to start building tiny homes on the property. I am amenable to stays as short as a month. Longer term stays would depend on our shared chemistry. I would love to live happily ever after with about 5 or 6 kindred spirits. I am LGBT-friendly and open-minded about various lifestyles. (I am personally pan and polyamorous.) That said, this is a very culturally conservative area; so, guys .... please don't arrive in a pink sweatsuit, and guys and girls .... go easy on the personal pronouns. I keep to myself a lot, unless we are really clicking amazingly. Over the years, from various volunteering sites, I have hosted over 100 volunteers. Many of them have become long-term friends and, in rare cases, we have developed an even closer connection. I have been vegetarian in the past and try my best to cater to dietary restrictions. If your diet is too complicated, I'll get you to do most of your own cooking. Both houses are strictly non-smoking. I'm always in need of a helper here at the beginning of June for the annual shearing of the alpacas. It's a strenuous day that needs an extra pair of hands.
