Needed: Winter Farm Sitter
Farm: Foxglove Farm
Location: Salt Spring Island, BC
Type: farm sitter / exchange for accom. / unpaid
Looking for a winter retreat on a spectacular drop-dead beautiful 120-acre farm on Salt Spring Island in British Columbia?
Were seeking a strong, friendly, animal-loving person who can look after our dogs, cats, chickens, and handle some simple farm chores from mid October until the end of April.
In exchange for 20 hours per week (based on your schedule — animal care the exception), we provide a beautiful private furnished cabin, hydro, wifi, laundry, and water. You will need to handle your own recycling and garbage.
Chores may include (but are not limited to): daily animal care, snow removal (very occasional), stocking firewood, deer fence repair, seedling care, basic maintenance and farm projects, and weekly comunications with farm owners when they are away.
Ideal person is physically fit, a good communicator, and comfortable working outside.
No smoking, drugs, or other pets please.
