  Description

  Hello!
  We’re Joelle and Jordan, a musical duo from Newfoundland & Labrador performing as Ever Sweet. As musicians, storytellers, and adventurers, we share the rich culture and music of Newfoundland through song. Joelle is also a fibre artist, creating one-of-a-kind pieces using textiles and natural materials inspired by the rugged beauty and traditions of this place we call home.
  
  What’s involved?
  
  - A peaceful farm stay in a quiet Newfoundland outport
  - Helping care for our friendly hens, garden, and two cuddly cats
  - Enjoying the slower pace of rural life in a cozy home setting
  - Surrounded by stunning coastal views, nature, and inspiration
  
  
  If you love animals, the outdoors, and simple, meaningful living, we’d love to hear from you!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Travellers will have the unique opportunity to experience life in a rural fishing village on the Northeast Coast of Newfoundland, where tradition and nature go hand in hand. You’ll gain insight into the heritage, culture, and way of life in a small coastal community, surrounded by stunning landscapes.
  
  Located near hiking trails, beaches, and the ocean, this area is perfect for exploring Newfoundland’s wild coastline, spotting whales and seabirds, and foraging for berries in season.
  
  As artists and musicians, Joelle and Jordan love sharing their knowledge of Newfoundland folk music, weaving, and fibre arts. Whether you’re interested in learning traditional songs, trying your hand at weaving, or exploring creative projects, we’d be happy to share our skills and stories with you.

  Aide

  We’re looking for kind, reliable, animal-loving travellers who enjoy the slower pace of rural life.
  
  Your main tasks may include:
  
  Caring for our pets – feeding and spending time with our cats and hens
  Gardening – watering and tending to the garden, especially in spring and summer
  General upkeep – helping keep the house tidy and welcoming
  DIY projects – we’re converting a shed into a cozy cabin and would love help from anyone with carpentry or building experience (this project is ongoing and help is welcome year-round)
  
  
  This is a peaceful, creative space with lots of room for nature walks, music, and quiet time. If you're someone who enjoys animals, gardening, and meaningful hands-on work, we’d love to hear from you!

  Hébergement

  We currently offer one private room inside our home, with access to two shared washrooms. There’s also a backyard campervan available for those who prefer a more private or outdoor stay.
  
  Workawayers will have full access to the kitchen, living room, backyard, and shed. While we’re away, you’ll be responsible for your own meals, but you’re welcome to enjoy fresh eggs from our backyard hens. When we’re home, we love cooking and sharing family meals together.
  
  Our home is conveniently located next to a grocery store, and there’s a laundry machine onsite for your use.
