  Description

  Eli, Katie and our 2 daughters Nova (8) and Jade (5). Our family farm is fairly isolated on 160 acres above beautiful Deadman Valley in the dry region of s.w. BC. We always have gardening and building projects on the go. We raise organic vegetables, herbs, and bedding plants for our own use and that go to market in town. You would be expected to help with some gardening/greenhouse activities.
  
  If your interested in organic farming this is a great place to come and learn.
  
  We eat mainly organic and a large portion of our food is provided from our own garden and we often eat meals together. We are always willing to accommodate individual tastes and dietary restrictions. We enjoy playing music, life and yoga.
  
  We have yurt where you would be staying in your own cozy space. We have 2 friendly dogs and many cats, all of which live outside.
  
  We`d love for you to stop by and lend a hand [June - October].
