Description
5 acre collective homestead on Saltspring Island. We are one year into this project. Most of our work is permaculture based. So far we have been planting a fruit tree orchard, tending gardens, and working on land and building projects. I am 31 years old and live here, along with several other folks in different homes on the land.
The property has both south and north facing slopes with short nature trails on the land. We are a 3 min bike ride to beautiful St. Mary's lake swimming access. We have large pond I like to cold dip in all year around. We enjoy caring for the land and planting for the future!
We are a 10 min drive to town, and a 30 min bike ride to town. Bikes provided.
Rides offered when we go to town or head somewhere on island.
We love music and have occasional potlucks as a collective.
We do a weekly soul song circle at 7:30pm every Wednesday evening :)
Accommodation is in our sauna during the warm season, and a camper in the winter. Room for 1 or 2 people!
There is also a larger loft available at times!
Opportunities to help with myself and others at times and learn about regenerative gardening and permaculture skills, land tending knowledge, local edible plants, composting wisdom, building skills (some with repurposed materials), Cobb oven building, and more! We love building soil, and we responsibly practice composting our chicken manure, food scraps, and humanure.
I eat mostly organic, home made, delicious and nutritious meals that include meats like chicken, bison, and elk.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We can share in music jams, fire circles (so long as there aren't fire bans), perhaps offer a ride to town or somewhere you need, or to events on Saltspring like dance temple, the Saturday Market, beaches, hikes, etc. We can lend bikes as well. I hope to learn about what your quest in life is, and maybe I can help along the way and both learn something from each other!

Working together to plant fruit and nut tree guilds with edible and medicinal companion plants. Building an outdoor kitchen with a Cobb oven, Stacking firewood, pulling out invasive plant species, picking up garbage on the land, making burn piles with blackberries and watching them disappear, maintaining walking trails in the woods, building a sacred fire circle roundhouse, gardening, spreading compost on beds, weeding, possible cooking meals for a few of us to eat. There are lots of possibilities for helping. I am happy to cater to what your interests are, also considering what the priorities are :)

Todo helped remind me of what I enjoy about permaculture and Lydia bought the cozy vibes to my little living space. I enjoyed talking, playing music and eating nutritional delicious food with them both. Also a shout out to Savannah, so much… read more
