Currently seeking wwoofers for Spring and Fall 2026 - preparing and tending gardens, planting trees, production of our natural body care products, and animal chores.
Six one-month placements available per year - April 1-30, May 1-31, June 1-30, Sept 1-30, Oct 1-31, Nov 1-30
If you love animals, gardens, and sustainable living, we're the farm for you! We love our horses, dairy goats, alpacas, chickens, a donkey, cats and dogs. We specialize in goat-milk soap and natural care products. Help with the gardens and summertime weekly produce orders including edible flowers and specialty herbs. Our primary field crop is hay on our 160 acres so if you come in July-September you might get to stack haybales - our favourite workout. May is goat-kidding season and the busiest and most exciting time. Alpaca shearing happens also in May but they usually have their cria (babies) later in the summer. We can host two wwoofers at a time and can host couples or friend groups. We require stays of one month (takes a while to learn the ropes and we really like to get to know our wwoofers!)
We are about 4 miles to our town, St. Norbert, in the south end of Winnipeg. There you can also catch a city bus to go downtown to many attractions. We enjoy a variety of other activities ourselves, especially music. We have had an amazing 20 years in the wwoofing program and have made some special friendships. Special thanks to our wwoofers so far who have shared the load and brought their magic to our farm! Thank-you all so much for helping us through our growing pains and for teaching us how to be better hosts.
We have a completely separate living space where wwoofers will stay at this time. It has a king sized bed, room for an additional cot, a woodstove, kitchenette, TV with a few channels and a DVD player. There is a bathroom, shower, and laundry facilities accessible in our nearby store. There are books, games, and puzzles for rainy days as well.
