FARM JOB: Langley, BC – Sage and Solace Farm, Agritourism Assistant

Posted by JoHana Harcourt on April 30, 2024

Sage and Solace Farm in Langley, British Columbia is seeking an Agritourism Assistant!

ABOUT Sage and Solace Farm

Sage and Solace Farm is a family-run, sustainable flower farm and venue! Set in the heart of the Fraser Valley, on acres of open land, we use regenerative and sustainable practices throughout our work.

Our specialty is flowers, as well as small-batch produce grown for our family. Our space is more than a private farm, we are a venue for weddings, workshops, farm stays and community events!

Lots of the work done here is the maintenance of the farm, and preparation for events. Planting, weeding, harvesting, clipping back and always, weeding.

in 2018 we decided to leave our lives in Vancouver in pursuit of better physical and mental health. What began as a love for a simpler time has grown into a haven for inspired living that marries style, sustainability, and soul.

We purchased land to prioritize regenerative farming, support pollinators, grow heritage flower varieties, and create homes for birds and wildlife displaced by development.

By healing the land we have created a little piece of paradise and a magical space that offers solace to all who visit.

We are proud to be Nature Stewards, as recognized by the Fraser Valley Conservancy.
