Welcome to AgriConnect

The Home of Farmsitters

& Farm Labour


What is a Farmsitter? A Farmsitter is someone who has the skills and availability to help or work on a farm or acreage. Vacation coverage, full time help, seeding, harvest, need someone to do chores for a weekend or someone to do the work while you recover from an injury; these are all reasons to call AgriConnect to find a Farmsitter. We will try and find people near your community to help you and we provide our service for FREE.

Imagine - One web site or phone number to call all across Canada to find help for your farm or acreage? One place to go register if you have skills and availability to help someone......
that is what we are building.  
          We are building a network of people willing to help people.

Joke of the week 

Jokes of the Week


 

You know you are in a small town...

You know you're in a small town...
   - when you don't use turn signals because everybody knows where you're going.
   - if you're born on June 13 and your family receives gifts from the local merchants because you're the first baby of the year.
   - if you speak to each dog you pass, by name and he wags his tail at you
   - if you dial the wrong number, and talk for 15 minutes anyway.
   - when the biggest business in town sells farm machinery.
   - if you write a check on the wrong bank and it covers you anyway.
   - if you missed church on Sunday and the preacher sends you a get-well card!
