Cape Breton is a small island at the eastern end of Nova Scotia. It features all four seasons, the population (as or 2001) is just under 150,000 and the community is true to its small town roots.

The Farmer's Daughter Country Market, a bakery and general store, is a staple of this hidden paradise and it is looking to expand. They have everything they need, except people.

After hiring all the qualified locals in need of a job, the business put out a nearly too-good-to-be-true call for help on Facebook.

Anyone willing to relocate (and meet the needs and qualifications of the store) will be offered a job and two acres of land to live on.

However, since the town is not qualified for the Foreign Worker Program, it can take only people who are legally authorized to work in Canada (just a few extra steps for any foreigner who really really wants the job).

For more information about the requirements, check out the Farmer's Daughter Country Market's Facebook page.

The chances of being hired are pretty damn slim for a Canadian, nearly impossible for an American.

I went to a French language Summer Camp in Nova Scotia, and I can say that during the summer, it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. frick their winters.

That weather doesn't seem all that appealing to move to for a low paying job.

Also, can a place really be THAT great to live if population is decreasing at the kind of rates that make them want to give away land to attract people?

I might be down. Should have some really distant relatives living there since both sides of my family tree go to Nova Scotia about 6 generations back
