The Farmer's Daughter store has been operating in Whycocomagh, N.S., for almost 25 years. The owners need help and offering something you might be unable to refuse: 2.5 acres of land to live on. We have a split photo. On the right we have a shot of the front of the store. It is ranch like with baskets and produce sitting in front. The white sign atop has (printed in big, bright, red letters) "Farmer's Daughter."  On the left is a long shot summer shot of the town as it sits by a beautiful bay.

Feeling lucky?

I mean, really lucky?

Sisters Heather Coulombe (left) and Sandee MacLean will never be accused of not thinking outside the box when it comes to hiring practices. Heather is dressed in a blue tee-shirt and blue shorts. She has brown, curly hair that falls to her shoulders. Sandee's brown hair is shorter. She wears a blue tee-shirt and grey pants. Both appear to be in their early 40s. Between them stands a tall sign-like painting of a dark-haired woman wearing blue overalls over a light blue shirt below a straw hat. She wears black boots on her feet and holds an apple in her right hand.

Want a job and some land in a place that travel magazines consistently rate as one of the most beautiful spots on earth?

Sisters Sandee MacLean and Heather Coulombe, owners of the Farmer’s Daughter general store and bakery in the Cape Breton Island town of Whycocomagh, Nova Scotia (population about 800), just might have an offer you can’t refuse.

To wit: 2.5 acres of land and a job for people who are willing to relocate to their community.

To qualify, it’s best that you like people, can bake, are willing to work hard and be a Canadian resident.

The offer is there.

Been there since last Sunday,

But you best move fast.

Over 1,500 people have already inquired.

MacLean and Coulombe took over the business earlier this year from their dairy farmer parents, who started it nearly 25 years ago.

They want to expand from 12 to at least 15 year-round employees, and they want to do that as soon as possible.

Like, right now.

RCI spoke by phone on Wednesday with MacLean, who was at the general store.
