Where should we start? We want to thank Debbie and Jim from the bottom of our hearts for this amazing stay over Christmas time and making this feel like home.
You both are absolutely lovely, funny and heartful people.
Our tasks included animal chores in the mornings and evenings, helping out on the property (cover mud with mulch or shovel snow
… read more with the Kubota which was super fun.) we loved being surrounded by all the animals and already miss them, especially the dogs and the puppies.
It was great to learn more things about farming from them, but also the game evenings and chats were so much fun and interesting. Even though we could only stay 8 days at the end, we enjoyed it all the time.
Thanks for having us and hopefully we see each other again.

Jenn and Jim were dear host, they gave us a lot of information about the area and prepare every day a dinner. We were greeted warmly every morning by them three little dogs and outside of the sheep, horses, dogs, chickens, the nice black cat, the bunny,guinea pig and the donkeys =) We fed the animals every morning and evening and did various work.

Lovely couple - very willing and worked well. Some difficulty communicating but we made it work. Sorry they had to leave so soon but understand that skiing and snowboarding are their passions and not much of that in our area.
