Morgane has been a cheerful addition to our family! She is so helpful, willing and up to the task! Morgane has a calm, steady presence when working with animals. This quality became really obvious to us when we were receiving our spring pullets. Morgane is the best chicken catcher and was so gentle with the birds they were walking to her. I also

The Farm - a magic place which will forever stay in my heart. :green_heart:
I stayed with Pam and Fred for two weeks. It was my first experience with workaway and I would say the best I will ever have.
I had so much fun to helping with the chickens, collecting eggs and doing work in the garden. But it doesn't feelt like work more then helping
… read more good friends. Pam and Fred are so open hearted, funny and creative persons. Pam teached me so much about cooking and gardening. We both went together to Yoga and it was so much fun. Fred was so energetic and has a great humor and it was great to share some Country Music while driving along the Mountains. Thanks for so many unforgettable experiences !!! After these two weeks it felt for me like home and it was very sad for me to leave this place !
Meeting both taught me a lot and was good for my Soul!
Best wishes to you and hope we see us one day again :herb::sunflower::earth_americas:

Vanessa is a delightful young woman and we enjoyed her stay very much. She is upbeat and conversational and jumps into any task given with great enthusiasm. We became very comfortable around each other very quickly and she will be missed. Fred and I hope to see Vanessa again some day and wish her the very best in her future endeavours!

Saxon and I had a wonderful time at Pam and Fred’s egg farm! The work is fun and pretty straight forward. We had a big, comfy room and were extremely well fed. It’s worth the trip just for the meals, Pam is incredibly in the kitchen! There are lots of cute animals to pat and play with in your spare time. They also showed us some cool local spots,

Holly and Saxon were delightful to host. They are very chill and easy going and up to the task. They appeared to enjoy our routine here on the farm and our hens are missing them. Our dogs and cat miss them too. We would not hesitate to recommend Saxon and Holly to others.

You'll also never get bored there since there's just so much to do and to see around, they showed us the best insider spots and took us on adventures, so that we got to experience a lot of the region. Thank you both so much once more, hope to see you again some day!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

It was a pleasure to host Priska and Harold. They are a genuine and delightful couple who are not afraid to take on any task we asked of them with enthusiasm. We shared many meals and good stories together. They were unfailingly upbeat and happy and we enjoyed sharing our lives and culture. Harold and Priska are excellent with livestock and pets

I was staying with Pam and Fred for a month, which was way too short! Pam and Fred were extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable. They are a kind-hearted, hard-working and funny couple. I will miss our conversations and Fred's funny stories.
My work consisted of picking up, washing and storing eggs. It was fun working with the chickens
… read more and I learned a lot about chicken farming. I also helped with their vegetable garden which should look amazing by now. After work we would sometimes relax in their hot tub.
Pam and Fred have 3 dogs and 2 cats which you can't help but fall in love with!
Pam is a passionate cook and makes the best sourdough bread I have ever eaten, and Fred catches wonderful kokanee salmon.
They showed me nearby places such as Ainsworth hotsprings, Nelson and Kaslo.
They made sure I had a good stay and we're just amazing! I already miss my time with Pam and Fred, but will definitely come back again!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Karolina left us today and she will be missed. We appreciate her hard work and cheerful disposition and also her knowledge in the kitchen. Karolina was our first workawayer and what a positive first experience it was! When we gave Karolina a task to do she fulfilled it to completion and often took initiative to do other work around the farm

We had a nice time showing Karolina around our area and had a few adventures. Karolina left her room clean and tidy. We would love to stay in touch and hear about her further adventures. Karolina, you are welcome to come back to the Farm anytime!We've noticed that there's less than 3 photos uploaded to your profile.
