Elliot was a pleasure to have around. He was a very hard worker and got his work completed in record time. It is unbelievable the talent he has. He was also a chef to our family, creating some of the most amazing dishes. He always takes pride in his work and food that he prepares.We were so sorry to see him leave us. He is welcome back anytime.

First things first. Therese & Rich are two of the most amazing people i have ever had the pleasure to stay/ work with. A stay at the greenes is a stay in a truly wonderful and magical place, From me and rich's rides in the 4x4 to me and therese evening safety meetings we bonded and all that good stuff, they were very welcoming and loving since the

Max, my heart is so warmed by your remarks. You are our first Work Away individual and we have been so spoiled by you. You are so kind and willing to assist at every moment My garden could not be in the state that it is if it were not for you. All the animals love you and want hang with you all the time. We worry that the bar has been set too high

Thank you for bringing joy and light to our farm. It has been such a pleasure to have you in our family. Therese
I had the most marvelous 3 weeks staying with Therese and Rich on their beautiful farm. I don’t know where to start so I dive right in. First, Therese and Rich are wonderful people. Rich has the best sense of humor, the best sense of movies and loves his farm and especially the alpacas and dogs. They have the cutest and most lively dogs and I
… read more bonded with each one of ‘em deeply. Therese is a very caring mom and treated me like her own son. Also creates magic with her therapy bowls. Her homemade bread is to die for!! She also is in love with her Garden which leads me to the work I’ve done in the 3 weeks I was there. We fully started the vegetable and fruit garden. I weeded and tilled the ground, laid fabric to walk on, planted plants, put in a fence to keep away the bunny’s, watered the plants, saw them growing, laid straw to keep the weeds away, mulched certain areas, used the blower to clean the front porch and played, fed and took care of the dogs. Their house and property is massive so there is always something to do. Bringing food to the chickens and taking the eggs, feeding the alpacas and sheep’s, taking the 4x4’s for a drive over the land, go mushroom hunting, finding all sorts of animals and so on and on. The list is endless. I really enjoyed the time for myself that they gave me a lot of as well. Work and time Off was super balanced. I usually had the whole lower level for myself. Accept on days when they had friends or family over. Which leads me to my next point. Meeting Therese and Rich’s Family meant a lot to me. They have 4 wonderful children and especially with Dan I had a great time! Going out on Kayak trips, Going to a football game or just driving to St. Louis was super fun. Therese and Rich showed me many places in Missouri. From Caves, to trails, to Restaurants, stores and cafes. Malones was my fav.!! They have wonderful friends too who were always super welcoming and interested, especially Kerry and Sean (Wonderful people). We celebrated my birthday together, we had long nights watching movies, playing cards, having good drinks and good food (I also cooked them German dishes) and I am beyond thankful how they made me a part of their life. This is more than a Workaway stay, I became a part of the family so I decided to come back for another 3 months! I guess that shows how much this is a must stay for every Workawayer and I highly recommend Rich, Therese and all their animals to every workawayer.
Thanks so much again!Feedback
