The majority of our work was outside in the beautiful Colorado sun (sunscreen is a must), ranging from gardening to trimming/pruning to stone wall-building.

He and Clare were also able to teach us so much more than just about our everyday work and have given us great knowledge to implement in our own future sustainable living. They know a remarkable amount about regenerative gardening and the benefits of the food they grow (of which there is a ton), as well as how to use that food. Each night, dinner was amazing! Clare uses mostly food grown on the property and is a fantastic cook. We really looked forward to this time each day. It was so wonderful to be able to share a meal with others while having such meaningful conversations. Overall, we will forever cherish our time at 'Dover Farms' and hope to visit again.
If you are someone who is interested in learning about sustainable gardening and living, this is a great place to go! Plus the location is awesome and there is so much to do in Colorado!

Details for potential workawayers: the house is very clean and comfortable and well stocked. I slept on a huge, extremely comfortable bed and could have privacy in my room whenever I wished. The summer days were hot but it was comfortable inside the house due to the evaporative cooler. Breakfast and lunch were on my own, and there were two well-stocked grocery stores within walking distance. Clare (and sometimes Michael) made amazing, delicious, healthy dinners for us using many things from the garden. Dinner was at the same time every night.
