I stayed with Janette for 2 weeks as my first workaway experience in June. I had a great time on Wolfe Island working on her market garden. Janette is very knowledgeable about sustainable agriculture and I learned quite a bit working with her. The community on Wolfe Island is also very unique, I met a lot of very cool people, the music scene was

There were lots of restaurants and shops to explore. I would highly recommend this workaway experience to anyone looking for something in Ontario.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Wonderful experience!
I’ve spent my first experience with workaway here and I had a great time! Janette and everyone else who worked on the farm or who I met on the island was nothing but welcoming and nice. Wolfe Island itself and the farm are very idyllic. Janette is a great cook and taught me a lot about the work on a farm and garden market. I

Thanks again for everything!

This is place was amazing! I stayed to Janette's farm 2 weeks. I did many jobs there. The mainly thing was preparing some stuff before the winter is coming. I mean, we ordered the fire woods, cleaned the compost, prepared the vegetable garden, planted some seeds, cleaned the barn (stables and water tank), put plastic on the windows, etc. It was

Thank you Janette for every things! Your kindness, hospitality, conversing, laughing, cooking, playing piano etc.
So, if you like to be inside a friendly atmosphere and looking for some pretty Towns it is the place to be!
If a nowadays, I will be around this area ...I will be to come back at the same warm area.
Take care :-)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Janette is a hardworking, horse lover and a sustainability expert. She is a global human being who leads her life strictly by her principles. She was too kind and generous to not let me work for rest of the days after we finished building the horse stall in advance. I was fortunate enough to meet Benoit and Melanie during my visit and they were
… read more amazing hosts as well. Benoit is a perfectionist and he is an artist in the real sense. He adores art whether it is music, architecture or masonry. Just like her mother Melanie is a horse lover and takes good care of them. She loves working with kids.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Wonderful experience& location!
I only spent one week with Janette which was acctually way too short. She was very kind and we did a lot of different things during the week. We went hiking, to the beach and the cinema, had sushi and she took me to her yoga classes. We had a lot of fun and I had the chance to see Kingston as well as the beautiful
… read more Wolfe Island with it‘s lovely community. Her horses are wonderful, as well as her cute little cat, and riding them was amazingl! Janette was incredibly kind and caring and it was very interesting to learn some things about gardening and organic food from her.
All in all I had an amazing week with a lot of cozy fires in the evening and good conversations.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I stayed with Janette and Melanie for three weeks instead of the original plan of two weeks. They made me feel very much at home. The community on Wolfe Island is very great with a lot of interesting and cool people that I got to meet. I also got the opportunity to go into Kingston and look around as well as explore the island.
The work I did
… read more consisted mostly of helping them build stalls in the barn for the horses. For when the winter finally comes. Other than we cleaned up the yard some, carrying wood and the like. Both Janette and Melanie work very hard themselves as well, but they know how to relax and have fun as well.
I personally did not interact much with the horses, although I am sure that if I had asked it would have been no problem. They also have a big old dog called William who is very sweet and likes to lean on you. I personally liked their kitten the best, he was adorable when he wasn't trying to destroy your hands.
All in all I had a fantastic time with great food and great company. I will miss the island and hopefully I will be able to visit again sometime in the future.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
