Informationen

Beschreibung
Our 52 acres are located in the beautiful Nicola Valley, 20 min from Merritt B.C. Canada - one of the sunniest locations in all of Canada! We have 3 horses, 4 dogs , 19 chickens, and 4 cats. There is a wonderful year round creek that runs through the middle of the property. Our wonderful part of the world is blessed with an abundance of lakes rivers and streams.
We have been manufacturing kitchen cabinets from our home/shop location for over 35 years. The great outdoors is our backyard so we enjoy using it for hiking, biking, walking with the dogs and for winter sports like snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
The workaway program has brought over 50 travellers to our door and we've been fortunate to make some great friends! We've shared plenty of good times and especially have enjoyed sharing amazing food.

Vom Workawayer (Julia) für Host

I’ve stayed with Darryl and Paulette for around a month beginning this year and am grateful that I was able to spend my time at theirs. I mainly took care of the feeding in the mornings (chicken and horses), cooked for them and the workers, did some light household stuff and things which needed to be done. I didn’t know that I am actually able to… read more

We enjoyed Kate's visit and really appreciated her help with everything we asked. She's intelligent, friendly, keen to try new things, and has a wealth of travelling stories and experience. We were fortunate to experience her culinary abilities as well as her new found creative, artistic side. Best of luck Kate and I hope we meet again someday:)

Vom Host für Workawayer (Sheila)

Sheila is a lovely talented funny girl!
We called her Sylvia and she would be quick to answer back with a big smile.
She fit in with everyone and was quick to help with any task. She once came on a business trip out of town, and while we worked, she entertained the client with her beautiful piano playing!!
Thanks for the memories Sylvia:)

Oh wow, what a wonderful place to be! Loveable people with an amazing sense of humour!

Sylvia, the other girls and me, we had so much fun with 'the canadians'. For me it wasn't a long time but a good time, 'cause time flew by so quickly, that I wished that I could have stayed longer!

We stayed almost three weeks with Darryl and Paulette and the time was awesome!!!

Most of the time we did some garden work like weeding, sowing lawn or cleaning up the campground and we loved building the rock stairway. In the morning we fed the horses, chickens and cats and looked for some new fresh eggs.

After work we played baseball or… read more

What a joy to live such an adventure with exceptional people. We learned a lot from a work point of view (working 20 minutes from the city, in the heart of a forest, in nature, it's happiness) and of course from a human point of view ( beautiful encounters, beautiful moments, laughs ....).
Again thank you for everything, we come back next year if… read more
