We stayed at Kerry's farm for 1 month. It was a great experience overall, although difficult in the first week or so. Kerry had a bad luck and we had to work a bit harder than expected but we managed to push through together and make things better! She's a really nice, interesting person with a lot of stories to tell! We laughed a lot, had fun and

It was pretty nice overall, I stayed one month at Kerry’s house, super nice family, Logan the best kid in the world! we arrive at a complicated timing, the two first weeks were intense, but afterwards, I had a great time and the two last weeks were almost perfect, Kerry is a nice woman easy to talk to with a great sense of humour ! I liked my time

Nis was a delight to host! This kind, hard working, funny and sweet man stayed with our family and enriched our lives. He tackled projects independently and worked well in a group. He's self motivated and determined. My animals and the property were blessed to have him. I had a very sick cow here, and Nis was a person I could count on to help me @

Vom Host für Workawayer (Georgina)
Georgie was an absolute DELIGHT to host. She was always up for any task, self motivated, kind and easy going but full of adventure and loves challenges. She embraced our life here and simply made the most of every minute. The animals, the garden, the farm, the house were better off for her presence. My door is always open, my friend!

I stayed at Kerry's for 4 weeks and had a great time there. You feel directly welcome in Kerry's family and as a part of it. Kerry is a very open and warm person with whom you like to spend time and can talk very well. She does a lot with you like visits to lakes, rivers, restaurants, movies, fishing etc. In addition, she is also a very good cook
… read more and you eat a lot of healthy things from the farm. Her kids are also super sweet and you take them right to your heart.
The farm is a great place to learn about farm life and many different things like milking cows, gardening, feeding animals, making cheese and just spending a lot of time in nature.
Metchosin is a small place that is very idyllic. The neighbors are also super nice and show you a lot. There is also a nice restaurant there, the beach is not far away and you can visit a lavender farm nearby. It is not far to Victoria, Sooke, to different hikes or lakes. So I can highly recommend Kerry's Farm and thank her for the great time. :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Helena )
Helena was a bubbly, fun, injection of life into our group here. It was hard to say goodbye! Her strong, confident, can- do attitude fit right in with all of us here. Some highlights of her visit were the garlic harvest, thinning strawberry plants, a homemade Pho dinner, and a lovely charcuterie plate for the munchies one night! 😋
Helena worked

I have just finished up two weeks at the farm. It was a very fun and diverse two weeks; from learning how to milk a cow to fishing out on the ocean! Kerry and her family welcomed me in with open arms and I felt right at home straight away. The work is interesting, the location is beautiful and the food is amazing! Anyone heading to Vancouver

Vom Workawayer (Caroline) für Host
I stayed at Kerry's for almost 3 months. I quickly became a family member and her family welcomed me warmly. Over the past weeks I learned a lot about farming and I am most proud of me that I now know how to milk a cow by machine and hand. Cherry the cow and I are close friends now. There were and there are still so many things to do on this farm,

She also helped me a lot buying and at the end selling my car and I really appreciate that.
Thank you for my first workaway experience.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Caroline)
Caroline was a huge asset to our farm for her 11 week stay. This was her first Workaway experience and she was open to learning new skills, eager to share her knowledge and not afraid of any task that needed doing. Her English language understanding and comprehension were excellent. I learned a lot of gardening tips and knowledge from her as she

I was able to leave the farm in her capable hands and go on a camping trip with my children for the first time in 4 years. I trusted her completely and everything was handled as if I was home. If you are fortunate enough to host Caroline at any time, you're blessed. All the best and I cannot wait to see you and your parents next year! Caroline, my door is always open.
Vom Workawayer (Ronja) für Host
I stayed with Kerry, her boys and crystal for 2.5 weeks in March and thoroughly enjoyed it! Again a wonderful workaway experience! Kerry is spirited, extroverted and very warm! I always felt very welcome and she did all to make sure I had a great time on Vancouver Island! Her boys are super sweet! The work was totally fine, I fed the animals,
… read more helped in the garden a lot and also looked after Crystal once or twice. Which is no problem at all, she is very calm and the most uncomplicated person I know :) maybe offer a yogurt or make some salad, nothing special or anything!
The place metchosin is very cute and perfectly located! The city of Victoria is around the corner and nature is right in the area! I was able to do nice hikes & also to use the car from time to time.
Hope to see you again one day :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Ronja)
Ronja was a joy to host. She loves to work, to organize, to explore, and improve your quality of life. Despite heavy rain and not the best weather- we started projects and finished them. While she was here, Ronja assisted me with building a huge chicken run to keep my birds safe, getting hay, improving the garden area, transporting plants,
… read more cleaning and organizing, pruning fruit trees, burning old wood/tree trimmings, socializing my feral cats, moving and dismantling a fridge that died, powerwashing and clearing the back deck, and spending time with our sweet dog. All our animals miss her! Ronja improved the quality of our animals' lives - from small to large tasks. She is a cheerful and fun person to be around. In her (way too short) time here, she fit in well with our family and even spent some time supervising Crystal while I was out. Ronja is an asset to any host. Count yourself blessed if she contacts you!
Ronja- all the best in your future adventures! I hope you'll come back to visit one day- our door is always open for you!

We spend an adventurous time at Kerrys Place and we enjoyed it! The two of us helped her for about one month (Feb 2019) to feed the animals and to milk the best cow ever: Pumpkin! We had a lot of fun during the work and also during the freetime, spending time with Kerry and her family and the land owner. Even though we slept in a camper, we had

The animals have been very kind with us and we loved to see them happy after every feeding, touching and moving. Once you get into the working schedule, it's easy to get up and make the animals happy. Step by step you will become faster doing the milking and feeding and you improve yourself handling the animals. While Kerry was working, we had time for ourselves, watching TV, exploring the beautiful area around the property and sometimes also preparing dinner, to make the evening a bit more relaxing. We also had the chance to join Kerrys family to the swimming pool, to the city and to other freetime acitivities. We are very thankful for everything we did with her and really recommend her as a host! We wish you all the best Kerry! Thank you so much!!Join our family an hour from Vancouver, BC, Canada
