Vom Host für Workawayer (Vickie)
Vicky is a kind, warm and fun lady! She is hard working and helpful in everyway. I know that she will have her own homestead someday and she is gathering knowledge to get it done right when she does. Vicky is passionate about all things that bring local food to the table, she can prepare soil like no one else and is eager to learn how to be self

She built a door on my greenhouse that had blown off and also a step that needed replacing all on her own and did a job that would make any carpenter proud! I will surely miss her when she moves on and feel so very blessed to have had the opportunity to share my home with her.

My stay at Marylynn’s farm was amazing. The work with the vegetables and the animals is very fulfilling and Marylynn is always up to teach you everything she knows about farming, animals, cooking... I learned lot’s of things in there. Also ate a lot of berries and tasted a lot of products made with berries, an amazing way of getting to know local

Thanks Marylynn for hosting me in your farm!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Xavier)
Xavier is a sweet fellow! We have really enjoyed his time here at our farm and would surely invite him back! He is easy going and also very knowledgeable in the garden and loves to share stories about his garden in Spain. Thank you so much Chubby for your help on our farm! We wish you all the best in your travels through North America. Marylynn
Vom Host für Workawayer (Marie)
Marie is a really neat person, she is very helpful and efficient with her time and always first to volunteer.
Also a wonderful cook and adventurer not afraid to take on some of the not so fun farm tasks like cleaning out the chicken house or emptying a rat trap! I've really appreciated Marie's visit to our farm! She would always be welcomed back!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Lenni)
The reason I felt that Lenni was an excellent WorkAwayer was that he was always there to say "how can I help?" Lenni is young and learning and but will always be improving because he is willing to learn and never offended when corrected. This is an intelligent person, someone that is ready to learn and when makes mistakes and is corrected, makes

Thank you very much Lenni for all your hard work and for being there with me when I needed help. You would always be welcome back to our farm and I could comfortably recommend you to any other farm as a pleasant person who is willing and able to learn and work hard when needed! I wish you all the best in Canada and all the best with your education back in Germany! I hope to meet you again!

Marylynn is an amazing host and I do not regret a single day I spent at her place.
She taught me so much, from taking care of her garden and showing me the basics of planting to looking after her animals and selling products at the local market.
She's a very open-minded and caring person with a great sense of humor. I had all kinds of

We had such a wonderful time on Haida Gwaii. It truly is a beautiful part of the world and we are extremely thankful for the opportunity to have spent a month here with Marylynn and her family at St. Mary’s Spring Farm. The work is varied and achievable and we loved our time helping in the garden and taking care of the animals. There are plenty of

We miss all the animals, not least of all the two guardians of the farm Vicky and Simba as well as our little rat-catcher, Precious! We have learned such much during our stay, from making the most delicious bread to helping Gypsy the goat give birth! We have so many memories to look bacl on. Thanks again, Marylynn and Brendan, for taking care of us and showing us your way of life in this quiet corner of the world.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Alice was a super WorkAwayer! She is enthusiastic and willing to help in any way needed. She is a kind helper and does what needs doing.
She is really looking toward learning as much as she can in her travels to become a self-sufficient homesteader.
Alice would be welcome back to our farm anytime!

Yvonne was a pleasure to have in our home. She was super helpful and never afraid to get her hands dirty, even with mucking out the chicken house!
She would always be welcome back to our farm and I wish her all the best in her new adventures in Canada! From Marylynn

Marylynn is such a nice and generous woman with a very big heart. I felt so comfortable and welcome at her farm. Her whole family is very nice, especially Peter is very funny and I liked his stories about earlier times.I felt sorry because there was still snow when I arrived in March so I couldn't help her planting but she took it very easy. She

My chores were feeding the chickens, collecting and washing the eggs, cleaning and painting the chicken house, planting, helping with the cookies and combucha and helping at the farmers market which was really fun and good experiences. They have 2 beautiful dogs, Vicky and Simba. Vicky guided me and helped me bringing the chickens back if one escaped. I enjoyed to take Simba for a walk, he is still a puppy and has a lot of energy. Both are funny to watch and happy dogs. I liked Marylynns company very much, she is a good story teller and I learned a lot about the farm life. I would love to come back and see the island in summer time...thank you very much for this really great time :)!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Thank you Lyn and Ian for all your help on our farm and for your kind words. You were both such a pleasure to have as company.

We have just left Haida Gwaii where we were lucky enough to stay with MaryLynn and her family. MaryLynn is in our opinion the wonder woman of Haida Gwaii! Even though she works during the week, prepares and sells her produce at the weekend, looks after the animals and her family, she somehow still finds the time to teach the workawayers wwoofers

We learnt how to make wine, jelly, cheese, yoghurt, bread and attempted goat milking, these are just a few of the many things that happen at st marys spring estate. Thanks also to Brendan who kept us entertained and to Peter (the Viking) who has a great sense of humour and always keen for a chat! We were also happy to have got to have met baby deer and of course vickie. We would definitely recommend this place for other workawayers. MaryLynn and Brendan are very grateful for the work that you will do and are also very happy to recommend hikes and other interesting things to see and do on this beautiful island. We were comfortable in the room they provide for the workers and the food was always very good. Thanks guys :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
