Newly retired couple with “servant hearts”
We both grew up in rural areas of Texas - Shane on a cotton farm on the high plains and Ann on a peanut farm and ranch in central Texas. We are both adventurous and have excellent work ethics. Our goals for early retirement include traveling the world, meeting people, and offering service where we can to help others achieve their goals.

Alice and Michael were such a delightful couple with a wealth of knowledge across so many areas. The main goal during our stay was to help clear an old fence line in preparation for a new fence, and thanks to the proper tools and equipment they provided, the job was much easier than expected.

Alice is an incredible cook, and every meal she … read more

Shane & Ann were such a blessing to us. The time we spent together was productive, but also so fun as we spent time getting to know each other over meals, playing cards or taking them out to enjoy a day in the Canadian Rockies. They are kind, caring, thoughtful, and willing to serve in any way and we know that this relationship will last far … read more

Shane and Ann were truly amazing helpers. They worked so hard and I felt like they were truly enjoying their work and they truly wanted to make a difference and give back. They took the initiative to work from a long list of projects and they did the work with passion and excellence. They built a pig house, a wood shelter, cut grass, organized … read more

WOW - Joseph was our first workaway experience and it was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! There were so many opportunities to work on the farm and help mark items off his "to do list"! We regret that we did not have longer to stay but we look forward to returning in the future - we have definitely developed a "life long friend" in Joseph. THANK YOU!!!
