Details

Description
Located near the beautiful Moose Mountains in southeast Saskatchewan we operate a small scale, grass based livestock farm on native prairie. Our farm offers a wonderful opportunity to explore our tree filled ravines and discover evidence of life in Saskatchewan before European settlers, such as First Nations teepee rings and buffalo rub stones. We are trying to live a self sustaining life so our farm is constantly evolving. We have a variety of animals such as meat and egg chickens, turkeys, pigs, beef cows and Jersey milk cows. All animals live on pasture and are regularly moved to fresh grass. Jobs range from feeding and moving animals to milking cows, yard and garden work and even childcare for our two young daughters. There is work for people of all skill levels. There is no longer bus service to our town but we can pick you up in Regina if you plan on staying longer than 3 weeks. We are experienced travelers and understand what it is like to be in a new land. We love meeting people and sharing in their customs. Warren can speak basic Spanish. Welcome!

Signe and Joakim were here for nearly 2 weeks and it was the best experience we've had in a long time. They warned us that they weren't very experienced but you could never tell. They are very fast learners and caught on to every job instantly. They are both very intelligent and we had some interesting discussions. They also got along really well… read more

Warren and Jamie are the perfect hosts! They were very welcoming, kind, interesting, and had great personalities. For us, even tough most of the tasks during our farmstay at theirs were a first, they were good at learning us how to handle and complete them. The chores were everything from milking cows and feeding chicken to helping with the dishes… read more

Florian just left here after nearly 4 weeks and we were sad to see him go. He is a good worker and he fit in well with our family. He is also very knowledgeable about France and the world in general so it makes for some interesting conversations. If any hosts out there decide to host him you will not be disappointed. Thank you Florian for all you… read more

Eloi was here at a very busy time and he was a great help. He has some farm experience so he could do anything we asked of him. He is a hard worker and is very friendly. He got along with everyone here including our two young daughters. Thanks Eloi for all your help and for the kind words. We hope to see you again one day.

I only spent two weeks at Waren and Jamie's farm, but there were the best two weeks of my summer in Canada. I felt at home at the minute I arrived at the farm and I learned a lot about raising animals, milking cows, cooking, butchering chicken etc. in their small organic farm. I spent a lot of great moments with them, their two lovely daughters… read more

My time at Warren and Jamie´s Farm was amazing. I stayed there for almost 3 weeks and they went by really too fast. From the first day they included me into their family life and all the different jobs: daily chores like milking cows, collecting eggs, moving and feeding animals or some specials like making butter, picking vegetables in the garden… read more

David and Johanna were here for more than a month and it was a wonderful experience. They are both very skilled so we got a lot of jobs done. They are also great with children and great friends. We had many good conversations. We miss them dearly and hope to see them again. Good luck David and Johanna, and thanks for everything.

Excellent is absolutely the right word to describe the experience and the time we had on their farm. It is admirable how they think about farming and produce their own groceries. After our stay in Canada we could say for sure that the experience during our 4 weeks stay was the best during our trip. Hope we see each other again!

They made me feel at home straight away and it was nice spending time with Ella and baby Daphne. Warrens cooking is amazing so theres always good food on the table.

Lara just left today after two and a half great weeks. This was her first time on a farm but she sure didn't disappoint. She is a very fast learner, mature, responsible and a hard worker. She fit in well with the family and has a good sense of humour. We highly recommend her for any type of work situation. We will miss you Lara and hope to see you… read more

I loved the time I spent with Warren, Jamie and little Ella. Although I was only there a little over two weeks, they treated me like a member of the family from the very beginning. I really enjoyed our many meals together - wholesome, fresh, delicious, and always as family. I learned so many new things in my short time there - how to milk a cow,… read more

Rene just spent two and a half weeks with us and she was a pleasure to have around. She was wonderful with our two year old daughter and she pitched in with every job we had on the farm. She is very mature and thoughtful and would make a great addition to any farm. If she inquires at your place, please don't hesitate to accept. Thank you Rene for… read more

We are a city couple who volunteered with Warren and Jamie for our first farm experience, and it was great !! Sure, it was hard work at times, but it was a great learning experience and definitely worth it. And feeding the calves at the end of the daily chores was really too cute !

Danil and Natasja stayed with us for a couple of weeks during a very busy time in July. They had very little farm experience but that didn't stop them from jumping right in and doing whatever was asked of them. We had some very busy days but they never complained, in fact they extended their stay just to ensure one of our jobs was completed.

Alison was an absolute treat to have around. She is mature, intelligent and very willing to help. She never complained and did every task asked of her, inside the house and outside. We miss having her around. If you have the chance to host Alison, don't hesitate. You won't regret it.

Warren and Jamie were fabulous hosts who were very patient with this 'city kid'. Their farm is their business and all work is serious and valued. The days are full but you are working within a team so there is a 'fun' element in a team environment.
My first job when I arrived was helping "do the chickens" which is not for the faint hearted,… read more
