I spent a fantastic week with Lyn and Ken at their home. They are a really lovely couple and make me feel at home from the moment I arrived. The work varied from picking blueberries to gardening to cutting wood to collecting seaweed.

Ken and Lyn welcomed me into their home with open arms and I can't speak highly enough of them. They are a wonderful couple with a great attitude to life, certainly one I'd love to follow in the future.

Lyn and Ken were great hosts, they made my friend Sam and I feel very welcomed and appreciated. The work was really enjoyable and rewarding. We had some lovely dinners outside together and got to enjoy some of Lyn and Ken's produce which included some delicious home brewed beer. Thank you both for the wonderful stay :-)

Samantha and Phoebe were super help on our little farm with the biggest smiles and we wish them happy travels. There are a great credit to Australian youth and we thank them so much. The best blueberry pickers we ever had and we hope to see them next year.

Myself and a friend picked blueberries on Ken & Lyns Farm for 2 nights. Although the time was short, it was an amazing experience. Ken and Lyn are very generous, warm-hearted people and made us feel very comfortable in their home. The work was very laid back and was appreciated greatly by our hosts.
