We, my friends Lars and Hannah, spent almost 4 weeks on Cory's wonderful farm.
We had a great time and learned so much. He came to us with so much confidence and we are so grateful that we were able to have this great workaway experience.
We stayed in his cozy wall tent with a stove. We got to meet his amazing partner Trina.

And then we also became duck parents during our stay. Erwin and Daisy hatched during our time on the farm. We would love to know how they develop. Thank you so much for this unforgettable time.
We would love to come back and learn even more from you, dear Cory! Thank you for opening the door to the Yukon and welcoming us with such open arms. Warm hugs and best wishes from Lars, Hannah and AntoniaYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

There's always something to do in the farm, taking care of the animals, the greenhouse, taking the dogs on walks etc

Hello friends !
I really want to apology for this excessively late review… but better late than never so here it is!
I had an amazing time with Jodi and Cory. I spent about 3 months at them beautiful place, enjoying the view with good meals, the time together, sharing experiences...
I arrived at the beginning of June. I was supposed to stay 3
… read more weeks but I left on September and, actually, I may still being there if I haven’t had to go back to France earlier!
Cory and Jodi are both passionate people, interested by lot of things, they love to teach, explain, and share them skills. They’re also curious and like to learn from others.
The accommodation was into a cute trailer so I had some privacy.
We ate the meals together into them welcoming house. For Jodi and Cory, the food is an important point. They choose carefully what they eat, using locally product and organic food. As they rise layers and pigs and grow lot of fruits and vegetables, we ate mostly things from them own property during the summer.
We also made some bread which was awesome with the raspberry jam!
During my stay I worked most of the time on the timber farm joinery for the future green house. It was a great experience and I feel lucky that Cory and Jodi were confident enough to let me work on it.
I also helped occasionally with the feeding, the garden watering, weeding, harvesting, cooking...
They are very flexible for the help time / free time.
During one of the warmest period we went almost every day at the lake to cool down. We also went hiking, swimming, had a beer or a good coffee in town, went for the local market, visit several places in the Yukon, did a canoe trip... We even went to Alaska for a few days, hiking and fishing salmon...
Yukon is a wonderful region! If you like nature and beautiful landscapes you should go and have a look!!!
Thanks again Jodi and Cory!
Looking forward to see you again!!!!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Elisa is a dedicated and diligent worker, competent and very dependable. We feel so fortunate for all her help carrying forward many of the projects on the farm. A very talented and diligent builder she spent much of her time working on timber frame joinery for our greenhouse. She enthusiastically made sure all the animals were fed and cared for

We spent a month with Cory and Jodi in July and what a month it was! Their property is so large and diverse that there was always something new to do - gardening, feeding animals, brush/tree cutting, woodwork, construction... We learnt so many new things and Jodi and Cory encouraged us to try everything, despite messing up a couple of times..!
… read more They are great fun and generous hosts - Cory gets personally offended if you don't have a beer in your hand at the end of the day ;) They took us on some great trips around the area (which is stunning) and the town (Canada Games centre..!). The little caravan was very comfortable and they even let us camp out for a little adventure in the bush when we overlapped with other hosts. We can't say enough nice things about our stay here - we've been travelling and wwoofing for 6 months since and we still look back to the Yukon as our favourite place!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

Maddie and Andie are an energetic and dynamic couple. They are very keen to help and and a ton of fun to be around.

They were also very happy to work on construction projects and were key in getting the foundation built for our greenhouse.

Helene stayed with us for two weeks and filled the house with wry humour and a calming energy.

She constantly worked more than the required hours and made the best mac and cheese I have ever had. She also made

I stayed on the farm for 15 days an let me tell ya; it was way more fun than work. The farm on itself is pretty interesting for its sustainability and variety of happy animals.

Yoshi is an incredibly hard worker who takes pride in what he does and has a great deal of determination and dedication.
