Description

Hello! My name is Austin and I have been farming and traveling for 3 years now. I have learned agriculture techniques in many places including Argentina, Alaska, and Canada. My favorite part about farm life, is the animals! As a former Vet Tech, I have always been passionate about animal care and I'm always the first to volunteer to take care of a sick creature. Nursing them back to health, and growing food for people is my joy, and I have worked diligently to cultivate that and expand my skills. I have lots of gardening experience from seeding to harvesting, can work most weed eaters and wood splitters, and have intermediate experience in animal care. In the off season I can be found working in the restaurant Industry as a Chef, and I do love to cook, especially with local, seasonal ingredients. And for what it's worth, I am vaxxed. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Austin was very conscientious about making sure the animals were well cared for and very meticulous about keeping their water super clean. She was always very prompt for helping out and we felt good about leaving things in her care while we were traveling a few days. She volunteered to help out extra when we were sick and surprised us with a … read more

Ann and John are amazing hosts with a beautiful farm with an array of adorable, sweet animals.
my lodging was way better than I could have asked for, and the task load was extremely reasonable.
Consider yourself lucky if you are chosen to do a Workaway here!
I did not want to leave !

Karen is a gracious, kind-hearted host who's generosity knows no bounds. From her beautiful home with an ocean view, to the sweetest, most well cared for horses and cats, this was an unforgettable experience. The work load was more than reasonable, afternoon naps were encouraged, and nightly group dinners were a highlight of this experience. 10/10 … read more

Austin was a delight to host and will be missed. She is a truly caring person, with a great sense of humour too. She has many valuable skills, including, but certainly not limited to, creating FABULOUS meals, gardening, and animal care. She is an extremely hard worker, and is willing to pitch in wherever needed. She thrives in the kitchen, … read more

Kelly is everything I wanted in a host/farmstay experience. She is a smart, strong woman with efficient and creative solutions for problem solving. Her ability to communicate effectively (even in tough situations) is something I really admire and appreciate.

I was looking for an off-grid, friendly farm with plenty of privacy, and I got just that … read more

10/10 would recommend Austin as a workawayer. (And she is always welcome back). She is both a hard and capable worker and a wonderful person.

Austin fits just what I’m looking for in this intentional community, people who are passionate about sustainable living and also doing the inner work to become better versions of themselves.
To thrive when … read more

Austin has a huge heart with enormous capacity for caring for both animals and plants. She was responsible for the feeding, watering, monitoring and occasional treatment of all our farm animals. She was also very helpful with the garden harvesting and food preservation (and a fantastic cook). She worked well independently but was not afraid to ask … read more

This Farm is, in my opinion, WorkAways Best Kept secret. Dan and Angela are kind, gracious hosts who made me feel welcomed, appreciated and well fed. Angela's home cooked meals and desserts are something I still rave about. There is so much to do and learn, not to mention a HUGE variety of loving animals to pet and care for, and delicious farm … read more

She has plenty of knowledge about plants and gardening and learned a lot from her.
She worked with enthusiasm and joy, embracing every task doing her best.

She's kind and caring, and we shared beautiful talks and moments that connected us like family.

Wish you the best in life!
