Totally recommend this Workaway to anyone; Leif was a super welcoming and accomodating host, and Jericho is such an absolutely beautiful and picturesque town; I wish I'd had more time here! The workawayer room is cozy, it was amazing to have access to a kitchen again, and the work is no biggie. Try to take the bus ride in during the day when you… read more

Although Eliza only had time to stay with us for about a week, it was such a pleasure to have her here! She's warm, kind and funny and creates great energy around her. Tasks were always completed correctly, independently and on time; a real diamond of a workawayer - recommended for any hospitality job!
Thanks Eliza; hope to see you around again… read more

Eliza es una mujer encantadora, dulce y muy muy atenta.
Fue poco tiempo, nos hubiera gustado compartir mucho más tiempo, pero en el poco tiempo pudimos compartir momentos muy agradables, nos ayudó con todas las tareas del jardín, de la bioconstrucción, tejiendo hierbas para hacer muros ecológicos, siempre con una gran sonrisa y disposición.

I had such a wonderful, beautiful time staying with Aleja and Chris on the Granja; I would absolutely recommend this workaway. The property is absolutely gorgeous with such amazing views, the shared volunteer bunkhouse is cozy and full of blankets, Aleja's cooking is delicious and the work is very varied and fun. During my time, we planted… read more

Eliza was a pleasure to host. She was a lot of fun to be around and was a very hard worker. She was also pro-active in taking care of the little things that needed to be done. The mural she and her friend Anna painted is beautiful!! She is welcome at our place anytime and I hope she comes back soon.

Wow!!!! This is a beautiful place and we learned so much from Chris and our peers! During our time, we were mostly helping him build the poet's cafe using cordwood masonry - Chris was very thoughtful and we learned a skill we knew nothing about previously. There were opportunities to hike, and Chris was always willing for us to have time to do… read more

There is a very strong community, the farm work is lovely and manageable, and Jeremy is so fun, respectful, and wise - we learned so much from him as well as all our peers at the farm.

Girls, I'm so sorry this feedback has taken so long! Fortunately I remember your stay well! I remember how nervous Josh was to have girl ranch hands ... especially for bucking hay! And I remember how you blew out of the water all preconceived notions he held - you guys rocked. Josh was amazed at your dedication, perseverance and sheer strength… read more

Staying with Josh and Kirsty was the most wonderful, fulfilling, funny, and just ridiculously positive experience- and we could not have asked for a better Workaway first. Their family is silly, snuggly, and welcoming beyond belief, and working with Josh every day on the farm was an absolute treat- he is a fabulous person who lives life in an… read more
