Description
My name is Zak and I love working outdoors and trying new things. My usual life is as a chef but I’m looking to work on farms and with animal care so I can work hard, learn new skills and meet new people.
Farms have always been an interest to me and I look forward to being a good team player and doing my part.
I was also a volunteer parks steward for parks Canada and also did my advanced first aid to become ski patrol.

Zak was a beauty. He was a huge help, he worked very hard and always had a smile and usually some classic british humour.

Kennedy is a great guy with a gorgeous family. The accommodation is the best I have stayed in and me and Rachael had the best time, good location for discovering the south side of the island and Victoria. Apply for this workaway! Apply now, no seriously stop reading this review and send a message. Jeez.

I miss my sister and her family. Synorra is a wealth of knowledge, I find myself looking at weeds or leaf quality, propagating lavender and completely understanding each step on a bio level. She made me a plant nerd and I’m into it. I felt accepted for who I am straight away and I look back at the time and the places I explored with fondness.… read more

Gus and Emily are friendly, kind and genuine. Getting to share great food together after a wood fire hot tub and a beer is what life should be about.
The yurt you stay in is super comfy with a wood burning stove and two affectionate dog roommates. I am truly thankful.
I enjoyed the work and I will miss my friends dearly, both human and canine.… read more

Zak is a friendly hardworking guy and a great chef!! He was a pleasure to have on the ranch, and as part of the team. We did a whole bunch of different jobs and projects and got a lot done!

I had the best time!! I learnt so many new skills, picked vegetables and butchered meat I could cook the same day, skinned and tanned rabbit hide and hand stitched my own mitts (optional!), did some work with wood and building a lodge and also WiFi is really good.
It gave me such a respect for animals and where food comes from and how happy… read more
