Description

My name is Quincy, I am 27 years old originally from Toronto, Ontario. Over the summer I worked for a workaway host, in the Okanagan, making and selling homemade fruit smoothies at farmers markets.

I joined workaway because I am interested in learning about farming, gardening, homesteading and other country living skills. My hope is too immerse myself in community and rural settings away from city life which I grew up in. I am a very clean and organized person. I have basic cooking, cleaning, gardening and landscaping skills however I have a lot to learn and even greater potential. A host who is able to take the time to teach me specific skills/tasks will be the most beneficial for the both us. Please feel free to message me.

Quincy stayed with us for three weeks. He learned to prune fruit trees and did a very good job cleaning waterstains in the shower and washing windows. He is pleasant to host, eager to help with whatever is needed and polite and respectful. We enjoyed having him

Nicki and George are very hospitable, knowledgable and wise people who I had the pleasure of staying with for nearly 4 weeks on their property in beautiful Gabriola Island. I mostly did some pruning, cleaning around the house, light maintenance and animal chores for their wonderful dog, chickens and sheep. They cook delicious meals, kept me well … read more

I had the pleasure of working with Dave and Elizabeth for the majority of the summer season making smoothies 2-3 days a week and selling at the markets where I would go usually twice a week. Smoothie production and selling at the markets are basic procedures but require some attention to detail.
You won't go hungry as Elizabeth cooks the best … read more

From the moment I met Earl in March 2024 and volunteered for about one week with him he was kind, courteous and treated me like family. You are part of his family while there and he was very happy to show me around much of his beautiful coastal community. I did a little bit of everything while at Earl's doing basic cooking, yard work, carpentry … read more

I stayed on the farm for three works where I had a great time and it was one of the better experiences I've had. Most of the accommodations are (but not limited to) bunk beds, which I shared with another workaway. There is a variety of tasks available on the farm from gardening/orchard work to woodwork, landscaping, carpentry and cleaning. I would … read more

The three weeks I spent at the community hosted by John Michael and Lana past quickly and it was a great time! Usually there are other workawayers and community members working on the natural build with you.

The work can be repetitive but usually is not physically demanding. It can be enjoyable and you can listen to music. There are lots of … read more
