Descripción
Situated on a 250 acre organic farm in the Finger Lakes of Upstate NY we are renovating our 18th century farmhouse. We also have beautiful barns from the 1800s as well as chickens and a small garden. Ideally we are looking for people who have experience building but are open to those who are willing to get their hands dirty with a smile on their face! We have a lovely dog - Margaux - who enjoys running around the fields! Margaux gave birth to puppies in August 2018 so we have added two of her adorable daughters to our crew as well!

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
They will be in a lovely environment and travelers will get to be a part of an amazing community. The host is a native French woman so they can practice French, learn about gardening, home renovation and chickens! The community has a lot of fun stuff going on and a lot of young people so it is also a great place to enjoy the summer!
Ayuda
Currently, we are focusing on home renovations! A lot of scraping and painting involved, but always good vibes and good times!

We will need help with gardening on a small scale, flower landscaping, carpentry repair of antique furniture, and chicken raising. There is a lakefront property so one can go swimming every day in Seneca Lake, as well as explore the property! Travelers must enjoy dogs as we have three English Mastiffs :) In an ideal world I will build a tiny home this summer and would LOVE help with this too!

I had an absolutely amazing time at the north farm in August 2019. Sophie and her children are very welcoming and make sure you feel at home. The tasks were diverse and interesting. Sophie explains things very clearly it was very easy and natural for me to work with her. She is always eager to share her knowledge and experience and she’s ( such as… read more

Where to begin with Sonja!?!? What an incredibly positive, hard working, charismatic woman. She joined us for a little over a month and we wish more than anything she could have stayed for the whole year!

She took on any task and challenge with great care and consideration, treating all of the projects, as if they were for her own home and… read more

What an amazing experience my one month stay at the North farm was! The two extraordinary ladies, Sophie and Adrienne, who welcomed me in their home, made me want to stay on and further explore the amazing area of Geneva, it's breweries, wineries and nature.

Working on the farm was a blast, with many varying tasks, such as sanding, painting,… read more

My time at the Farm was truly an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, Sophie and Adrienne welcomed me into their home and made me feel like part of the family. While I was only there for a week, I feel like I've known them for a lifetime and am excited to stay connected and visit again over the next few years. Throughout the course of… read more

Where to begin!? Not only did Rachel prove an incredibly hard worker with an endlessly positive attitude but she was an absolute delight to spend time with, get to know, and introduce to the community! We were able to accomplish a lot in the short week she was here, as she was comfortable working solo when necessary. As we hoped, she took… read more

Hands down one of the best workaway experiences I’ve had! Adrienne and her family, and her whole community at that, are so welcoming and friendly. I immediately felt at home. Adrienne is super flexible and accommodating to make sure that no task ever gets mundane. There’s so much to do, it was the best of both worlds to have work indoors and… read more

It has only been a few hours and we already miss Naomi! She was such a wonderful addition to not only our family but the Geneva community, with all of my (now our) friends wanting to spend time with her too. We had so much fun during her stay and she helped us accomplish a ton of to-do's - from the garden, to house maintenance, cooking, and… read more

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Karel)

My family and I fell in love with Karel within the first few days of his stay due to his incredible work ethic and positive, easy going attitude. He has set an incredibly high standard for future workawayers and we were so sad to see his time with us come to a close. Not only was he enthusiastic about every project, he was incredibly respectful,… read more

I couldn't imagine how great my first workaway experience might be. If you decide to visit Elkins' family you can expect a lot of love and fun. It was a pleasure to work for such beautiful and intelligent people that can teach you, inspire you and make you feel as a part of the family. There is always something happening so if you're person that… read more

What a lovely time in Geneva with Adrienne and Sophie! They are both such inspirational doers, and kind generous people! They immediately welcomed me into their family and lives showing me around the oh so quaint town of Geneva, introducing me to friends, and making me feel comfortable in their home. Really, couldn't have asked for better hosts:)… read more

While Julia came to help on my family's farm for only four days she left an incredible impression! Her positive and flexible attitude and excellent work ethic were exactly what we could have hoped for. We cannot wait to welcome Julia back to the property whenever she wishes.
