  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  This is an excellent opportunity to experience food production on a large scale on the prairies of Canada. By hosting Workawayers, we aim to broaden our own understanding of different agricultural practices and cultures. Every person brings unique experiences, and we’re eager to learn from yours. Whether you have insights into sustainable farming techniques, new technologies, or different cultural perspectives, we believe everyone has something valuable to offer. It’s a two-way learning process that helps us grow, both as a family farm and as individuals.
  
  We have often taken Workawayers to relevant industry events such as the international farm show , Ag In Motion, for one example.

  Ayuda

  We do prefer Workawayers with previous agriculture equipment operating experience or transferable skills and be mechanically inclined. Our business is producing grains, pulses and oil seeds so when not in our fields, we spend a significant amount of time repairing and maintaining tractors, combines, and other farm machinery to ensure they are in good working order for the next season.
  We also usually have jobs on the go around our yard repairing and maintaining farm buildings.
  We have a cat and a dog but no livestock such as cows or horses.
  Must be able to speak english and obtain a visa to work legally in Canada.
