Katie, Corey and the amazing Solomon were a pleasure to have at our place. Intelligent, articulate, capable, mature, hard working, thoughtful folk who fitted in so well we were sad to see them go . I highly recommend them as workawayers and hope to see them in the future if our paths cross.

Perfect first experience here. Peter and Ann are very easy going and calm. The place was for me ideal, off grid, surrounded by forest. I had a lot of autonomy in work, that was always varied. The house is lovely, the dogs are lovely, the food is great ! Nothing to say more ! Thanks a lot for your generosity :)

Denis was a big help at our place chopping and stacking fire wood, spraying weeds with organic herbicide , cleaning our house and mowing and pruning flaxes. He has a good work ethic and was slow, methodical and thorough in his tasks , doing a good job,which was what we wanted. He navigated the surrounding tracks well in his down time.
