Description
We are a Christian family consisting of a mom and two teen-aged girls. We have 3 energetic dogs, so you must be a dog lover to enjoy your stay!
Last year we left our beautiful farm on Vancouver Island, BC to move to the opposite side of the country. I really miss my expansive garden and am in the process of re-creating Eden :)
I am looking for some help with gardening/yard work, as well as the opportunity for a longer stay if it's a fit, as we would like to do some travelling over the next 6 months and would need a house/dog sitter.

We had an excellent experience at Bridget's farm. The animals are cute, the property is beautiful, the work is rewarding and the company is pleasant. Thanks Bridget!

I am so glad that I had the opportunity to get my first experience of volunteering on this farm. Bridget and her family are absolutely great and I enjoyed a wonderful week surrounded by animals, nature, and the very nice people who are always around the farm - exactly as I imagined it!

Nico and Aroa are wonderful, hardworking people. They barely needed any instructions, I gave them a list and suddenly it was done. Carefully and skillfully. Sometimes as a host, it is difficult to have strangers come and go but they immediately fit in and became part of the family. Two weeks was too short and we were extremely saddened to see them… read more

Rhian is absolutely lovely. She is a hard worker, game to try her hand at anything you ask of her and loves to bake.
She was fun to have around and has a cheery disposition. We loved her so much that we invited her to come back in between "jobs" later this month :)

Svenja has a very sunny disposition, which made her fun to talk to and have around. Our family was sad to see her go.
She tried her hand at any task given to her and took great pride in her work. She caught on quickly (there is a lot to learn and remember) and was a very hard worker.

My stay at the farm was a great experience!
Bridget is really busy as there are always lots of things to do on the farm. So I was happy to help her with different gardening projects (planting, pulling weeds, picking strawberries, cutting grass, fixing a rock wall, drying oregano, ...).

Bridget and Simon are really, really kind and gentle people. They have some of the most positive reviews I've seen on Workaway and for good reason. Having never worked with animals or on a farm before, this was a perfect introduction to that lifestyle. I learned so much! Bridget always gave me a good variety of tasks and I was never bored.

We stayed at Bridgets place for 10 days and her farm and garden are very peaceful and beautiful. The work isn't hard and various everyday (except of the morning and evening routine, which we really enjoyed).

This place is the one of the best places to spend my time on Vancouver island with a lovely family, cute animals and a beautiful garden. Working on the farm is very satisfying, and after work I enjoyed all the chatting, adventures and great food. I am definitely looking forward to coming back!

This cute little farm on the island was the best place for my first workaway that I could imagine.

Cat and George instantly became part of the family. They were always happy, polite, entertaining and up for anything!
They are extremely hard workers and could be left on their own to add their personal flair to projects around the farm.
They built me a beautiful "secret garden" in the middle of a heat wave/drought, never complaining.
