Description
Learn how to milk goats and help us with daily farm chores outside of Homer. Help needed mid May until October. We built our own farm and have goats, rabbits, chicken and a greenhouse. We also make cheese and grow oats. We do eat meat and live primarily from what we grow on our farm. Sundays are minimal chore days, only the milking and feeding of the animals. We attend church or relax and enjoy a day of rest.

Wow, what a great experience! Spent a month with Terry and Randel on their beautiful goat farm and did not want to leave! There's so many good things to say:

THE FAMILY: Right from the start, I was welcomed into Terry and Randel's family with open arms, and they treated me with so much kindness and care the whole time. I really felt like a part… read more of their family, as they brought me along to different family events, from Thursday night BBQs to their 4th of July celebration. And I got to know their kids and siblings as well, who are just as lovely!

THE FARM: The farm is lush, clean, and very picturesque. And the view of the Kenai Mountains (including 2 snow-covered glaciers!) from their farm is hands down the most beautiful view I have ever seen from a piece of property. The pictures do not do it justice!

THE WORK: Terry and Randel do a good job of mixing up the daily tasks so you're not stuck doing the same thing over and over again. The tasks are relatively easy and enjoyable - making sure the goats have hay and fresh water, watering the gardens, weeding, cleaning the barn, or picking strawberries were some things I did. And I got to milk the goats a bit of course. But my personal favorite "task" was playing with the baby goats. More on this to come...

THE ANIMALS: The baby goats are literally the cutest things ever! They're so playful and fun and do all sorts of cute "goat things." The more time you spend with them, the more attached you become. I was not expecting to become so emotionally attached to the baby goats by the end of my time there (I was crying when I had to leave!) And they have some really cute bunnies and a wonderful dog, too!

THE GREENHOUSE & GARDENS: Terry and Randel grow lots of yummy fruits, vegetables, and greens on the farm! Great place to learn how to garden. And the best part...they make for the freshest, most delicious salads!

THE ADVENTURES: Depending on Randel's schedule, he may take you on an adventure or two around the Kenai Peninsula! We went on some fun beach ATV trips, drives to scenic overlooks, and trout fishing at Johnson Lake. And the other Workaway volunteer and I took a trip across Kachemak Bay and went hiking and camping right next to a glacier! I will say, the farm is very remote and not centrally located in Alaska. So, if your goal is to explore a lot of Alaska in a short amount of time, I would look elsewhere. However, because of that remoteness, the farm gives you the opportunity to "get away" from the world, do some self-reflection, and relax.

THE STORIES: Terry and Randel are some of the best storytellers I have ever met. They are both original Alaskan Homesteaders, and have some unique and crazy stories about what Alaska was like "back in the day." I am American myself, but they provided a totally new perspective on American life for me. You'll also learn a lot about cool things like bears and rodeo-ing!

If you want a place to reconnect with nature (and some very friendly animals), do some rewarding work, learn a lot about Alaskan life, and meet some amazing people, Terry and Randel's farm is your place! Thank you so much, Terry and Randel, for a great time. I'll be back soon!

I had the most wonderful stay with Terry and Randel! They were so warm in welcoming me into their home, if only for a brief while. I only stayed a week en route from Fairbanks to Detroit! Terry was very timely in her correspondence, and quick to accommodate me on short notice! Workawayers have become embedded into Terry and Randel's life on the… read more

I contacted Terry with very short notice, asking if she could use a hand for two weeks during the month of July. She and Randal graciously took me into their home, showed me the ropes around the farm, and showed me more kindness than I could ever hope to pass along! If you are looking for a beautiful place, then this is the workaway for you. If… read more

Terry and Randel are amazing hosts. I cannot stress the amount of love I have for these two beautiful people. They made me feel at home right from the moment we met at the airport. Terry even made sure I had cold Coca Colas in the fridge everyday for 2 months! On my stay here at the Farm I not only got to learn how to for 19 wonderful goats but… read more

I stayed a month with Terry and Randel and had the most wonderful time. Since it was the end of the milking season we had a lot time to go on adventures. Their most concern seemed to be that I got bored! I was never bored. They took me to the beach, on the boat fishing and fourwheeling. I got a lot of fun project I was allowed to choose. The food… read more
