We would like to share our feelings about our wonderful first experience as a workawayer with Milo and Joanne's family!
First of all, we arrived in an exceptional setting in a beautiful house renovated by them, surrounded by wild landscapes! Milo and Joanne were like a family to us with their closeness, their support, and their joy of living! It… read more

This was my very first workaway experience and it couldn't have been any better! I spent an absolutely lovely and unforgettable 6 weeks with Joanne, Milo, Lindsay-May, Lennon, and Bethany.

Staying with Milo, Joanne, and their kids was a wonderful first Workaway experience. They were very gracious and accommodating hosts. The work was variable, including cleaning up after construction, mulching, removing weeds, seeding, building new beds. It was generally a good pace, we'd stop for tea breaks in between lunch. If it was raining too… read more

We feel like in home since the beginning, even with 5 days of social distance when we got there.

I enjoyed staying with this lovely family. Joanne and Milo took good care of me. They cooked me healthy food, showed me around the area whenever possible, and gave me lots of free time. They made sure I enjoyed my time there. Joanne even arranged one night for me to go to a concert with other Workaway host and Workawayer. I am really thankful for… read more her care about me.

The house and garden are located in a beautiful and tranquil area surrounded by mountains and green. It is enjoyable to work in the garden and see the nature. I did some sowing, weeding, pruning and transplanting. I also helped move stuffs from the house to the storage room for the ongoing projects. I did some house work like dishwashing, bringing in firewood, emptying the compost and setting table. Joanne and Milo gave me clear instructions about work, and they helped me a lot.

They are passionate about promoting of organic gardens. They share this environmentally friendly lifestyle with everyone. They try to raise environmental awareness and give education about food to make the Earth better and more sustainable. It is so good to know people like them are saving the Earth.

They are a family of 6. The family vibe is very warm. Joanne and Milo are two of the best parents who do their best to give the children the best! They treat children with love, patience and the best education. Lindsaymei is a baker, artist, potterier, b-box girl, musician, and cook (the pasta for my last dinner is yummy!) Lennon is a very good mannered, polite and gentle boy who plays music and has lots of knowledge about history and dinosaurs. Bethany is a brilliant unicyclist and has the most craic and energy in the family and brings so many laughters and happiness, and she sometimes became an unicorn. Besides, she makes arguably the best scrambled egg in the world. Buster is a dog which likes sleeping, asking for food, eating, and sleeping. You will enjoy sitting by the fire with him. Milo is a great father and husband who has many great ideas and do them right away, and he plans the projects around the house and is always like go-go-go. Joanne knows everything about gardening and is very busy with her business, but she still takes very good care of everyone in the family.

I had very good time with this lovely family. I recommend this family to everyone especially those who want a warm family vibe with lots of love. If you are not sure whether to have a family or not, you will find your answer from this family.

Thank you so much! I hope to see you again, and I am excited to see the
different OURganic Gardens after the projects finish. :)

All the best,
Tom
