NR Farms
If you want to experience culture and sustainable farming this is the place. There is always something going on depending on the time of year and Mother Nature is the driving force.
When staying here at the farm you become one of the family. Good communication is essential, questions are encouraged and respect of all living things. Safety is always first. Travelers may have opportunities to ride horses, go on trips to provincial parks, and or other excursions, swimming, boating or skiing.

About the experience in: Thompson-Nicola, Canada
Netherlands
We planned to stay at Janes for four weeks, but left early because it was not a match. The work is physical, but manageable. However, Jane can get easily annoyed when you don’t do things her way. Although the surroundings are beautiful, the farm is a bit of a mess and because the place is very remote, you will not be able to see much of Canada. There are no busses or Ubers, so you rely on Jane to take you to places. Jane is a good cook, and the animals were lovely. The horses are well trained. We recommend this place if you don't mind working hard every day, and staying at a very remote place.

I really enjoyed my stay with Jane. You will live with her in a nice farmhouse and have the nicest animals around you. The work is manageable and differs from fixed animal tasks to what ever comes up. You can learn a lot about farming and sustainability and will have a lot of nice food :)

Lotta was a wonderful help! She is a self starter and requires little to no supervision in her work. Her sunny outlook is pleasant to have around. Her love for the animals showed in the care she gave them.
Thanks for all your help.

What an experience! Jane is a great host, who welcomes you into her home. She is generous with her time and knowledge around animal care, sustainable practices and more. She is a great cook and the food was delicious! The work is physical however after an adjustment period, is very manageable. The animals are beautiful and I miss seeing them everyday. This is a fabulous place to volunteer! Thank you again Jane 😊

Jane was an amazing host and staying at her farm was a great experience. Being my first Worldpackers I didn't really know what to expect but as soon as I arrived, Jane welcomed me into her home and overall I had a great time. The tasks were pretty managable, just keep in mind it is hard, physical work but soon you'll find your routine and get stuck into it nicely. I'll look back on my time fondly here as the animals are so cute, and I learned so much about sustainability. Canning and food prep was a great thing to learn about also. And you get to go horse riding! Thank you Jane for everything
