The Experience

We are a young clean living family living on a magical property. Our farm is located on a partially forested 6.5 acres with a Glacial fed creek running through the property & 2 freshwater ponds. The property is beautiful & very private, home to countless bald eagles, owls, bobcats, bears & deer. We have free-range chickens. The farm is located in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. Help us bring our vision to share this magical farm to life.

The Gray family is a very friendly, trustworthy and committed. I enjoyed my stay so well and was able to learn and benefit a lot from the tasks and work I did. I was able to see and visit the nature and the coast, which is not far away and easy to get with bus. The big city Vancouver is close aswell. If you search a Host and Property in nature, peace and silence you are on the right place, sourounded with good people, varied work and animals like dog and chickens. I wanna thank the Gray family so much and I am greatful for the trust and time.

All in all, my friend Leni and I had an amazing time at the Sunshine Coast. The farm is beautifully located in nature. The working experience was fine. Working hours were respected and the tasks were easily done. However, there have been some communication issues. Our stay would have been better if rules, boundaries and expectations had been stated clearly at the beginning of our stay. The RV we lived in is a bit run down compared to the photos, but Tyler tried to improve the experience by initiating reparations. Thank you for inviting us over to some amazing dinners and thanks for the stay!

Thanks for staying with us. The only time Kat brought us an issue was about us changing her starting hours. We honoured her request to give as much notice as possible. On day 2, we came home and found 4 volunteers cooking in our kitchen without our knowledge or permission. Volunteers have their own cooking facilities, or we cook for them (which we did many times ) and invite them to join our family for dinner. Our existing volunteers knew that, so we gently clarified that for Kat and Leni :-)

Take a break from the city noise and reconnect with yourself. The farm location is superb. You are in nature but 10 minutes away from town, and just 5 minutes away from the beach and nearby stores. Work is fair and working hours are respected. Tyler, Lucinda and their kids are a beautiful family and they will sometimes take you over for delicious meals, and wonderful adventures. You will get a cozy and private place by the creek with relaxing nature sounds to spend the best nights you didn't know you needed. I would definitely recommend this place.

Tyler and Lucinda were great hosts during my few weeks at the farm Farms. From living a sustainable and healthy lifestyle to animal keeping and building & construction, I learned a good deal. Everyone was very helpful and cooperative. There was always something to do and they also had me over for dinner. Thanks again for inviting me to the farm. Wishing you the best with it (and Lucinda with Alchemy of Women) See you in a few months :)
