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.

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 :)

This experience was amazing! Tyler and his family were kind and really respectful. I improved a lot my English vocabulary about farm and housekeeping stuff. This place is perfect if you wanna improve your English, connect with nature and learn about farm lifestyle! You will have a private space for you which is totally comfy and organic food. Also, there's a beach near the farm, and I'm sure you'd love the sunset there, because it was incredible! I totally recommend this place!

I had a fantastic experience at the farm! I'm really grateful for being there! Tyler and his family were always respectful, and nice. The work is intense but the energy of the place and the family always made everything easier. I totally recommend it, I went with Valeska, my fiancée, and they assigned proportional tasks based on our skills. The place is very well located so we met beaches, parks and beautiful landscapes. If you want to recharge with good energy, learn about sustainability, and have a private space to work online, it's the perfect place!
