The Experience
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll join me on my journey for a month or two or long-term. I have a pair of picturesque, riverfront hobby farms, each with a large 4-bedroom house. I have a small field of wild blueberries, a dozen alpacas, and a small flock of free-range chickens. I'd love some help with the animals and projects around the farm. It's a very culturally conservative area. Not the best place if you're woke or list your pronouns.

If you're looking for a Canadian experience. I 100% recommend the farm! From my arrival i have felt nothing but comfort. It is very quiet and quaint, and if thats what you're needing. This is the perfect experience. The work is very easy, and you do what you're best at. For my first Worldpackers trip I wanted to feel safe and sound. This was exactly that, and more! I would definitely come back! The animals are super sweet, the landscapes beautiful, the food Arthur made was amazing, house is super cute and rustic. There is really no complaints! Thank you Arthur for the amazing time!:)

As my first worldpacker experience the farm was the perfect place. If you want to get away from cities and many people, or connect with animals and nature, this is the place for you! Art is a very kind and accomodating guy (with awesome cooking skills) who explains your tasks to you and then trusts you to do it well. Of course you can always ask him if something is unclear. In winter, the house is quite cold but you get used to it and when the furnace is on it gets really cozy. The tasks aren't hard, I especially liked taking care of the animals. I'm gonna miss the sweet Alpacas and Luna.

My unfortunately way too short time at the farm was better than I could have imagined! It was my first worldpacker experience and I realised here how nice it is to help other people and work with the animals. Art is a wonderful and kind person and I had an unforgettable time with him.. he is a very great host and you can learn a lot from him and, be the way, he is an amazing and talented cook! (These plantings were awesome :)) I can heartily recommend everyone to experience the real farm life on Art's Farm :) Thank you! <3

I had such a great time at Arthur's farm. Art is a kind and respectful person, he is easy to get along with. He is a great cook and has a wonderful welcoming home. Art is very good at finding what work you are really good at and making sure you are always working on a project you are comfortable with. The animals are very calming to spend time with and are super friendly- especially Luna.

Thank you for all the great work, Eva, especially the eye-popping painting you did outside. Safe travels!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I got exactly what I was looking for. This is a good place to learn new skills as Art will teach you how to do things and then leave you to work at your own pace, and doesn't like to micro-manage. Art is a lovely guy and a great cook. There is some beautiful scenery around and Art will recommend some of the best spots. This is a great experience to have if you're looking to learn new skills and connect with nature. It's more enjoyed if you're able to spend lots of time by yourself. I highly recommend the farm's Farm.
