I absolutely loved staying with Gaye at Green Valley! Her cooking was amazing every day. The housing was cozy and isolated from the rest of the farm which was lovely to have your own space. Just get used to seeing spiders! Her dog Dolly is an absolute cutie. I can't recommend coming to stay there enough!

I was lucky enough to stay with Gaye over Christmas and New Years. She took me with her to meet her family and made sure to include me in every activity possible. Outside of the holidays she also took me swimming with her friends and made sure that I met so many different people. The work was physical but not too hard and she always made sure that I was okay with what I was doing, drank enough water and took breaks. The food at her place was also amazing Gaye is a great cook and I truly enjoyed every meal she provided. And all of the food was very healthy and filling.

Gaye is a friendly and charming person. She received us friendly and offered us dinner in the company of her friends. It was a nice meeting. Unfortunately Gaye's profile photos do not match the location of her farm. She should be specific about the images of each place she offers. In our case we did not feel comfortable in the spaces designated for rest and we left

This experience was so much better than I had imagined. Gaye is the most joyful, creative and fun host and gave me free reigns over the project I was assigned and included me i all the goings-on in the little town the farm is closest to. The lodgings are comfortable, the food is home cooked and fresh and the company is excellent.
