I liked my timed at the farm a lot, the family is really loving and sweet. I liked the balance of having lunch by myself and dinner with all the family, and the tasks I had were clear :)

Siewart and Tanya were absolutely amazing hosts! From the moment we arrived at the house, we were treated like family. Siewart and Tanya (along with the rest of the family) were incredibly welcoming and fun to spend time with. We had a few game nights, played pool, and even had a family movie night with them. Additionally, we were able to try a lot of traditional Dutch and Russian foods which was really fun and the cooking was amazing. The work was also very enjoyable. I love planting and gardening so I did that most of the time while my friend enjoys building things so he did a lot of that!
