The Experience

We live on 127 acres located on a large lake in rural BC surrounded by wilderness. Volunteers would help with day to day chores such as fencing, pasture cleanup of rocks and sticks, firewood, building projects, cleaning of horse paddocks, care of livestock, chainsawing and use of tools such as weedwhacking and mowing for those who have these skills, saddling and grooming horses for those with horse knowledge and other ranching chores.

Carleigh and Colin are amazing hosts who make you feel right at home. They're easy to talk to and ensure a perfect balance of work and fun. While daily tasks like cleaning the horse paddocks and maintaining the house are a part of the routine, they consistently introduce exciting projects to keep things interesting. Despite its rural location, they ensure weekly trips to town for shopping and karaoke. Our experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend volunteering with them.

Being in the farm was an amazing experience, Carleigh and Colin are beautiful people and always make you feel welcome, they are very easy to talk and make their best to make you feel comfortable and help you. I had a really good experience at the farm, it's a really big and pretty place even when I wasn't use to the weather. About the job sometimes the job was a little hard and very physical but I'm pretty sure everyone can do it. It's really important to consider that there are anything close to the farm and it could be a little hard try to find something to do in your freetime
