My stay at the farm was only a month long and within my first few days I had already felt like I had found my home away from home. I am very grateful for Audrey and all the experiences she managed to arrange between herself and friends of the farm, and really feel like I could be myself around everyone. I really appreciate the level of trust Audrey placed with me regarding her animals and the opportunities this allowed for, and feel the people I met along the way will feel the same as we had such genuine fun and laughs with all the animals. I can't promise there were no tears when I left :')

Audrey is a wonderful power woman and is a true role model for me in what can be achieved if you want it enough. It was not only Audrey's hospitality and delicious food that made the stay so special. I was part of the social life of the farm as well. I also met the most amazing volunteers that I could think of. I had so much fun at the farm while cooking, gardening, fixing stuff and more. During free time we went to ruby lake, on rides, learned roping and so much more. Some exceptional things I could go to was a rodeo, the radio station and a carriage ride. I'm already missing it!

Audrey runs a lovely bed & breakfast in rural Canada. The daily tasks either consist of outside work (checking horses, cleaning cabins) or inside work (prepping food, cleaning). The work hours and days are always exactly as listed. I enjoyed my time at the farm, and the other volunteers truly make the experience! However I'd highly recommend that you need to be able to entertain yourself and enjoy free time as during time off the other volunteers might be busy and there's not always something to do. Overall, I'd recommend the farm to anyone looking for peace and quiet, mixed with a fun time

The farm is a really cozy place and if you make the effort, you will get a family abroad! I would say that this experience is more like a home stay, and helping with the B&B, than learning about the farm life, but if your looking for a place where to connect with people around the world and to make fun memories, this is definitely the place for you! I had a great experience and will forever remember my stay and the people I meet!

I spent two months at the farm and it was an incredible experience. Audrey is a strong, generous, and very understanding woman, especially with my English. She made me feel at home from day one. I shared time with colleagues from different countries and we formed a small family. The horses, the dogs, and life on the farm reminded me of my childhood and filled me with joy. Thank you, Audrey, for your love and for making this place so special.
