Organic farming in the Matanuska Valley, Alaska

It took me awhile to settle in but once I did I wasn't ready to leave (I have extended my stay from 2 weeks to over 5) Vern, Randy and Shane have been incredibly chill, accommodating, and flexible hosts that want to make sure we get the most out of this experience. The work/life balance and communal living is so refreshing and it's because of the example Vern, Randy and Shane set. They make us amazing meals everyday and do most of the work on the farm you can tell they all really care about. Nothing feels like a chore when everyone genuinely enjoys the work and wants to pitch in :)

Amazing experience. Living communally, eating incredible meals together, adventuring, hiking, swimming, working on the farm, and more — everything was so good for the soul. Definitely recommend. I miss it already.

The farm was an amazing experience during the harvest season. Vern is a wonderful host being layed back, kind, generous, accepting and very knowledgeable. I felt so very welcomed there by everyone. The vibe was so peaceful & loving.Randy, Verns #1 Farm hand knows the farm extensively and is a person of genuine kindness & generosity. His daily meal preps were out of this world & his guidance on the daily farm activities were phenomenal. Shane, Alaskan born & raised is Verns other farm assistant with a vibrant fun personality.This was the BEST experience of my life.Lifelong friends made.

This was an amazing experience for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the farm. Everyone here is so welcoming. They are all easy going and considerate human beings. I loved the farm. It is gorgeous and produces the most beautiful organic produce.. It was a pleasure to assist in bringing this healthy, delicious food to the farmers market and our own table. ☮️

100% recommend! Im a shy person so i was nervous about traveling on my own & fitting in with new people but from the second Vern picked me up from the airport, I felt welcome. This place can easily turn into a home away from home (it already has for so many people). The work on the farm is easy & rewarding, although be prepared to be covered in dirt. Theres always something fun to do including hikes, camping, going into town, exploring other cities in alaska, etc. Vern, Randy, & Shane make everyone feel like a little family & although I flew home today, I'm already wishing I could return.

My stay at the farm was unforgettable, the farm and the field are in stunning locations surrounded by mountains, I only met lovely people there and had delicious meals everyday. I got to visit many places in Alaska, you can go hiking, swim in lakes, get to know other towns, local places, meet other people (there is an extra car for the volunteers and you can also have opportunity to camp, they are always prepared to provide everything you may need). I made friends for life there, I would surely come back more times and I totally recommend to anyone this experience, totally worth it.

This experience has been the best decision of my entire life. This was my first work exchange in 2021 and since I have come back six times. The people here are some of the best people I have ever met. They are so caring and generous towards everyone. I enjoyed all the work I have done here. the farm has been a second home to me. I have so many amazing memories that I will cherish forever I have been on such meaningful adventures. Everyone has always been kind and caring and I am so grateful for all of my experiences that changed the course of my life and shaped me as a person. Thank you

This has been the most fulfilling experience of my whole life! Vern, Randy and Shane make everyone feel at home and happy in every way possible. You'll eat the most delicious food ever and meet amazing people. The work at the field is enjoyable and you'll have a lot of time left for all the adventures they organize on a daily basis, bring your hiking shoes! I highly recommend this experience. I love and miss you guys so so much, thank you!!❤️

This has been one of the best WorldPackers experience that I've been on. Vern, Randy, and Shane make you feel welcomed and at home as soon as you arrive. Working on the farm has been one of the most enriching experiences I've had and really makes you appreciate where our food comes from. The work is easy and rewarding, I've learned so much about farming while here. There's plenty of time to explore Alaska and embrace all of its beauty. I'm grateful for everyone at the farm Farms for sharing their time and space and making my time in Alaska a experience I'll always carry with me in life.

La mejor experiencia de mi vida, fue mi primera y estoy segura que la mejor. Vern, Randy y Shane siempre me hicieron sentir segura y como si fuera mi hogar. Las tareas no son nada pesadas, la comida es deliciosa. Los lugares que pude visitar son preciosos y se nota como aman el lugar en donde viven. Solo puedo decir gracias por tanto. Thank you so much for everything, I'm so grateful, I hope one day to come back.
