Stockwell farm

Beautiful scenery. Wonderful organic veggies. Lots to learn and plenty to explore in the Matanuska Valley. Trails to hike and lots of mts to climb. Also downtown palmer is a 15 drive away. There is a spare car for volunteers to share on the weekend and we have a community dinner every night.

I've been farming this area for 20 years and and Randy has been helping me with volunteering help and cooking and farmers markets for over 4 years.

It has always been my dream to do a work exchange and I couldn’t have chosen a better place to start this journey. I was a little scared to go to a place where I didn’t know anybody, so I was going to stay for only two weeks, but after the first week here I had to extend my stay because I felt so comfortable and so welcomed that I wasn’t ready to leave Stockwell farm. I love this place with all my heart !
Vern, Randy and Shane are such amazing human beings, they are kind, funny and generous and make the best meals I’ve ever had. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be there 💕

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.

Stockwell 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 Stockwell 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. ☮️
