My experiences at FAR have been some of the most transformative in my life. Caring for each resident and their habitat, up close and by name, made me realize how passionate I was about the shelter welfare and solidified my transition to vegan living. The host Brad is reserved but kind and well-organized. The 3.5 days of work/week are busy and unpredictable, often chaotic (as are the ways of nature), but rewarding; they helped uproot my rigid, modernity-shaped perfectionism. Traversing every day with other devoted volunteers allowed me to form intimate connections and stay positive on stormier days.

My experience at the shelter with Brad was fantastic. On work days you need to look after the animals from sun up to sun down, but with breaks. I learnt a lot about taking care of many farm animals needing special care, most of whom were friendly but learning how to care for animals that had suffered in the past also Brad is always on hand to offer guidance and support but the training is mainly done by fellow volunteers, and I made some great friends whilst here. The accommodation is basic but homely. I recommend the farm for anybody keen to work and live the farm life!

Thank you so much for letting me stay with you, I had a wonderful time with the animals, relaxing on my days off and getting to know the other Vollies :)
The Volunteers I shared the bungalow with made me feel welcome from the start and did a great job training the new Volunteers!
It was very interesting to learn the things that need to be done daily to take proper care of the animals!
You always get to work with at least one other Volunteer, it was very fun with you guys. We spend quite a bit of free time together and I loved our almost daily movie nights together :)

I stayed here for one month but would have loved to stay longer. I am definitely coming back to here.
The Host Brad really cares about the animals and created such a good forever home for them.
I really enjoyed everyday of work and loved the hands on experience with the animals.
In my free time I could cuddle with goats sheep and pig as much as I wanted. (Which was a lot)
Living here will really evolve you mentally since you learn so much about yourself and your connection to nature.
The Village is close by so you can shop in your free time.

Thanks for your hard work Lynn. It was great how much time you spent with the animals, especially the young goats!

The work is so rewarding and the animals are all lovely. I had no prior experience, but you get the hang of it easily if you're actually interested. The people you work with will guaranteed to be lovely and you'll feel at home in no time. I feel like the work is a bit more intensive than maybe described, but honestly it turns into a really nice routine once you're used to it. Only did a month and definitely regretted not planning to stay longer. I'd recommend to anymore interested in working with animals!
