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.

This place was exactly what I was expecting! Carleigh and Colin are two lovely humans, both living doing what they love and they spread joy in the farm thanks to that. I recommand this place to learn new skills, and meet lot of people from everywhere (always 2 to 4 or more other volunteers with you). The accommodation is what I needed and the food very good.

I had an amazing first experience volunteering, I felt very welcomed from the start, the other volunteers were so nice and helped me a lot at the beginning understanding how to do things right. It's a physical job but very rewarding, there's many projects you can help with, you also get to be with horses and learn SO much. Carleigh is really generous with her knowledge, I recommend to make the most of it. Collin food is really good, I even got the chance to try bear which was great. They really try to make your time there special and I feel really grateful for that. I'll miss you all! ❤️

I stayed with Carleigh, Colin and the kids for 2 months during Feb/March, if you decide to come during that time then wrap up! It was so much fun, and the farm is just gorgeous to work on during the day with pretty sunrises and a frozen lake to go ice skating on or walking on. The more that you put into the farm and the horses at the arena the more you can learn and takeaway. Bear in mind it is physical work! The food is awesome, Kareoke on Wednesdays always fun lol, and it was so hard to leave. I'll really miss the fam and Ive made so many mates from all over, thank u Carleigh and Colin!
