My time at the farm was amazing, I had a great time, met amazing people and learned so much! Audrey is an incredible woman, who works so much and puts all of her heart into the farm. She always made sure, everyone was feeling comfortable made it possible for us to experience as much as we could of Canada! Although there were some misunderstandings, we worked trough everything and solved all problems. All in all, I had the best time at the farm would always do it again!

My time at the farm was a special experience that I will always be grateful for. the farm is in such a beautiful and peaceful part of northern Saskatchewan, surrounded by forest, wildlife, and nature. It's the kind of place where you can really slow down and appreciate the simple things. The moment I arrived, I felt very welcome. Audrey is an incredibly kind, generous, and genuine person who really cares about the people who come to stay and volunteer. I always felt appreciated during my time there. I feel very lucky to have been able to call the farm home, and I plan to return soon.

Audrey is a really lovely person. Sometimes there can be some communication difficulties, but once you know how to deal with them, it is not a problem at all. The people you meet there are one of the best parts of the experience. I got to know so many amazing people and had the opportunity to experience and do many things I had never done before. All of the animals are very lovely and I already miss them so much. However, you should keep in mind that you cannot simply expect to ride the horses, as they need a little more training first. There is plenty of free time and the rooms are nice.

I have years of riding experience, and yet I wasn't allowed to sit on a horse or ride one even once. The dogs are severely overweight, and I think it's terrible that Audrey isn't doing anything about it. I wasn't treated fairly, and she makes me feel stressed and useless. She doesn't communicate clearly-either in her choice of words or in the substance of what she says. I didn't feel comfortable and ultimately cut my trip short after 2 weeks instead of 2 months.After I told Audrey that I was leaving, I was treated even worse. I hope no one else has to go through this.

Luana really never showed much interest in the horses and could have rode any time in spare time . I have a volunteer now that work almost every day with them!! I have had 3 dogs one lived to 13,16,17 and all visit the Vet regularly. I feed twice a day and encouraged her to take Mokka on walks again no interest. She told me she left early because she missed family and boyfriend and was mad that we would not drive 5 hours. She gave me one days notice. Never a threat. Her review is unfair.
