I loved my stay at the farm! Just like everyone here says; there's no true days off because you have morning and evening chores, but Kelly really wants you to experience a lot of nice things and is very flexible and willing to think with you. For example when she let me go to the fire hall last minute, eventhough we had to get ready for an arena ride. I saw a powwow, swam at the lake, saw a bullarama and spent lots of time in the saddle. I joined some lessons too! You can really experience and learn a lot here!! I loved my last day where we performed a quadrille together. Hope to come back

My time at the farm was truly special! Kelly is an incredible host and genuinely invested in your growth. You don't just “practice a little”; you actually learn, because she explains, corrects, and encourages you in a very natural way. The animals are absolutely adorable and full of personality. And if you're looking for lots of time in the saddle this is the place! The daily tasks are calm and manageable, and there's a good balance between responsibilities and free time.

Cibele arrived later than we planned, but she came. We enjoyed her time with us. She found our cold temperatures a bit of a challenge, but to her credit, she rarely complained she was cold. Cibele enjoyed feeding the small animals and did so regularly. Cibele introduced us to one of the flavours from her mother’s part of Brazil. Brazilian Cheese “rolls” are made with tapioca starch and are delicious. Thank you Cibele for adding them to our menu! I wish Cibele great success wherever she goes.

The farm is amazing. Coming from a farming background it was exactly what I needed to see the different avenues in agriculture that just aren't in England. Kelly really took me in with open arms and over the 6 months I was here I developed as a person. I would highly recommend the farm if you are ready to work, there is always something happening and there are no true "days off" a the farm is a busy place so there will always be animals to feed but our break days were going to cool events like rodeos or pow wows or or going to a fiddle dance. Thank you Kelly for an adventure!

Coming to Kelly's was probably one of the best decisions ever.I lived my best life for two months… Was the happiest I had ever been, met wonderful people, made great friends for life. This trip helped me emotionally and spiritually. Kelly is also a very good listener and I learned a lot from her, done so much during my stay, went to see barrel racing, chuckwagon races, did a branding, cattle drive, parade in town, went to see a rodeo, on fun trail rides, saw the northern lights and even did a competition with Kelly's horses! I'll be forever grateful to Kelly and the farm !

It was my first experience and I really loved it. If you come at Kelly's the farm, you will never be bored. I am discovered lots of news things. I loved being with animals every days . And when I am arrived, my english was not very good, but Kelly never left me out and she is helped me. Moreover, she always listened my requests ( for leisure activities) and she found solutions to please me even if the timetable was busy. Thank you very much Kelly.
