An incredible time. Our time as Christina's was amazing. We enjoyed girls days in town, gardening, hanging out together cooking dinner. Showing children around the farm. Many other activities that you do on a farm.
Tom took us out fishing. We also got to enjoy some home made Smokies from bison which was amazing.
overall we miss Christina and Tom

Julia was an absolute pleasure to host. Although she had not lived in a situation where a little wood stove was her only heat source, in a motorhome, she adapted quickly. She loved working with the animals and was always cheerful. Julia and another girl I am hosting longterm got on famously and inspired each other, creating all sorts of dried

Christinas Farm was the first ever Farm I stayed on and experienced all the perks of living off grid. To be honest it took me a bit to get used to it but in the end I had trouble leaving as I loved it so much. I stayed in the motorhome and when I figured out how the wood stove worked it was such a cozy little home. I basically helped feeding and

Different tasks filled the time in between like driving somewhere to get hay, getting everything clean in the animal areas again or processing a bison her partner hunted. Lunch was mostly leftovers or whatever you felt like and dinner was cooked by Christina. I’ve never tried bison before but absolutely loved it and Christina’s cooking. I gained a lot of knowledge about the life in the Yukon and it might be different but it’s great. I clearly fell in love with this province thanks to this experience. Christina is an amazing, funny, honest, supportive host with the kindest heart, her partner Tom is a funny and really kind person too. I’d love to come back one day to see all the animals and Christina and Tom again.

This was my 1st "off-grid" experience where they have to get their own water and relying on woodstoves for heat, etc. and I enjoyed it, even though it took me a while to get the hang of my wood stove lol it felt good when I got it going and kept it going myself. I loved all the animals, the 4 house dogs who we took for a walk in the woods, the 4

Christina cooked great meals every day and Tom helped me with my wood stove troubles. It was good to experience a different way of living + a taste of working on a farm rather than in an office (hopefully I get stronger and learn more skills on my journey :P)!You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I was only a short time with Christina, but I was immediately very well received. She loves her animals and especially her dogs.

Holly and I had an amazing time at Christina's farm. Our time there was spent caring and feeding the animals, building fences and cleaning chicken coops.

Lily and Holly were a delight to have here on the farm. both were very willing workers no matter what i asked them to do. they cleaned the chicken coops, fed animals, helped build fences and generally were a big help. their sense of humour meant we had many laughs around the dinner table. unfortunately, they could only stay 2 weeks. i would have

What a joy it was to host Eva! I cannot say enough about her personality, willingness to take on new tasks and, although she is so very young, her intelligence and innate common sense. i hosted Eva for a month and am hoping she will come back in the spring.

Christina is just an amazing person with very much life experience which she is likely sharing. I had so many „aha“- moments, fun, jokes and what not with her that it felt like home if i was leaving after a month. Also the animals are fun guaranteed and the little cow is just adorable.

We really enjoyed our stay at Christina and Toms place, they live in a truly beautiful area. The wall tent was cosy and warm with the wood stove. The work was always fair and the food always good! We spent our free time walking or riding the quads on the trails that lead straight off their property and patting and endless supply of dogs. Tom also

Prewit and Saffron stayed with us a month and we would gladly have had them much longer! they were fun to have around and they were always up to a challenge. i needed a sheep milking stand, they built one.

I stayed twice as long as I planned and wish I could have stayed longer! Not only is the area incredibly beautiful, but life at Christinas farm is amazing. She and her family are open, friendly and humorous people that make you feel right at home! They always made sure that I enjoyed my time with them and see some other places as well.

Thank you so much for all of that
