Wow. What a summer so far. We have had a fantastic response from the wwoofer program! This summer we have had volunteers from Germany (2), Canada (2), and France. Each of the volunteers contributed special skills and interesting conversation for the week that they were here.
Being a wwoof host is not as easy as it would seem. We have to juggle meal times and work schedules with ourselves, our regular staff and the wwoofers. Making meals has been the biggest challenge, as we generally don’t finish working until 9 or 10 pm and most woofers are pretty hungry by that point!
But we have met some really interesting people and that has been worth it. The added bonus is that they have helped out around the farm and at farmers market, reducing some of our work load and filling in for labour shortages that exist in this province. We give each one a great big thank you!
For the remainder of August we will be taking break from hosting wwoofers, but will accept new volunteers later in September or October. If anyone is wondering what it is like to work at a pumpkin patch, well this would be your opportunity to find out. We would love if some artistically inclined volunteers showed up to help build the strawbale maze, haunted house and other attractions that we construct during October.
Cheers
