Josh and Kathy are the most amazing people I've met in my life. I got to learn a lot from Josh on using different tools across farm. I had a chance to do different tasks on everyday and learn so many aspects of living farm life. Goats and chicken are raised on farm they we fun to be around. He taught me how to plant Garlic, Lettuce in garden. I learned to drive tractor and excavator from Josh. Almost everyday we had dinner together with entire family. Josh's parents are really nice. This was my first Worldpackers and i definitely had awesome experience. I would strongly recommend Josh's farm.

My experience at the farm was perfect. Josh and Cathy were so welcoming and helped me to find fun things to do in the area on my free time. I learned a lot working with animals and gardening. I had so much fun exploring the state and learned so much. I would definitely recommend!
