See what past Farmaroos and host farmers have said about the program

“I really enjoyed my work because my employers and others I worked with were extremely welcoming and helpful. My accommodation was excellent and the farm equipment was top quality. It was a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend it.”

—  Sam Ross, Farmaroo® , Manitoba, Canada

“My host farmer and I are tight. We got along really well and the accommodation was brand new. They treat you with huge amounts of respect. The money is good and the work is fun. There is a set-up fee that you pay but it’s worth it. It will be one of the best experiences of your life.”

— Elliott Wankel, Farmaroo® , Saskatchewan, Canada

“I wanted to come for the experience. Within a month I was organised and on a farm I loved. My host farmer showed me a really good time – water skiing, hunting. I felt very safe and secure. I’ve been well paid, with free board and hardly any expenses – loved working the big machinery.”

— Courtney Murrison, Farmaroo® , Saskatchewan, Canada

“Canadian Farmaroos are perfect – they’re keen to work and reliable. Elliott enjoyed the experience and fitted straight in. All the locals knew who he was, where he worked and where he belonged. It gives Farmaroos a real home base and we want them to feel that way.”
