We are a cattle ranch in the remote Chilcotin region of British Columbia. My husband, our two children and I welcome you to be part of our family and our operation. Our ranch is located 250 km west of Williams Lake. On our ranch you will learn everything about ranching. You will help out with all the ranch activities such as:Calving, feeding, cleaning stalls, fencing, trail cutting, land clearing and clean up, field work, haying, branding, irrigating, cattle drives, horse back riding or what ever else is needed to be done at the time. We also have our own vegetable garden and a greenhouse were we produce goods trough out the summer months. We milk our milk cows by hand. I make our own cheese, butter and yogurt and could use some help there as well. You will also be involved in the everyday chores around the house. Everyone helps everybody! We live in the wilderness. There is no cell phone service, our home offers free WiFi. There is no shopping, meeting at the cafe or going out on Saturday nights. Our community associations provide us with some events. Tatlayoko Lake is not far from our place and we enjoy the lake in the summer. Certifications: We are not a certified organic farm, but we are a grass fed operation. Don't use any chemicals or medicated feed. Eat as much as possible of our own products. Internet access available

We had a great time at Sabina and Troy 's Ranch!! The Ranch is located in an amazing valley surrounded by beautiful mountains, 10 minutes drive to the incredible Tatlayoko lake. The lake is really amazing !! We enjoyed every moment there !! We could do fishing, kayak, paddle , we rode a horse once, we went walking in the beautiful area, shared moments with the family and their friends. Sabina and Troy are really welcoming. Sabina is a really good cook and Troy has a great sense of humor! The help needed was interesting : fixing fences, helping feeding animals, cutting weeds in the mountain, cutting wood, haying, landscaping a river... It was a pleasure doing it in such a beautiful surrounding !! Sabina always made us feel at home and we shared good moments together. We really appreciated our Wwoofing in that Ranch and highly recommand!!

I spent 2 months on the Harris ranch and it was just an awesome time. They received me really well and I felt like a part of the family. It was just an incredible time there. I collected a lot of experience, while I was working or in my free time. I've done so many different things from changing pipes to driving tractors around, cutting trails with the horse, etc… The ranch is in the middle of the Tatlayoko Valley with beautiful surroundings. There is a lot of wildlife going on (perfect to see Grizzlies) and the Tatla Lake is just beautiful. With other words a very recommendable ranch. Thank you very much for the awesome time, I really enjoyed it. See you soon. Hans
