My first WWOOF experience was with Hannah and her family, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better start to this adventure. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and valued. Hannah is wise beyond her years and incredibly generous with her knowledge. She patiently guided me through every new task, making learning feel both empowering and exciting. Thanks to her, I’ve fallen completely in love with WWOOFing. I learned about caring for chickens and sheep, planting, mushrooms, composting, cover crops, and so much more. It was hands-on, meaningful work that deepened my appreciation for the land. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and already counting down the days until I’m back on her farm next month!

I originally planned to stay for one month, but I loved the place so much that I ended up staying for six months! Working with the deer is truly a unique experience. I really enjoyed feeding them, giving them peanuts, and petting King Julian (one of the bucks). Eric is a great teacher. He loves sharing his knowledge and is very patient and skilled at explaining things. Since being here, I’ve learned so many new skills, met wonderful people, and explored a lot of South Dakota. If you want to experience real ranch life, learn hands-on skills, and have a lot of fun, I definitely recommend this place. I will definitely come back — for the deer, and also for my new family in South Dakota!

My time at Arcadia meant so much to me that it took me a very long time to actually write a review, which felt like I’d be tying it up with a bow. I simply cannot recommend it enough: It’s a beautiful place with amazing people, which will work wonders in helping you reframe your life and gain much-needed perspective. It’s so easy to get caught up in an everyday routine without giving much thought to how you’re spending your time, and Arcadia is a place that helps you refocus, connect with the earth, learn a lot, make wonderful friends, admire some majestic cats, and simply be grateful.

A truly special experience!Two Creek is an incredible place for someone who really wants to learn about regenerative farming. Brent is an amazing resource, and I learned something new every time we spoke. I spent about a month here in the winter. It was not easy, especially with the cold weather, but it was very rewarding and educational. My daily chores involved getting food and water to the chickens, collecting and packing eggs, and rendering beef fat into tallow for Two Creek's whipped tallow product. I would also help out at the Cooperage Farmers Market in Honesdale selling honey, meat, eggs, cheese, soap, and whipped tallow. Other winter work that I did not participate in included bringing hay to the cows and sheep, bringing feed to the pigs, and making sure no one's water was frozen. Since the animals can't graze pasture and the days are shorter, there is more downtime than in the spring and summer months. This time is used to build an inventory of products like whipped tallow and soaps for the spring and summer markets. I cannot recommend Two Creek enough, but be prepared to work hard and keep yourself accountable. Brent is on a mission to show that a financially viable farm can restore diverse ecosystems and support local food systems. In the US, this is an uphill battle, and Two Creek needs people who are here to learn and contribute to that mission. I have so much respect for what Brent is building, and I'm grateful I got to be a small part of it.
