WWOOFers (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) are integral part of the operations at the Bonavista Social Club. Their hard work and dedication allows us to serve the best and freshest produce possible. Each year from April to October we invite WWOOFers from all over the world to come and work with us in Upper Amherst Cove. If you are interested in working with us this year please visit our WWOOF profile or email us.
Paige, from Waterloo, Ontario To explain the experience the Bonavista Social Club offered me is hard to articulate! I came wanting to see Newfoundland and boy, did they show me! Clément: Brittany, France I spent three weeks of August 2012 at the Bonavista Social Club. It turned out to be the best three weeks of my four months trip. The work is just perfect for revitalizing, take the goats to the field, feed the sheep, split some wood, collect the eggs, pick vegetables and especially weeding! But the most important thing on the every day’s task list is “Have fun”. At the Bonavista Social Club, that’s something you can’t miss. I won’t forget the smell of the bread in the morning, the sight of the whales all day long, and the great campfires at night. Oh! And of course the delicious food! All that is part of the magic of the Bonavista Social Club, my favourite place in Newfoundland. Kate: New Zealand My time Woofing in the cove was one of the best experiences I had while travelling in Canada. You can`t not fall in love with the people, atmosphere and location of this place. Shane and Katie, Mike and Lorie, Anna and Denzil, and Helen are the best kind of people around. They are all tremendously hard workers, but also take the time to enjoy life. They are all passionate about what they are doing, and are a wealth of knowledge in many different fields, and most importantly, they are more than happy to share this knowledge with interested wwoofers. There`s plenty of different things on the go, providing an interesting and varied work day. I spent my time in the garden (preparing and planting seed beds, transplanting, weeding, watering, and harvesting produce), taking care of animals (chickens, ducks, milking goats, sheep and even bees!), helping out in the restaurant, baking bread, and carting wood. If you put in the effort and work hard you will be greatly rewarded and appreciated. |
