Phil is extremely knowledgeable about all things permaculture and syntropic agriculture. If you would like to learn by doing, this is an amazing opportunity to do just that. Helen also makes amazing meals which are appreciated after what is often quite physical work. There is not much to do in the area so you need to be keen to work, to learn and to enjoy a quiet lifestyle. Accommodation is private and nice enough. Hours are often a bit longer than indicated here but as Phil always gives you new tasks to work on and is happy to explain everything, the days go by quite fast. Thank you both!

My personal experience differed from what I had anticipated and from what previous volunteers described. I arrived during an intense heatwave and was the only volunteer present. The workload amounted to roughly 8 hours a day, significantly more than the 25-hour weekly agreement. When I raised concerns about a 40-hour work week, Phil stated I would be expected to complete all assigned tasks regardless of the hours it took, and that if I disagreed I could leave. This response made me feel uncomfortable, especially given our prior agreement. I ultimately chose to leave the placement a week early

Après 2 jours de travail, ce volontaire a demandé deux jours de congé, ce qui était inconvenant par rapport à ce que nous faisions. Il a affirmé que ses heures étaient longues, mais en raison de la chaleur nous faisions un travail léger à l'ombre et avons pris une très longue pause déjeuner; à moins qu'il ne comptabilise sa pause déjeuner, je ne sais pas comment il pensait avoir travaillé 8 heures. Après ses deux jours de congé il a demandé des heures réduites, en 4 jours il avait travaillé moins de la moitié des 25 heures, j'ai donc jugé qu'il profitait de notre hospitalité et je lui ai demandé de partir.
