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

Dopo due giorni di lavoro questo volontario ha chiesto due giorni di riposo, il che era inconveniente rispetto a ciò che stavamo facendo. Ha affermato che le sue ore erano lunghe, ma a causa del caldo stavamo facendo lavori leggeri all'ombra e abbiamo fatto una pausa pranzo molto lunga; a meno che non avesse contato la sua pausa pranzo, non so come pensasse di aver lavorato 8 ore. Dopo i suoi due giorni di riposo ha chiesto ore ridotte; in 4 giorni aveva lavorato meno della metà delle 25 ore, quindi lo giudicai in modo da approfittare della nostra ospitalità e gli chiesi di andarsene.
