A farm in the Chilterns

A small organic farm in the Chiltern Hills countryside just 1 hour on a train from London and Oxford , so you have a base to enjoy both the countryside and cities! Helping out in our biodynamic orchard and working on apple processing as well as plenty of other outside chores ( including gardening, putting up tree guards and sheep tasks) so the work will be interesting and varied. We have a lovely mobile home (2 beds) with a kitchen and washing machine. Meals are included some self catering and evening meals with us on work days so you can enjoy some time alone and with us.

My husband and I run the farm. There are lots of projects we are aiming to do in 2024 and after hosting for the first time in 2023, we are looking forward to more visitors from Worldpackers. We are looking forward to meeting people from around the world and hearing more about your experiences and way of life. I like to think we treat people kindly and fairly. We want to make sure volunteers enjoy their stay and leave us understanding the work involved in running a small farm.

What can I say about this beautiful experience with these amazing people? It was just a fun and lovely time where I got to learn about the juice-making process, but the best part are Nicola and Mark. They are such warm, caring people who genuinely look out for your comfort and make sure your stay is perfect. I felt right at home from the very first minute! I'm so grateful for the chance to meet them and, of course, Shadow, George, Faith, and Hope, the little stars of the place that I grew so fond of! This farm has truly earned a special place in my heart. ❤️

Los anfitriones son muy buenas personas, amables, respetuosos, amigables… Se preocupan por la comodidad de las personas que vienen. El trabajo está súper bien, es muy entretenido, y cumplen con todo lo que ponen en la web. Las instalaciones también están muy bien, todo muy limpio y con muchísima privacidad. Lo que más me ha gustado es el trato por eso. Muy contenta con esta experiencia.

Estuve 10 días y me lo pasé súper bien. Los propietarios de la granja son adorables y te tratan genial. La comida está riquísima y las instalaciones super bien cuidadas. La granja en si sí que está apartada, pero el pueblo que tiene al lado está muy bien conectado con buses y trenes. 10 de 10 la experiencia, ¡¡seguro que os lo pasaréis genial!!

My hosts were absolutely amazing people. I'm neuro diverse and they couldn't have been more flexible and understanding. I learnt differently and they recognised this and worked with me.
They were so friendly with great home cooked food every night. The bed and house was great. I got to play with the dogs and cats too, a real home from home.
The work is really interesting. The apples are delicious!
My favourite was the apple crushing machine.
These hosts are so kind and considerate with a wonderful place to stay I recommend them to everyone
Thank you so much guys

This was our first experience with Worldpackers, and we couldn't be more satisfied with it. Mark and Nicola were incredibly kind and close. They also shared with us a lot of knowledge about their culture and farming. This made our stay not just a work opportunity but also a constant learning experience. We are going to miss Faith, Hope, Shadow and shy George so much! 💗
