College Farm

I live in the middle of Wales in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Its very green, very peaceful and just a nice place to be. There is a large garden and veg patch, surrounded by hills and mountains. I keep chickens and have a pet Sheep called Haggis : ).

I like to grow as much food as possible and spend as much time as possible outside. I like to hike in the mountains that surround us and also spend a lot of time cycling and climbing. I love sharing Wales with guests so you would be welcome to join me and my friends cycling, hiking and climbing.

Matty was an amazing host, he was able to answer all my questions and if I needed help with anything he was able to guide me through it. Very knowledgeable and eager to teach me.

My first Worldpackers experience couldn't have been better! the project is such a special place. The farmhouse is over 500 years old, the surroundings are beautiful, and there's something about the atmosphere that makes you feel at home very quickly. Although my stay was short, it was really good… Matty was a wonderful host… friendly, welcoming, patient, and always up for a chat and a laugh (f.u)… Thank you for making my first volunteering experience such a positive one. I will always look back on my time at the project with a big smile… 😬🥰

My week at the project was wonderful! It is a place full of peace and good energy. I was able to cook with vegetables and fruits from the garden and other local products. I also helped take care of the garden for the winter. The work was simple, and Matty is flexible with the schedules. Matty is an amazing person, very kind, fun, and great company. He was also very patient with my English. He always had interesting topics and stories to share. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun with him. I definitely recommend this experience and I would love the opportunity to come back one day! ☺️♥️

My experience at the project was very positive. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. The work is physical, but you get used to it. Taking care of the chickens and the vegetable garden was truly enjoyable. The nearest town is a 25-minute walk away. Matty is friendly and makes you feel at home. Overall, it's a recommended volunteer opportunity for those seeking a calm environment and contact with nature.
