Howes Homestead
Put in some honest tasks either digging and mixing soil, tending to the vegetable garden or nursery, feeding/milking the goats, planting a couple fruit trees or building a fence from locally collected trees.
Walk the homestead and great the chickens and ducks as you make your way to the back garden. Our family is multi-lingual. The children are fluent in English and Hungarian, and my wife is also fluent in Romanian as well. We are big in crafting with leather and wood and play music together most days (drums, violin, banjo, recorder, harmonica, guitar, accordion, etc) . We also like to organize farm to table events in the summer.

Portugal
Really nice place!\n50 minutes from Budapest, bus tickets are really cheap, you can see pretty much all of Budapest, I worked in the morning doing some gardening but sometimes another stuff they needed and then afternoon just walked the dog and cleaned some garlic.\nThey gave me a lot of food and soups.\nIn general Tim and Martha were really nice people, I talked more with Tim as I worked with him most of the time but they were both lovely people, a little bit occupied since they have the kids but still got to know about some things! Thank you for everything and wish you all luck with everything!

Tim's family is blessed!, they practice values (kindness, respect, tolerance, generosity, etc). They are musicians, they play instruments, it's relaxing to enjoy the frog concert by the pond, birdsong, listening to sheep, goats, pigs, geese, ducks, etc. asking for food, I spent lovely days at their home-farm, very grateful for the warm room, the 3 tasty and abundant meals, I helped from 7 am to 12 am, as much as I could, although I don't speak English nor milk cows, but yes, weeding, they lent me a bicycle to ride around the town, Saturday and Sunday, they had coffee, milk and bread. They are excellent hosts!

My experience here was great, I stayed for a month. Marta, Tim and their family are welcoming and social. Beautiful little the farm where there is always something new to learn. The work is suitable, working mostly in the garden and with the animals. There is public transport easily accessible, opportunities to explore surrounding nature or spend time with the family. I've enjoyed my time here and would recommend this volunteer experience to anyone looking to get involved in self sufficiency concepts.

I'm glad I took this opportunity to learn and experience work with animals like chickens, goats and also learning about farming and taking care of nature.
Their kids are true Tarzan's, love them, Moka (the dog) is a wild beautiful piece of love, and Tim is a dude you can talk and get inspiration from (his abilities with music is simply outstanding).
If you expect a 9 to 14 job, forget about it, you take care of stuff and you have the chance to show you are committed.
Is not a hostel, is not a fancy spot, but it does not pretend to be any of it. Great place to get humbled.
