South Ward Farm

We offer more opportunities than any other host that we know of and people come back year after year.
We specialise in hosting people of a similar age,16 to 30. This helps you make friends with people like you. There could be 8 or 10 of you.
We try to keep an even balance of girls and boys. This create's a great social atmosphere.
Free WiFi Average download speed of 160 to 200 Mbps
We allow camp fires for evening gatherings at weekends.
Wild swimming in the river.
Kayaking.
Great hiking in a beautiful area with lots of friends.
Because of the number of people around there will always be plenty of things to do, so you won't get bored. Especially in comparison with other hosts who only have one ore two volunteers. And if the age range is not the same as yours you could be lonely.
You have every opportunity to improve your English. This is our speciality. Only English is spoken here and we do everything we can to help and encourage you.
Coming here is like going on a summer camp. Group and individual activities around the farm. You will have good memories for the rest of your life!
There are many opportunities to learn and improve skills that you may or may not already have. All you need is a willingness to learn and we will help.
Unlimited amounts of food.
Group breakfast, tea break and lunchtime meals. The meals are always good. Lunch is our main cooked meal, add salad plus desert. Evening meals can be of your own choice and making or can be a group meal where everyone helps.
Games in the evenings. Remember there will be 8 or more ready to play and engage. You won't be left in your room alone with no one to talk to except your phone!

I have been managing volunteers since 2010. I do my best to find the best in the volunteers that come through my farm and encourage them to find their way in the world.
We have a common goal because volunteers are doing something because they want to, not because they have to. I hope our volunteers are passionate about their work – and want to have impact. Volunteers aren't bound by the same command and control requirements that "employees" are. Volunteers can leave when they want if they don't think things are moving in a direction they like.
