I stayed at Donggeun's farm during chestnut harvest season. The work was busy but fulfilling. What touched me most was how kindly Donggeun and his brother treated us. They cared about us, respected our needs and made us feel like family. His brother is a chef and cooked delicious Korean meals every day. We always looked forward to each meal! In our free time, they drove us to historical sites, a beautiful bridge and the seaside. Donggeun is a wonderful host with a huge chestnut farm, goats, three dogs and a happy family. I felt like part of their family. I would definitely come back.

Donggeun and his family were really receptive. The food was great, and he also took us to get to know some places in the region. For me, the work itself was really interesting and we could take some rest whenever we wanted to. I only stayed for a week and left wishing I could stay longer.

We had a great experience with Lee and his family. Working on the farm isn't always easy, but it's rewarding to see how things develop as you progress. We had a true cultural immersion, visiting local restaurants, shops, tourist attractions, and nearby beaches, and especially spending time in his home with his brother, father, mother, and children. The gastronomic experience was incredible during our stay. I recommend the experience! Thank you Lee and Bonggeun!

Lee's farm felt like home away from home - he was very warm and hospitable and so were his family. The farm work is physically tiring but working hours are fair. Lee (and his brother) take super great care of the volunteers, driving us around to sightsee in Cheongyang and beyond, every meal is cooked with love, and they are very passionate to share about Korean food, culture, music and movies and learn about other cultures too! Anyone who volunteers here will leave with wonderful memories and nostalgia for the beautiful Korean countryside. Thank you for everything:)

Lee is a very very great host! I am so grateful to meet such a nice host. We go on tours and eat out sometimes. We also eat homemade food everyday! Work starts at 6am usually and ends by lunch time for the most part. We picked gosari and built fence for the most part. I had a really great time overall. Thank you, Lee!

It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend you to come to this farm ! The tasks were enjoyable and the environment was very peaceful and beautiful. I also enjoyed delicious korean food and had fun on the days off.
Lee is an amazing host, very kind, welcoming, and easy to communicate with. Whenever you need to rest or need anything at all, he is understanding . Every member of the family is warm and welcoming, and they truly make you feel at home.
I already miss everyone there!

I am grateful for my experience working and staying with Lee and his family, especially the home-cooked meals, the nice outings, and Lee's flexibility. I truly felt like I was immersed in Korean culture during my trip. Lee was very clear that volunteers could take a day off or break at any time so I would recommend that volunteers be very clear and direct if you have any needs regarding the work hours and schedule, the social activities, or anything else that comes up. That communication is likely to be well received. Overall, I am glad I chose this host.

The experience with Lee and his family was excellent. They all welcomed us very warmly and made us feel at home. We certainly achieved the cultural exchange we hoped for; we learned a lot about Korean culture and also about Korean cuisine with the banquets served daily by his brother Bonggeun, who is a wonderful person. The accommodation is good and it's easy to go to the city by bus, in addition to Lee offering us a ride. The work can be heavy depending on the time of year, but Lee understands when it's very hot and takes breaks or finishes earlier. He took us out for a walk and we enjoyed it a lot.
