The Experience

The home and the home are such genuine, honest, wonderful people who we have had the pleasure of working with and living with over the past 2 and a half weeks. Their home is a warm and welcoming place surrounded by green hills and pretty skies. Their array of animals around the house will surely keep you entertained - you'll even get to walk their pet sheep and mini horse! the home and the home are very environmentally aware and live an eco-friendly lifestyle - we have learned a lot from them. We spent our time gardening, making DIY cleaners/skin-care, baking and chatting over fresh home-grown meals. 💚

An amazing experiance on the home & the home's farm. Made us feel very welcome and ended up like a home away from home. Plenty of animals to help to look after in a beautiful setting.

The home & the home were the best hosts ever! It truly felt like a home away from home! They showed us so many life skills and poured their wisdom into us, helping us grow so much during this time. We got to help with gardening, animals, cooking, cleaning, preserving foods, and even walked their sheep and pony! They are such kind and incredible people, you would be lucky to get to meet them.
