Alex and Edward were exceptional hosts! Our tasks included helping around the property: renovating the old drain system, digging trenches (weeding, shoveling...), building the foundation of an oven, sorting vegetables. The accomodation gave us a few challenges but you get used to it quickly as the tasks and company are well worth it ;) The hosts emphasized the importance of a sustainable lifestyle, humanity and harmony, being in contact with nature. With them we had really nice conversations and moments. We couldn't recommend this more. They're understanding, passionate, and good humans :)

This was a truely eye opening and amazing experience. We saw first hand how even the most smart and adaptable are struggling under climate changes in addition to the apocalyptic smoke of the wildfires nearby. Ed and Alex were so kind and accommodating to us, treating us like family and offering the most delicious vegetarian lunches. Both very well travelled with such interesting stories and particuarly ed was notably patient and positive teacher with his work. We felt safe and comfortable instantly and were able to enjoy a beautiful place as well as get our hands dirty!

Absolutely amazing experience, the hosts are very well travelled and understanding kind hearted people, I recommend this stay as you really get in touch with nature and learn about all the things they are doing on the farm and extra tips they give you along the way, they are very considerate with the hours, if its hot you can start earlier so you avoid the heat and if its raining you would most likely work in the tunnels, i have no complaints.. they treated me very well and i instantly felt comfortable there, i cant wait to go back some day

We had a really wonderful time at 1 Place de Puits! From the day we arrived we really felt a part of the family. Alex and Ed were so accommodating and their girls were a joy to be around. Work on the farm was very manageable as it could all be easily adapted to suit different people. Ed was really great about making us feel supported with things we weren’t 100% confident with. We both learned a lot and had fun in the process. Expect delicious vegetarian and vegan lunches, deep and insightful conversations and a beautiful and peaceful space to connect with nature. Thank you Alex and Ed!

We had a great experience at the project! The work on the farm was really interesting and because of the current season quite relaxed. Through the various tasks, we learned so much about gardening and sustainable farm work. Ed and Alex are incredibly kind and helpful, and their kids are super sweet. The area is quiet and rural, and easy to explore if you have a car. Overall we had a great stay, highly recommended!

A very beautiful human experience, outside of time. A few weeks of disconnection, in a bubble of peace, nature and love. I met a lovely little family at the project. The exchanges were very human, I learned things and I hope to come back to another season. The caravan is a very nice space to reconnect with yourself and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. I came with my car and was able to explore the surrounding area a little further afield. But places accessible by bike are very nice (such as villages, small towns nearby and a few hiking trails). Thank you for your hospitality :)

Ed and Alex have a wonderful project going on! The work at the farm can be physically demanding sometimes but the experience and knowledge you get from it are amazing, you won't get bored from it. I really enjoyed learning first hand about sustainability and contributing to a bigger purpose. They are incredibly smart and interesting people to talk to and made me feel very comfortable at their home. Would definetely recommend!

I had the most amazing time volunteering here. Ed and Alex were warm, welcoming, and attentive, always ensuring I was comfortable. Their knowledge of regenerative farming, combined with clear communication, meant I learned so much. I was eased into tasks at a steady pace, allowing me to learn thoroughly, and the work was incredibly rewarding. Tasks were well-structured and varied, with work hours always respected. The van was cozy and well-equipped, lunches were delicious, and the surroundings were beautiful. Having a bike to explore was a fantastic bonus. Thank you, Ed and Alex!!!!

I really enjoyed my time at the project! I felt very welcomed by Alex and Ed and they tried everything to make feel comfortable. It was also my first time working on a farm and Ed was really patient with explaining everything to me. I stayed during winter, so it's a bit cold in the caravan, but it was fine once I got used it. They also have only one volunteer during winter, so I was mostly working by myself. Mostly I enjoyed the conversations I had with Ed and Alex, since both of have traveled a lot and were able to give me really good advice and new perspectives.

Ed and Alex were absolutely amazing hosts! They welcomed us with open arms and constantly made sure we were comfortable. Ed and Alex are extremely passionate and well educated about farming, permaculture and environmental awareness. We learned so much during our time with them and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We bonded well with the whole family and we got to know about the history and inner workings of the community. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to deeper their understanding about farming and the environment. Thank you so much Ed and Alex!
