Sophie and Jeremy own a beautiful property in Corsica with their own restaurant and farm. They are two of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met. Not only did they teach us how to prepare organic dishes, but they also introduced us to Corsican culture and showed us some beautiful spots around the area. The other volunteers were super welcoming from the moment I arrived, and they definitely made my stay even better. I will for sure come back to the farm in the future and highly recommend this experience!!

Sophie and Jeremy must be two of the most genuine and kind-hearted people I've ever met. From my very first day at the farm, I felt like I was part of a team. I loved the way the kitchen and the farm were organized, as well as how they explained our daily tasks to us. And, of course, I loved the fact that there was free coffee every day I also had the chance to meet some incredible people during my stay at the farm. Without a doubt, these have been the best three and a half weeks I've had since arriving in Europe.

Sophie and Jeremy conduct a beautiful restaurant/farm where I lived one of the best experiences I’ve had travelling. They taught us how to prepare dishes, showed us Corsican culture, introduced us to some beautiful spots where we could go to explore, gave us flexible schedules, and so much more. The farm has a beautiful feel and atmosphere to it, that was only matched by the warmth and enthusiasm of everyone volunteering or working at the farm. I will definitely return, and I fully recommend this to anyone who wants to spend a great time in the island of Corsica.

Despite my short time at the farm, I was left with a very positive impression. I felt welcome from day one. The location was beautiful, the work in the kitchen was straightforward and educational, and everyone was very friendly.
Thank you, Sofie and Jermy, for this experience; I wish you all the best for the future!

My experience was very good! Jeremy and Sophie are super generous, always willing to give more than committed. The task mostly helping in the kitchen with the preparations before the service, and you will also do some cleaning. If you go with a good energy they will be willing to teach you anything. Take into account that there will be around 4 volunteers more, so for that reason I wasn't able to practice my French as much. This is really an amazing project, you will get to see how products harvested the same day go directly to customers. Take into account the location is not well connected!
