The home is in a beautiful location. There are several animals on the farm, and being in their company for a month was a great and soothing experience. Nearby there are several things to do, such as visit the coast, go to a charming french village, or swim in a secluded river spot. The work did not feel like too much, whilst Namua made sure to provide lots of vegan food everyday, and was a good host. One criticism I would have is that communication around tasks could have been better, as it was often left to previous volunteers to relay information. Overall it was a great experience.

I had a great experience staying with Namua. She is a exellent cook, and I learned a lot about sustainability, plants and a more environmentally conscious way of living. I also improved my English during my stay. I appreciated that she gives criticism and feedback openly without making it a big issue. However, you should be able to accept criticism and not take it personally. The village itself is really beautiful and cute, with lots of opportunities for hiking in the Pyrenees. The whole area is simply incredibly beautiful. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and learned a lot! 🌷🌺

I've just spent the past three months living in the south of France with adorable animals and the best host I could ask for ! Namua is the most caring and understanding person I have ever met. I've seen many people come and go during my stay, and she welcomes each one with the same open arms ! If you're looking for an eye opening experience to rediscover what life is really about or just slow down, the home is the perfect place for reflection and giving back rather than taking from our planet. Hope to see you soon Namua (and everyone else at AQFG) !

I had an amazing time while staying here. The work was not too hard and it were al kinds of different things. I enjoyed taking care of the animals and hugging with them. Meeting other volunteers was also a very big plus for me. Namua is a caring and very passionate sweet woman who made me feel very welcome. She provided amazing meals and learned me a lot more about dofferent insights on life. I would definitely recommend staying and working on this farm! :)

A beautiful, peaceful place. Experience a different way of nourishing yourself, explore a more environmentally friendly vision with Namua's wisdom. Being attentive is key for convenience, as Namua already has a structured routine. Remembering it will make the stay more pleasant for both of you. Take the opportunity to explore the surroundings: hiking trails, local events, and nearby beaches. Spend time with the dogs and the house guardians, and take care of the farm animals (especially Popeye). Disconnect and enjoy the experience. Namua, a wise and sensitive woman connected with nature.

I had a wonderful time at the home. The host Namua is the sweetest person and made me feel welcome and took good care of me. I learned a lot about sustainability and she cooked delicious vegan meals for us every single day. The tasks were enjoyable and we spent lots of time with her animals. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to learn more about the vegan life style and who wants to reconnect with nature. Thank you Namua for the wonderful time!

Very funny partners. Problems with the cleaning of spaces and health of the food.

Jose had no understanding of the terms vegan or organic. For someone who thought 'normal ' food comes in packets from a supermarket and toxic chemicals are essential for cleaning, it was a challenging experience.
Just a word of praise for the other volunteers at the time, far from being "funny' they showed a lot of tolerance towards someone who was really unable to understand what was required or to function without a lot of help.
By mutual agreement Jose left after a few days.

My time at Namuas will be a time I won't forget. Going through a month with vegan food alone changed my view on things and care that goes into cooking and feeding us volunteer's was almost always put forth with great care. Our body's were fed well, we worked hard too, and also replenished our souls with the river not far. If you are looking to be in nature, do some hiking near by or be immersed in a world that is connected together and not enjoyed separately. This is the place. You'll find yourself bonding with the animals and enjoying the outdoor by the pond!

The area and property are absolutely beautiful and you are able to go on a hike or to the beach. I met amazing volunteers and we made the best experiences together! Sadly the host did not seem to be interested in me or the others. I was not thought nor was I explained how to do the tasks. I had to learn by doing it which is why I had to redo things often. In addition tools are often broken or not good for the job so the work becomes less efficient. The tasks expected to finish are too many so some (especially cleaning) are done VERY superficial. If you have any more questions feel free to as

Sorry you felt like that Jette. To be fair she arrived at a very busy time with a lot of initial changes.
The Spring planting has now been done and things have calmed down a bit and we are catching up on other jobs and have time to settle down relax a bit more.
