The Experience

It's pretty flexible here. There're a lot of tasks that can be done at any time by individuals and other times when it's great to have a group of people helping on a single endeavor. Some of the things that you might do are harvesting, planting, gardening, brewing and spraying compost tea, mulching, pruning, forestry, farmers markets, running the stand, beekeeping, scarecrows, gathering data, irrigation, mowing, fertilizing, and making biochar.

Martin and his family are really nice! They will always make sure you're having a good time (working and also during your free time). I can't express how thankful I am for all that I learned with the kids. It was one of the reasons why I've decided to go to Ohio, and I wasn't wrong. Thank you Louis, Ben and Roger for everything. Thank you, Martin! Next time I'll make sure I practice some of the American jokes… see you soon, guys!

I loved this place. The farm is beautiful and very peaceful. If you like being outdoors, I would definitely recommend this experience. Martin is very welcoming and open to teach everyone about the farming work that he does which is amazing. Every day he would make a list of things that need to be done and there were always options that anyone can enjoy. It was a great opportunity to share with others, learn, enjoy and get creative.

It was a wonderful experience! Everyone here worked really well together and made space for friendships, growth, and laughter while staying here, dinner gatherings, campfires with some nice tunes, all the chestnuts you can eat, (so yummy) Being outside in nature with the trees, insects, and everything that makes it alive, watching how it all works together and being a part of that was lovely. I'd recommend this place to anyone!!

This the farm/the farm is a good introduction if you'd like to learn about seasonal the farm and the farm production. There are a few things that may need to be clarified and talked with the host Martin upon arrival. I would recommend this farm for couples. Bear in mind, cleaning needs to be done regarding your accomodation/kitchen upon arrival. There are 3 kids and 2 dogs living at the house in the property. Volunteers stay at the barn in different campers or the 1 rustic room upstairs the barn. Communication and transparency could have been better. Best sunrise/sunsets & BLUEBERRIES

Esta fue mi primera vez en un voluntariado y la verdad fue una experiencia muy linda, Martin es una persona que de verdad se va a preocupar por hacerte sentir bien y cómodo en todo momento, además de ser muy paciente para mostrarnos los trabajos y explicar cuando no entendiamos el inglés. En mi tiempo en la granja aún no era época de blueberries por lo que trabaje en el campo, en los la granja trees y plantando árboles, los trabajos no son complicados y las horas son muy flexibles, tendrás tiempo suficiente para dibujar, meditar o hacer cualquier otra cosa que te guste, super recomendable!
