The Experience

Please be aware we only accept couples or 2 friends. We have a no-dig vegetable garden. Started a new orchard. Need to renovate an old orchard. Clear land, rebuild a polytunnel and a greenhouse. House cleaning required weekly. Inside we are converting & upgrading the living spaces. Do you have DIY skills? We can teach you what we know & so you can learn with us. We have plenty of decorating to do.

I had an awesome time at Sarah's. I was welcomed as part of the family and they always made sure we had everything we needed. I learned a lot about sustainability and gardening. We always had fun in the kitchen, trying out new recipes and exchanging ideas. Our accommodation exceeded my expectations. Our work was always fun and not too difficult or exhausting.

We had a perfect first worldpackers experience with our hosts Sarah and Andrew. They welcomed us into their home as if it really was ours. We had so much fun doing our daily tasks as well as preparing meals together in the kitchen. Us being vegan was no problem at all and we tried loads of new recipes. We learned a lot about working in the garden, as well as how to maintain a sustainable lifestyle. Sarah and Andrew also shared their knowledge of our surroundings with us and told us what places were worth visiting. We really recommend staying with them if you're looking for a fulfilling time.

I had an amazing time during our stay with Sarah and Andrew. They were very accommodating and gave us a great living space. The work wasn't too hard and we learned a lot of new skills and met great people. They live in a beautiful area with many opportunities for weekend trips and nice bike riding! Thank you Sarah!

We had the most amazing couple of weeks staying with the Sarah and Andrew! They were very accommodating, gave great recommendations and rides for our days off, and introduced us to many great people! We had fun during our working hours and learned many new skills working outside. We cooked delicious meals together everyday fresh from the garden! Sarah and Andrew really made us feel at home from the start. It was the perfect first Worldpackers experience for us, and we hope to come back and visit!

I don't have enough words to describe how lovely it was to be with Sarah and Andrew. They are really gentle and easy to talk, so you're always having wonderful conversations. Besides, the work was great and the food too. I must highlight that they are quite concious about nutrition, so their meals are really healthy and, above all, delicious (i'll miss those cheeses). Also, they are flexible on your free-time plans, so you can visit the many fantastic places around Levignac-de-Guyeme. Everything was perfect. I will always remember this experience and this couple with his lovely cat.
