I spent a month at the farm and honestly, it was a really good experience! Yann and all the other volunteers were super nice, and the work was pretty easy too. The working hours were always respected, so everything was well organised. The landscapes around the farm are also absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend it to anyone

Accommodation was great, host super friendly, and hot meals every night. Work is a little repetitive but cool to learn something new.

The work is on a farm which can be very physically demanding at times. My goal was to learn about farm life and work outdoors and this experience met all of my expectations. Jan was a great host. However, he was very busy with his own work on the farm so we rarely got to work with him personally. Regardless of how busy he was, he cooked us very good meals at the end of every work day. There was plenty of food for us to eat and we were welcome to help ourselves to anything.
The accommodations were outstanding. It was like staying at a nice airbnb

It was a really nice experience. It was my first volunteering so I had some doubts or nerves, but I'm happy I came. The working hours are exactly as described. During my time, I did different activities:: cider bottling, removing branches from the floor, adding calcium and fertilizer, labeling, transplanting trees, and more (farm work).
Also, the cats are part of the experience 💙😺.
Finally, I had a really good time with the other volunteers with I shared this experience.
I’ll never forget this month and all the people I met!❤️
I hope I will have more experiences like this in the future! 🍀

So it was my first volunteer experience ever, and it was amazing ! I stayed 4 weeks, I cleaned the branches, spread fertilizer and calcium, fed the animals, bottled, labled, cleaned bottles, planted trees and picked dead trees. if you don't mind a little elevation and you like all kind of weather you will love it ! Plus the view is stunning (all the time) ! I also spent hours fishing (caught two fish !) and hiking of course ! Jan is an excellent cook and a lovely person who will make you feel at home ! As a women who is traveling alone, I rarely felt as safe as I did here :) thank you Jan !
