Thank you beautiful family for welcoming me like this in your peaceful property. I really enjoyed to help you with the apples and the different tasks: picking, cutting, making chips, jelly, labeling the products and more, I didn't have enough time, so have to come back soon :)
You gave free time to explore by bike, walk, it was sometimes difficult for me to take it as I saw you working a lot in the farm in this busy time! You were really careful to be sure I felt good in the room, the work and the meals. Thanks a lot, it was so inspiring to see and taste Beatrice's cooker talents!..

It was a wonderful experience at the farm with Mihkel, Beatrice, and their lovely kids. You're going to love Beatrice's meals, the conversations with Mihkel, and spending time playing with the children. I definitely recommend this experience. They will do everything they can to make your stay the best possible, offering great recommendations for beautiful places to visit near the farm. Communication is clear, the tasks are varied, and the working hours were exactly as agreed. You'll learn a lot about life on an organic the farm and enjoy being part of a welcoming family environment.

I had a great first Worldpackers experience here with Mihkel, Beatrice and their kids! They tried hard to make the work varied and were happy to explain tasks as much as needed. Beatrice is a very proficient cook and their house is lovely. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone seeking to gain organic production knowledge, interested in understanding the area and its locals or just looking for a unique experience!

We were so lucky to get to spend three weeks on this beautiful the farm. The Quebec countryside was breathtaking and a real escape from the city. Our daily tasks left us tired but accomplished, we learned lots of new skills and Beatrice's wonderful cooking and great conversation felt like a reward.

I had the best time at the farm. The host Bea is amazing, she's happy to learn you all about the making of the products which they sell from the appels and tomatoes and she even took the time to learn us how to make your own bread. I learned so much! It's a dream come true for people who love working with their hands and like nature. The property is a real forest where you can merge with nature and go for a walk with the dogs who are so sweet. I couldn't recommend it more, I will have some long lasting nice memories about this place :)

The farm experience was amazing! Mihkel and Beatrice make you feel really welcome like you are part of the family. They were really kind and helpful, they offered us a lot of information about the local towns, things to do around, and the culture of the country. We learned a lot from the farm work, sustentabilty, the importance of organic produce and farmlife. This was a really beautiful place to connect with nature, do some hiking in the woods and have beautiful activities and conversations with the family. We recommend this experience 100%!

The time on the apple ochard was wonderful. I immediately felt welcome and was able to have great conversations with Mihkel and Beatrice. You feel like part of the family on the project and I really enjoyed the time there. This family will always have a place in my heart and I already miss them. They always tried to make me feel comfortable, for which I am incredibly grateful, and also the other Worldpackers made the two weeks an unforgettable time, thank you for everything! I Hope we will see us again☺️🫶🏻

The stay is fine, the food and the room meets the objective, the activities in the free schedule consists of going to the 2 nearby towns, the amount of working hours are fulfilled. The good thing was to be in some social gatherings in town and see the local activities, The low point is that the family is not flexible, you have to coordinate activities in advance because they do not move their calendar.

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the food, accommodations, and local social gatherings. We try our best to balance our farm responsibilities with volunteer activities, which is why we need to coordinate plans in advance.

From the moment you arrived, we asked about your departure plans to ensure everything would go smoothly. Unfortunately, we found out you changed your departure date after you had already bought your plane tickets and without checking if we could accommodate that day.

In this rural area, there is no public transportation to the airport. We are happy to be flexible with your departure date but we would have preferred you validate our availability to drive you before you booked your ticket.

We appreciate your observations and will use them to improve. Best of luck in your future endeavors
