The experience was really nice! Phillip and Rachel are great. I could tell how passionate they really are about permaculture and sustainable living, they taught me quite a lot! The room was very nice, the food was excellent and they respected everything with regards to the work. Thank you so much Rachel and Phillip! <3

Our time here was absolutely wonderful! Rachel and Phillip were great hosts. The property is beautiful and the room where we stayed was very comfortable. Our responsibilities were clearly communicated and outlined. From the beginning, they explained the kinds of tasks that we would likely be doing and the schedule that we would follow (which they always respected). This allowed us to easily explore some of the nearby towns. I learned A LOT about permaculture! Both of them were very excited to share their knowledge about this practice. I am very thankful for the time we got to spend here!

With this experience, you can expect to learn much about sustainable agriculture on a work-in-progress smallholding, run by an incredibly kind family. Their home is comfortable and inviting, though this might not be the place for you if you don't do well with loud dogs. The property is absolutely gorgeous, with access to alluring nearby towns in Provence. The work is engaging, rewarding, and varying, with plenty of time for eating, rest, and afternoon off-time. The wonderful conversations over the dinner table were some of my favorite moments. I absolutely recommend this stay!

I had a great time while staying at the Mas de the project farm! Phil & Rachel are a loving couple, very easygoing, kind and open to discuss. Their story is very inspiring. Tired with living the city life, they decided to pursue their dreams and build a farm in the nature. The whole place looks as if you are living in a fairytale and the respect to the nature that Phil & Rachel are showing is admirable. They have 2 dogs, Lola & Simba which are super friendly (although they bark a lot 🤣). Phil is a great teacher , you will have the opportunity to learn a lot while working with him.
