The Experience

We are a couple who live amid nature and are open-minded. Our life project is to achieve self-sufficiency, and we manage a large garden to that end. We are looking for someone who can help us for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. The tasks will include preparing to plant, building a way by hand and tractor, renovating the house (painting, rebuilding, construction), cooking meals for us, and cleaning in general. You won't regret working wit

Their home is a little slice of paradise, with magnificent views to enjoy every day! the project and the project welcomed me warmly from day one. The room is spacious with your own toilet and privacy. I learned so much about herbs, harvesting, compost and good soil. The house and kitchen are super clean, and the food is SO delicious! My favourite moments were dinner times, sharing food and stories. They are a lovely, kind and supportive couple. Great train connections to Zurich, Bern and Lucerne too! Highly recommend, and I would love to come back! :)) ❤️

We had a wonderful experience staying with the project and the project during the hay harvesting. They were incredibly warm, welcoming and kind, and made us feel at home from the very beginning. We really enjoyed working alongside them, learning about their way of life, and sharing conversations and meals together. The whole experience was peaceful, meaningful and genuinely memorable. We're very grateful for the time we spent with them and would happily recommend the project and the project to anyone looking for a warm, authentic volunteering experience. ❤️

Our experience was really good & had a great time with the project and the project learning a lot, not only about gardening&farming but also about their culture, sustainability and love for nature. Some activities could take a little more time but they are always open to suggestions and especially to adapt the free time to compensate for it. One of the most important things was always their attitude of teaching, listening and sharing time to get to know each other better. It is not only about working but also about enjoying the time there and they really care about that. We recommend this volunteering!
