The Experience

The farm is a mixed livestock hill farm, we have sheep, cows and a few pigs. This is very much a new project so there's a lot of work underway converting infrastructure and putting new projects together with holistic regenerative systems in mind. Daily tasks vary greatly on the season and the weather. Livestock work could include moving the sheep and cows onto the next paddock, or feeding the pigs. Every day is different.

This was my second time at the farm and I can't recommend enough! The place is beautiful, the hosts are incredible, the work is fair and easygoing, and the working hours are very well respected. After volunteering in more than 8 projects with worldpackers I can say easily that this is the one that has the best food! From fresh meat from the farm to home grown vegetables and high quality organic products from the supermarket, it's always one delicious meal after another! If you want to experience a true welsh farm and learn a lot of new things, this is the place! Thanks Owain and Wanda!

Owain is a kind man that will give you a warm welcome to the farm. I enjoyed learning beside him on various projects and tasks. I helped with a new fence build, herding sheep, planting trees and general livestock chores during my winter stay. Owain has a focus on improving the farm in various ways. I recommend this project if want to contribute to interesting projects, learn welsh, or act as a farmhand in a low-stress environment. Thank you, Owain!

Owain is a very kind, fun and generous person. He was always open to discuss volunteer time and tasks, allowing me to feel like I had given something back for my enjoyable stay. I even got to meet a couple of his friends who were super friendly and fun. Volunteer hours are well respected, and I was able to learn about livestock, regenerative farming, painting and fencing. The farm is set in beautiful green landscapes that I will definitely miss. I hope to have the opportunity to return to the farm, see its progress, and learn a little more Welsh. Diolch, amigo!

I had an amazing experience at the farm! Owain, the host, is a very welcoming and experienced man, we'd a lot of nice talks about travels and life The work is very rewarding and we would do somenthing different every day, such as moving sheeps through fields, painting, gardening, cooking, house holding and more. The hours were well respected! He also taught me a lot about regenerative farming, how to deal with livestock, and even how to drive a tractor! We did barbecue at the beautiful lake nearby and went hiking at a nice valley with waterfalls I definitely recommend this project!

Ma copine et moi avons passé deux merveilleuses semaines à la ferme. Les tâches sont très variées. Nous avons appris beaucoup de choses notamment sur l'élevage des moutons et des bovins. Les paysages sont magnifiques et nos hôtes nous ont emmené au bord d'un lac pour se baigner ainsi qu'en randonnée. Nous avons pû déguster d'excellents repas preparés par tout le monde grâce à un système de roulement. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir et sans hésiter. Encore merci à Owain et Wanda de nous avoir accueilli.
