I had a lovely time at the farm luisant, and was honestly very sad to leave (I actually ended up extending my stay by a week because I fell in love with the place and lifestyle). The work is simple and hours are respected. Volunteers cook their own food together, and there are ingredients for basically any vegan/vegetarian dish one can think of! The farm itself is comfortable, and the surroundings are beautiful. Thank you Carole!! <3

Carole and everybody at the house were really friendly. Since the moment we arrived, we met and shared with the other volunteers. We did various tasks on the farm, so we were able to learn something new every day. The food was always very healthy, with lots of vegetables—it's a very healthy and unique lifestyle. Thank you, Carole, for the opportunity. See you next time! Tiago Saludes the farm petit poisson

Really cool way to learn about farming and be in nature. The work can definitely be hard. There are a lot of mold issues throughout the main apartment as well as in the caravans. The people I met were amazing and I think that will effect the experience a lot, because there are a lot of extra tasks here and you are required to cook lunch and clean for everyone on the farm - usually 2-3 hours extra work not included in the 25 hours. Carole is great, her mission is so cool, the house just needs the mold removed and more clarity about the hours! 5 people left early during my stay.

Sorry, Taliver but i really don't agree about the moisisture in the house. It's a new house made of wood and straw. when the team don't remove the hairs in the shower hole like i advice, water go out of the shower, and then it dry, and there is no moisisture left. we also had a pb once one year ago with our shower upstairs and it let on the wood and the paint some sign, but completley dry. so no pb of moisiture. in the caravan, the same, we had pb of rain coming in, so we had a roof over each.

We had a good time at the farm.
The tasks were easy (planting, harvasting, but specially weeding).
Working time was from 7am to 12pm, not flexible.
My partner and I were working online while we were there, the Wi-Fi is reliable and there are a few secluded places to work in the house.

I really enjoyed my time at the farm. The tasks were varied and never too challenging. The food was always great and we had a lot of fun with the other volunteers. I personally wish I could of learned more from the host but I understand how busy she was and maybe some language barrier issues. I think with a slight improvement with communication (From both workers and volunteers) the experience could be ever better for everyone involved 🙂

Carole and her family were lovely and very considerate.
The work itself wasn't hard, and hours were respected.
It's very cold in the farm in winter, so it's important to come ready with enough layers.
The farm is kind of secluded, it's not easy to get out of. I spend the two weeks in the farm, which was not a bad thing, just something to note if you're planning on doing day trips.
The only bad thing I have to say is that we didn't have many food options, we would get the leftovers vegetables from the market, this time of year it was only onions, carrots and cabbage, so we had to be creative.

I really did enjoy my time on Carole's farm. It's a beautiful area with so much to do dispite being rural. Carole is a super kind person. She's great at teaching you everything you might need to know about the work and the expectations. I felt instantly comfortable and welcomed as there are a lot of opportunities to make connections with Carole the other volunteers. I learnt a lot about gardening and cooking organically, and I made so many new experiences everyday. Thank you Carole!!

My partner Caden and I stayed at Carole's farm for 4 weeks, and it was wonderful! We didn't know what to expect at first, but Carole really makes it a wonderful experience for everyone. If you're looking for an experience that will introduce you to new people, new ways of living and new skills, this is the PERFECT opportunity! Carole is super flexible and kind, meets your needs and encourages exploration of the local village, nature and also nearby Sarrebourg. The work can be difficult, but it's as you'd expect for a farm. We would recommend this to any traveler, new or experienced!

I am very grateful for my experience at the farm. The environment was welcoming and collaborative, with everyone helping out when needed to finish tasks. I had the opportunity to da variety of jobs and learned a lot about the daily operation of the farm as well as organic agriculture! Each day we cooked together as a team using crops that aren't to be sold which was a super cool exercise in creativity as we tried to make sure nothing went to waste. I would definitely recommend this to others!

It was a fantastic experience. I enjoyed working in the farm, preparing together the lunch with good food, meeting new volunteers from different parts of the world and sharing time there. Carole is a really amazing person, the place is surrounded by fields and there are villages that you can reach well by walk. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get in touch with nature and now more about farming! Thank you!
