My time at the project was wonderful! Work hours were flexible, and communication about our chores was very clear: I knew precisely what I had to do every day. the project is not the most touristy town you could visit, but it is easy to get from there to Luxembourg, Maastricht, and Bruxelles if you would like to travel. I would highly recommend going here if you want to learn about gardening, sustainability, and permaculture, and in general, just have a good, chill time :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I really enjoyed it! I learned a lot, stepped out of my comfort zone, and enjoyed the varied tasks. Katy and her family were lovely and welcoming. I enjoyed spending time with the kids and other volunteers! A few things to keep in mind: I knew I was coming to a farm, but I didn't expect insects and spiders in my bedroom. The dogs are also very affectionate and often around. I was looking forward to the permaculture course, but unfortunately, it wasn't available during my stay. Overall, it was a lovely experience I'm grateful for! 🤍

What can I say! Katy and her family were so wonderful from start to finish. The hospitality was great and I had such a lovely time at the farm. We ate lovely home cooked meals every evening, and spent the day doing different tasks around the farm such as planting garlic, painting, caring for the sheep, cutting weeds etc. The working hours were very flexible and we got to have lovely lie ins every day if we wanted! There are lots of lovely pets around like their two big dogs, who are very friendly! I would highly recommend, and if you can stay for a good few weeks, 2 wasn't enough! x

I had the most wonderful experience at this farm. Katy and her family were so welcoming and the volunteers that she chose were such a wonderful dynamic. Tasks were very clear and volunteers were treated with trust and respect to complete them as needed. We learned so much about taking care of animals and permaculture methods in the garden (like no-dig). Katy is so very intelligent and shared her knowledge when she could, which was just fascinating. In our free time we could explore the nearby town and Luxembourg is very close by. I loved my experience so much and hope to return someday!!

My experience with Katy and her family was amazing. Initially I was only supposed to stay a week but ended up staying 3 weeks. The accomdation was cosy, the meals were very tasty, and I enjoyed every second of being at the project mont. I definitely plan to visit again.
