The Experience

A small farm in a beautiful location! Our farm and home probably date back to pre 1660's, with many additions since. It has been left to go wild for the last 40 years. The river has otters, seals, beavers, salmon, sea trout, and sea bass. With buzzards and owls overhead. There are deer in the surrounding woodland. If you want to help and improve a sustainable way of life, come and help us with an open heart. All levels of help are needed.

What can I say about this great place that welcomed me and I was my home for two months, I met extraordinary people, and the work was varied, heavy some days and light others but I enjoyed it. So, don't hesitate to go; thanks for everything, Jhonatan, I hope to return someday.

It was my first volunteering experience, and it was truly incredible. The house is very cozy, the scenery is beautiful, and the tasks are quite simple.
The place is filled with art, which makes it feel even more welcoming. I was lucky enough to meet and spend time with amazing people; Johnatan is kind and patient with my very basic English, and I learned a lot of the language there.
Thank you so much for everything and for giving me the opportunity to leave a small mark of my own art.

This was my first volunteering, i stayed for 1 month and i didn't want lo leave. it was an amazing experience. the farm and it's surrounding are beautiful!! but it's a bit far away from the village so do you have to enjoy walks. i was so lucky with the volunteers that were at the same time as me because they were amazing and they made my time a good time. after work day we watched movies, we played board games, we went to the pub or just walked around. now i have friends all around the world. i miss the farm so much. thank you jonathan for making these events possible.

I highly recommend this volunteer experience; it was amazing, and Jonathan is a wonderful person! I'd actually love to go back and spend more time with the host and the other volunteers. Some tasks require more physical effort than others, but they are fun. I'd really like to thank Jonathan for the time we spent together.

Volunteering at the farm was such an incredible experience. At first, we were a little apprehensive, but the host made us feel super comfortable from the very beginning regarding the tasks, always making sure we were happy doing them. The place is beautiful, and we met people from five different nationalities. We made real friends there. It was an experience I will carry with me for life.
