The work at the farm was enjoyable and we learned lots about organic farming. Luc and Martine are very honest and kind people who are very passionate about their farm and sustainability. Luc's dedication to his work is inspirational. We settled into the routines after a few days and felt like we knew what work needed to be done, which was always reasonable. We would recommend volunteering here if you have a passion for organic farming, as although the work is very enjoyable, the rest of the day can not always be filled due to the location of the farm and lack of other volunteers.

Isobel et Caelan étaient d'agréable compagnie et volontaires pour aider, mais hélas, ayant besoin de plus de vie sociale et ne disposant pas de véhicule, ils ne sont pas restés suffisamment de temps pour approfondir leur compréhension du maraîchage biologique, de la vie sur une ferme, pour des échanges plus enrichissants et de belles excursions... Ceci dit, si ils éprouvaient à nouveau l'envie de revenir, nous serions heureux de les accueillir à nouveau...

Was a super hard but very rewarding experience. Pros: the hosts are some of the wisest people I've met and are very open minded and truly care. They respect your time and are very helpful. Cons/ things to check: check what kind of work u will be doing for the season because it will change, I would just ask them. Also check what facilities are available. It's hard on your body and tiring so keep that in mind. Overall, if you want to work on a farm in a pretty but very remote area (hard to get to supermarkets or any town), and work hard everyday, it is incredibly rewarding and enjoyable!

Thank you Toni for your truthful and positive appreciation and thank you to the three of you for giving your best in helping in the garden. I am sorry but I would feel dishonnest not to say that we would have appreciated sharing meals with you more often, as well as not saying, we've been quite shocked and disappointed to be left with all the cleaning of the bedroom, toilets and bathroom that you used... He made us think we had been considered as a bed and breakfast which we aren't at all..

Pendant mon séjour j'ai appris une quantité énorme de choses, l'expérience a été vraiment enrichissante. Luc et Martine préservent la connaissance , le savoir-faire et les traditions de nos ancêtres, c'est incroyable. Ils sont adorables, respectueux et afectueux. Les tâches te permettent de plus valoriser le travail qui se trouve derrière nos légumes.

Aitzi est une perle : elle ne compte ni ses efforts, ni son temps et de plus elle est curieuse de découvrir et enjouée, que ce soit envers le maraîchage bio ou la découverte des environs... nous serions, bien sûr, très heureux de l'accueillir à nouveau, si elle le souhaite, et pour la durée qui lui convient...

Mi estancia en la granja me enseño mucho sobre el cultivo de vegetales, Luc me enseño tecnicas muy eficientes . El esfuerzo y constancia de Luc me inspiraron a aprender lo mas rapido que puede e inspiraron a ser cada vez mas eficiente. Quien quien quiera superarse y aprender de produccion de cultivos organicos, este es su lugar. Martine es sumamente calida y siempre estuvo al pendiente de mi. Son una pareja muy trabajadora y te hacen sentir como en casa, te dicen claramente como funciona las cosas en cocina y en general, la habitacion es muy confortable y quisiera regresar algun dia.

Nous avons tous les 2 beaucoup apprécié la personnalité de Claudia et son aide au jardin. Nous avons été surpris d'apprendre que, au Mexique, elle exerçait un métier pas du tout ordinaire : celui d'éleveuse de papillons pour égayer les moments importants de la vie : mariages, baptèmes anniversaires... Nous espérons beaucoup la revoir et l'accueillir à nouveau, d'autant que sa fille s'est installée en région parisienne...
