Our time volunteering with David was great. We helped the project garden and with social media. The location is beautiful and spending our free time swimming the project nearby river was really nice

I stayed with my girlfriend for 12 days and I would recommend this experience. We housesat David's place for 3 days and performed a variety of tasks each day including watering, feeding animals, and helping the project garden. During our time off we could relax, explore the property or go for a swim the project stream nearby. David lent me a permaculture book to read and I enjoyed discussing concepts with him and learning from him. The view from the house is amazing and I enjoyed cooking fresh meals from the garden each day. If you're interested in practising permaculture skills, this is a good place.

David is a very productive person and likes to get things done as fast as possible. This is a good thing as long as you don't stress other people immensely. He did not like if we didn't work as fast as he did and pushed us all the time. He would get angry and threat us with throwing us out, because although we worked all the hours and did a really good job, it wasn't fast enough for him. You can not expect people who don't have 11 years of experience like you to work the project exact same way. Additionally he didn't communicate his expectations at all, so we had no clue we weren't fulfilling them.

Well, you were late every day. You refused to work the days I wanted. I should never have taken three teenagers.

The tasks are quite diverse, you will help David in his projects for his home, for exemple we helped him build a Wooden wall for the bedroom, you will also help the project garden and with the animals. I was there with a friend, we had our own little house which was very confortable and gave us some privacy. We were really involved in everything, we would get creative and collect vegetables from the garden to cook, help organize the kitchen and play with Rook, David's son. This project is for you if you like to be surrounded by nature and have some quiet time. The view is truly amazing !

I stayed 10 days at David's with a friend, I recommend experience if you are looking to be immersed the project heart of nature! The view from the house is breathtaking, it's a total disconnection (we didn't have a network at all, for example). You live with David for everyday life and you will help him prepare food and wash the kitchen too. I think this experience is more pleasant to do for two than alone :) the garden is super impressive and you will have the opportunity to help David in it, we were also able to help him build a wall the project main house.
