The Experience
We are a family "living the dream" and have a permaculture farm in the South of France. We are renovating our old stone house as well so there is a To Do List longer than we can cope with! We need people keen to help in our adventure. Currently our priority is sowing seeds, making new veg beds but also fixing the leak in the pool and putting new shutters on the house. So it will mostly be farm work, but we may throw a curve ball in there!

This experience was so amazing and I enjoyed it so much! I learned so much about farming and animal care and it was cool to see at the end of my time all the physical progress that had been done. Rachel and Philip were so kind and same with their 2 kids. Only positive things can be said.

This experience was as excellent as advertised. Rachel and Phillip welcomed me with open arms and taught me about permaculture while guiding me through attainable tasks. Both are fantastic teachers and have a lot to share. All of the living spaces for volunteers are very nice and have suitable amenities. The food they make is excellent, much of it being farm fresh. The location of their house is perfect for exploring South France with beautiful nature and small towns. I enjoyed my time and would highly recommend!

It was a super nice experience. I felt very welcome and confortable at every moment. About conditions I had my own room and bathroom, meals were healthy, delicious and on time every day. Regarding to work it can be hard sometimes but Philip organizes schedules in a way that you have more relaxing days in between, and you have fair breaks. I liked that they teach you the tasks and then you are free to do them at your own pace, no pressure at all. It is also nice that they include you in family activities and are open to talking and giving information about the surroundings. Thank you very much!

Our time here was absolutely wonderful! Rachel and Phillip were great hosts. The property is beautiful and the room where we stayed was very comfortable. Our responsibilities were clearly communicated and outlined. From the beginning, they explained the kinds of tasks that we would likely be doing and the schedule that we would follow (which they always respected). This allowed us to easily explore some of the nearby towns. I learned A LOT about permaculture! Both of them were very excited to share their knowledge about this practice. I am very thankful for the time we got to spend here!
