My stay with Liz was an amazing and unforgettable experience! From my arrival, she made me feel warmly welcomed and took the time to show me around her beautiful town in the heart of Switzerland. I felt the tasks were very fair and straightforward (mainly cleaning, laundry, cooking, and gardening), and I loved the flexibility I had during my “off” days to explore the Alps & surrounding cities with the other volunteers. Liz is the embodiment of sunshine, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with her and the other volunteers! I give this experience my highest recommendation.

Liz is the most amazing host! She has unmatched knowledge of the surrounding area and sustainability. She is very easy to talk to in English, Swiss-German, and Spanish as she is fluent in all 3. During my time at the farm, I contributed to small construction projects, DIY projects, gardening and much more. I learned about eco sustainability and improved my German! Liz only accepts the highest quality volunteers, as this is an extraordinary place to learn sustainability in an extraordinary setting. I highly recommend the farm to anyone who seeks high quality in their chosen host.

My stay at the farm was amazing! Liz is an great host that is very communicative, organized, and helpful. The volunteering itself is simple and straightforward and is located in a beautiful area in Switzerland. The time off is great since there are a lot of things to do in the area and Liz makes sure to give great advice on things to do and even offering to take the volunteers on some short trips to the Alps nearby. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing time in Switzerland.

We stayed for a month with Liz and had a great time! Liz is full of energy and was always suggesting things to do together or solo. The tasks were gardening and cleaning a few airbnbs, both not too difficult. Lots of delicious veggie foods to try and I enjoyed learning new recipes and preserving things in the kitchen in particular. Theres a lot to do in Interlaken and surrounds if you enjoy nature and hiking. We would love to return someday in summer or winter!
