It was a great pleasure to contribute to Martin and Vanessa over the past two weeks! Martin is fun and patient, always in good spirits to do the tasks with us, which were easy to learn. On my last day, it wasn't part of the tasks, Vanessa kindly taught me how to use a Spinning Wheel, an activity she Masters- It was a good surprise to have this opportunity! They are such amazing couple and I learned a lot about preparing and cultivating the land, as well as learning about electromagnetism and the power of nature.

My time here was amazing. It was possible to be involved in various key activities on the farm, such as taking care of the animals and preparing the soil for planting and sowing. Martin really knows how to improve the land to make the most of it. He was always involved in the activities with us, teaching us, and he has all the necessary tools and equipment that we used in these activities. He also gave us a real workshop on energy and electromagnetism. Vanessa is a true chef, you will be fascinated with her dishes. I really recommend this experience! Thanks again Martin and Vanessa!

I had a lot of fun helping out Martin and Vanessa on the farm. We did a lot of gardening and did as many tasks around the farm and weather allowed. I also enjoyed exploring the area and running around the country side on my time off!

I can't be more thankful with the hospitality of Martin and Vanessa, they make you feel at home. I appreciate all the beautiful experiences with them. The tasks where really easy. Martin help you in many different ways and always being open to clarify doubts. Vanessa cooks perfectly. And they have a nice and warmth talk with you. The place it's beautiful you're able to feel peace in here and enjoy all the nature and good vibe in the place. Was my second experience as volunteer and I would surely recommend it. I'll be missing them. Thank you both.

I had the most incredible experience at this garden! The warmth and hospitality from Martin and Vanessa were beyond compare. The way they've organized the place is truly impressive, all geometrically thought out. I never felt lacking anything. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to learn so much here. I can't miss mentioning Paddy and Inca who are the most adorable dogs in Bretagne. This visit will always hold a special place in my heart, and every moment was an absolute pleasure. Many thanks to you.

I don't have words that are fair to describe how good our first experience as volunteers was. We take a lot of learning about self-sustainability but above all we take great moments shared with Martin and Vanessa. Working with Martin was very enjoyable. He was flexible when we needed some time to do another activity, very patient to explain each of our queries. Vanessa was always attentive to our needs and each meal that she prepared was even better than the last. It also helped us a lot to practice our English, which was somewhat rusty. We will miss them. !

Vanessa and Martin are two amazing human beings. Living with them was very easy, they are lovely and super fun people. We learned a lot about permaculture, self-sustaining living and MAGIC. We enjoyed delicious food made by Vanessa and great stories told by Martin. It was our first volunteer experience and we couldn't have picked a better one. We are very grateful to them for letting us into their home and life and we will surely miss them. We hope we have been useful and that you have enjoyed a little of our "Matecito" Thanks for everything! Juan & Maylén.

Vanessa and martin, the sweetest people you'll ever meet!. When you work (wich is not heavy and hard work by the way) you will always be laughing and sharing thoughs and life stories with martin. You will learn a lot about how to take care of the plants, seeds, also the benefits of herbs and all types of fruits and vegetables that they have and so much more. It's a nice place to be away from big crowded cities and spend time next to a lot of nature, animals, and there is a lake 10 minutes biking. You will have a good time like i did, this was my first time volunteering and it was a great!:)

The project is a perfect place to spend time in the heart of Brittany's countryside learning about farming, gardening and how to play with two lovely dogs. You couldn't ask for better hosts. The food is fantastic, the work is never more than an hour here and there, and the house is a home away from home. If you enjoy being in nature, morning coffees and exercising your green fingers, this is the place for you. Thank you to Martin and Vanessa for a wonderful time!
