College Farm

I live in the middle of Wales in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Its very green, very peaceful and just a nice place to be. There is a large garden and veg patch, surrounded by hills and mountains. I keep chickens and have a pet Sheep called Haggis : ).

I like to grow as much food as possible and spend as much time as possible outside. I like to hike in the mountains that surround us and also spend a lot of time cycling and climbing. I love sharing Wales with guests so you would be welcome to join me and my friends cycling, hiking and climbing.

I have absolutely loved all of Wales and Talgarth is such a cute gem.
Matty is a wonderful host and made me feel safe and at home from the first day. Both his house and his farm are stunning: surrounded by hills and woods, I felt at peace, free.
He's also been very patient with all my questions ahah: even though I was born and raised in the countryside I feel like I've learned more from my time here than at home.
You'll get used to the physical work pretty soon and after a while I've grown so fond of the animals and plants that it didn't even feel like work anymore!

My volunteering with Matty was great. The place is really calm and relaxing, perfect to unwind. Matty is super friendly and welcoming, you quickly feel at home. I went on some amazing walks thanks to his tips, and the scenery was beautiful. Honestly, I had a great time. Thanks again, Matty!

I am so grateful for my experience at the College Farm and couldn’t recommend it enough. It is a very special place, a beautiful house surrounded by incredible nature and lots of history. Matty is just a great host and person, very interesting to talk to with a great sense of humour. I really enjoyed working in the garden, I learnt a lot about sustainability and growing food etc. Plus there are chickens and sheep to play with which is a huge plus! If you want to slow down and get in touch with nature this would be perfect for you. Thank you Matty ☺️

I deeply treasure the experience I had at Collage Farm!
Matty is amazing respectful, kind, honest, and easygoing.
He is always willing to help you learn 🫀
During my stay, I learned a lot about sustainability. It helped me become more aware of the food I eat and how to take care of my body and mind.
The site is a bit far from the nearest town (Brecon), but if you’re looking for a quiet place to connect with nature, this is the right spot!
Thank you, Matty, for trusting me and turning this experience into a beautiful memory.

I highly recommend volunteering here if you love nature, hiking/outdoorsy stuff, and aren’t afraid to get your hands a little dirty. Matty is an amazing host who cares about his volunteers and makes sure that you are comfortable (and well fed!). The work was physical but very rewarding and I loved being outside in the garden everyday. Haggis (his sheep) was very talkative and kept me company in the garden too haha.

Overall, my stay here was incredible and I’ll miss College Farm very much. Definitely a 10/10 experience. 😌
