The farm is a place, where you can learn about sustainability and nature. Heiko has an impressive knowledge about edible wild plants which later he uses in the kitchen too, creating delicious dinner! The stories I heard and experiences I had here made me realise some things about myself and the world. Although weather was usually miserable there, I had fun indoors, reading books from Heiko's library and playing with Finn and Tedd. The things which I did not like were worse than expected living conditions and the fact, that lunch was not provided, while it's stated differently in description.

Lunch IS provided, it's only that you help yourself to anything that is available and we had plenty of food in the house and garden, which you used plenty of. We are not in the habit of 2 or 3 cooked meals a day. As I said at the outset, you become part of the family with everything that entails. Living conditions are simple to live lightly on the planet and I would have appreciated you using the compost toilet. We are also not wealthy and it costs us a lot of money to host.

It wasn't quite what I expected but good none the less! I was able to learn about a way of living I'd never thought of and can appreciate what Heiko and Susan are contributing. Absolutely great people with a wealth of knowledge! If you enter with an open mind, you can learn a lot!

My experience with Haiko and Susan was really good they are a really lovely couple and really sweetheart both of them. Haiko has a lot of knowledge about permaculture and interesting life vision so is never boring talk with him. Also he has really good skills in cooking and you will never be disappointing in the dinner he makes. Also he has organic and handmade preparation and you can taste as a BlackBerry and Raspberrie jam , and beutiful eggs from the chicken in his garden. About the work it was really okay, and I didn't feel I was working too much . I recommend this experience

This was my first experience with worldpacker, and it was absolutely amazing. Heiko and Susan were wonderful. There wasn't too much work, and it varied a lot day to day. I had a comfortable room to myself. Heiko is an excellent cook, and so we always ate well. Everyday we took the dog somewhere for a walk, so I was able to see a lot of the surrounding area. It's very beautiful there. Heiko is extremely knowledgeable about the edible plants, and I learned a lot. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience.

I strongly recommend this place. Heiko and Susan are two wonderful people, full of vitality and knowledge about permaculture, willing to share with you as much as you want to learn. It was my 4th volunteering, so I know what Im talking when I say that this place is fantastic... the work is not so much, and they always adapted it to my abilities. Sharing time with them, the dog and the cat was wonderful. Thank you from for receiving me. It was super cool.

Heiko and Susan are absolutely lovely. I stayed in their farm for two weeks looking after the ducks, the chickens and Ted (he's a wonderful cat). The duties were really easy; feed the animals and water the plants. They were abroad during 12 days so I was on my own in the farm, but I spent the two first days with them. We shared interesting chats and tasty food. Heiko passed me on his knowledge about permaculture and he showed me what I had to do.

If you want to learn about foraging and permaculture, Heiko is definitely your guy! We foraged for seaweeds and other things on the shore, as well as in the forest. Heiko cooked really nice food every evening, often using foraged foods, and you get to enjoy free range eggs from their chickens and ducks. I felt very healthy, nourished, and sustainable whilst I lived there,and I have been inspired to take a permaculture course to learn further how to implement this way of life for myself in the future.

Absolutely recommend it. Heiko and Susan are really cute and nice people. They would instantly welcome you as one of them. The chores are easy and doesn't require any previous experience. Do as they tell you and take warm clothes. Lovely and nourish experience.

This volunteer experience was nice. Heiko and susan are kind people. And they have a lovely dog; Finn. Who is very playfull and will cuddle with you all the time. We had some good food in the evening, Heiko lives up to the other reviews, he is a good chef. Sleeping there was good as well, you will have your own private room. But just to give the next volunteer a heads up, the house is not very clean. And if you are not really someone who drinks a lot of alcohol, it can be a bit strange to see them drink a lot of beers everyday. But I did not feel uncomfortble there. Thank you for everything!
