This was my first time volunteering with Worldpackers and I loved my time at the farm. I learned so much in just a month not just about chestnuts but also alot about sustanability. John and Linda are very kind, good listeners and invite you with open arms at the farm. Most of the work is outside. I was there during peak season so there was alot of the farm picking but I also got to peel, grade, feed the animals and make some of the products that Linda and John sells etc. I am very thankful that I got to volunteer at the farm. Thank you!

The farm is an absolutely wonderful place to stay! John and Linda are polite, generous and entertaining hosts. The work is outdoorsy and physical mostly (particularly during season) but on rainy days there are always indoor jobs, like peeling/grading chestnuts and cleaning. You will find a home away from home with full access to the kitchen, and lovely (sometimes chestnutty) home cooked meals every evening. The accomodation is basic but comfortable, and on your days off you can go into town/s to explore :) I can't thank you guys enough for the fulfilling month I spent with you!

Staying at the farm Brea Farm was my first volunteer job and I am extremely grateful for this wonderful experience. This is the place to be if you're looking for outdoor physical work. You will be immersed in the process from the farm to the numerous products that John and Linda sell on their farm. Flexibility on your part is expected on rainy days, especially during the harvest period. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and be immersed in nature, you've come to the right place!

My experience at the farm has been unmatched! John and Linda were such gracious hosts who included me in every activity possible, from excursions to local towns and fun climbs up Centennial Tree on my days off. John and Linda set very clear expectations as hosts which in turn made me feel very comfortable to work around the farm. Although my trip coincided with the off-season, I still managed a very busy schedule especially with the Nannup music festival which was amazing. Life at the farm was extremely beautiful and introspective, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The farm is in the middle of the nature, you are surrounded by wildlife which is amazng especially the birds .... It's far from everything so it's better to have a car. It's a farm so there is always something to do ! John and Linda are nice . We think it's better to be there when it's chesnuts harvest if you want to learn about Chestnuts . The farm is very peacefull !

The farm is it's own unique little world! John and Linda had other farm hands there to work and guide me, as they had volunteered there before, and everyone welcomed me with open arms! From the start John, Linda, and I had open communication about expectations, interests and concerns. Since it was off-season, I didn't da lot of the farm picking but there was still plenty to do! Animal care was daily (feeding, watering, collecting eggs). Other jobs included planting, weeding, and tree/ bush pruning, and watering. Bedroom/ toilet are basic and shared, and meals are in the main house!

Nicole is a lovely, open, friendly, funny, smart young woman, who made every task given a fun experience. The animals loved her and adopted her straight away, as did we.
Nicole has since been back a second time, and we look forward to her third stint at our farm in a few weeks. Can't wait. :)

My days in Chesnuts Farm were amazing. I enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The landscape is really awesome!!! I fell very welcome by Linda&Jhon. They are people that worth it to know, very interested as well. The job was good, I learned a lot of the chesnuts products and processes. I had the experience to live in a farm for the first time. I met also other backpackers. So I made friends in the place too. I enjoyed very tasty food and healthy as well. I feel very safety and protected with them. For me it was like a family here in Australia. They helped me a lot with everything.

Alex and I enjoyed our stay at the farm! We were there for a month and learned many different things about chestnuts and how to live a more sustainable life. Because it wasn't harvest time, we also got the chance to specialize other skills like making the farm products and working in retail. We enjoyed working in the small local shop and meeting new people every time! I would recommend to go during harvest time if you want to keep yourself really busy and meet travellers! We also loved to learn about John and Linda's adventures and pieces of their life. Good first experience!

Linda and John welcomed me very much. They are great hosts, always patient and willing to help and teach me. I felt like a part of the family. I learned a lot from this experience. I have greatly improved my English. I learned to deal with animals. I learned the process of making flour. And cooking them. My food was very good. I hope to come back one day to visit them and work again. The farm is a very special place. I am eternally grateful for the moments I spent in the farm.
