The farm is a beautiful place and the work was fair and the hours were reasonable. However, there were a few issues related to living conditions; we stayed in the camper van where the bathroom and sink were not functional. There were many restrictions on bathroom and kitchen usage in the main house. Also close to no mobile coverage/ Wi-Fi. We believe these should have been properly communicated prior to our arrival.

Hello Bryan, I thank you for letting me know via this review the things that I can change for other worldpacker to enjoy their stay.

I take all of our travelers confort very seriously. That is one the the reason I insist to have a visio call prior to accepting any candidate so I can explain various things. Amoung those : the use of the camper and the use of the house.
In you case, you did not show up for the visio call. Maybe information was not transmitted ?

As for internet. I do belive It depends on your device performance. Even If we now have fiber and that I run my bussiness with the internet we have, I find It important to mention on my profile that we have basic internet. After all, we do live in the country side and internet coverage is not like in the cities.

But I understand that some time goes by in between the visio and the actual stay.
Therefor, after your comments and your stay with Teresa, I adjusted my profile by adding these element :

1. No drug and alcool use during working hour. Do has you wish in your free time.

2. House curfew since I wake up extremely early. No curfew for the rest of the premesis. You do has you wish, just not in the house after permitted hours.

3. No access to runing water in the camper : will need to use the backhouse and house for toilet use and showering

4. Please respect working schedule

5. Leave the camper as clean as it was unpon your arrival

I now belive that theses are important reminders for anyone that I will be hosting in the future.

I have had such a good experience with Nathalie and her family. It is a nice and warm family. Working was fun and I learned a lot about working in the kitchen and keeping the bees. I worked together with Katy and Nathalie in the kitchen. They are both very nice and willing to help with anything. The working hours were a bit different, because of a big event. But this was as agreed between me and Nathalie. Around the house is not much to do because there is no city around the corner. If you are okay with having some time to yourself and reading a good book, you will be fine!

The stay was a great escape from city hustle and bustle. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a slow paced country get-away who would be interested in learning more about bee keeping and gardening. It was pretty awesome being able to see the entire process of how the honey is harvested and extracted ready to eat! The facilities were great, exactly as expected though maybe bring a deck of cards or a boardgame for those days off as while the nearest town is lovely, its rather small and you'll need a car or bike if you wish to explore further away towns or try other activities.

Our stay with Nathalie was very pleasant! We learnt a lot about beekeeping and the process of producing honey. The hours were longer than expected (approx 35hrs), but the work was as advertised and we learnt a lot. Unfortunately, the bikes were out of order during our stay so on days off we weren't able to go very far, but when the weathers nice you can go swimming in the river nearby or hang around outside. Otherwise if you were wanting to go explore nearby towns it would be better to had a car.
