As well as the tasks at home you will have the opportunity to help out at local markets and participate in community activities.

About the experience in: Pyrénées-Orientales, France
Belgium
I’ve just spent the past three months living in the south of France with adorable animals and the best host I could ask for ! Namua is the most caring and understanding person I have ever met. I’ve seen many people come and go during my stay, and she welcomes each one with the same open arms ! If you’re looking for an eye opening experience to rediscover what life is really about or just slow down, Mas Al Quinta is the perfect place for reflection and giving back rather than taking from our planet. Hope to see you soon Namua (and everyone else at AQFG) !

I had an amazing time while staying here. The work was not too hard and it were al kinds of different things. I enjoyed taking care of the animals and hugging with them. Meeting other volunteers was also a very big plus for me. Namua is a caring and very passionate sweet woman who made me feel very welcome. She provided amazing meals and learned me a lot more about dofferent insights on life. I would definitely recommend staying and working on this farm! :)

Very funny partners. Problems with the cleaning of spaces and health of the food.

Jose had no understanding of the terms vegan or organic. For someone who thought 'normal ' food comes in packets from a supermarket and toxic chemicals are essential for cleaning, it was a challenging experience.
Just a word of praise for the other volunteers at the time, far from being "funny' they showed a lot of tolerance towards someone who was really unable to understand what was required or to function without a lot of help.
By mutual agreement Jose left after a few days.

A beautiful, peaceful place. Experience a different way of nourishing yourself, explore a more environmentally friendly vision with Namua's wisdom. Being attentive is key for convenience, as Namua already has a structured routine. Remembering it will make the stay more pleasant for both of you. Take the opportunity to explore the surroundings: hiking trails, local events, and nearby beaches. Spend time with the dogs and the house guardians, and take care of the farm animals (especially Popeye). Disconnect and enjoy the experience.
Namua, a wise and sensitive woman connected with nature.

My time at Namuas will be a time I won’t forget. Going through a month with vegan food alone changed my view on things and care that goes into cooking and feeding us volunteer’s was almost always put forth with great care. Our body’s were fed well, we worked hard too, and also replenished our souls with the river not far. If you are looking to be in nature, do some hiking near by or be immersed in a world that is connected together and not enjoyed separately. This is the place. You’ll find yourself bonding with the animals and enjoying the outdoor by the pond!
