Un Goût de Miel

You can learn from beekeeping, to cook a great variety of food, gardening, harvesting even soap making !! Lots to learn here.

After work, we love to have a good meal and exchange about our culture, enjoy a firepit or a board game.

We try to have team building activities once a month. They are always fun. Usually, the team decide what they want to do. From kayaking, icecream, shopping to going out in cool places to discover.

I have one employee name Katy. She works full time during the week and love to meet and work with new travelers. She speak french, english and spanish. We also offer apprentiship for student with special needs. At the moment, we have one girl name Leila. She is with us one day per week during school time. You will also meet and work with othe volunteers. Some come 1/2 day per week other more. The schedule vary. I put in more than full time. You will mostly work with the other but with me when I it time to beekeeping and other perticular task. I speak french and english. You will be staying with my husband and I. Not pet, no kids (they are living on their own) You will be treated like everybody else, just with more free time !

Volunteering at Un Goût de Miel was an unforgettable experience. In just three weeks, I learned so much, thanks to the care and support from Natalie, her family, and the team. I’m especially grateful to Natalie for welcoming me into her home, to Katy for her patience and amazing French lessons, and to Stephen for the great conversations. A big thanks also to the lovely girls in the garden. I highly recommend this place, it’s truly special. Thank you for everything!

Un grand merci pour tout.

I had such an amazing experience here! Nathalie made me feel so welcome and at home. Everything was communicated clearly and the work is very much as described. My time here was incredible and allowed me to step out of my comfort zone while feeling totally supported by the people around me. The closest town is very small but has all the necessities but you need a car to be able to access the other larger towns close by or grab a lift with a family member. The property itself is very quiet but great for walking to the river for a swim or reading a book when work is done. I loved it here!

Natalie is a great host and the position is exactly as advertised! She provides a cozy camper to stay in and the property is beautiful. I really enjoyed learning about her business and being able to help out. There was no issue but the communication was great so had there have been I would have felt very comfortable talking with her about it. Overall I had a great stay and would recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet, more off grid stay and looking to connect with nature more- thank you Natalie!

Nathalie is hardworking and runs a tight ship, if you are not a fussy person this experience will be good for you!
I had a nice time meeting Nathalie and her family, as well as Katy in the kitchen.
Food is what is given and is often vegetarian. If you are sleeping in the camper you will need to use the outhouse at night/early morning and make sure you have filtered water from the house before curfew. Wifi doesn’t reach the camper so you won’t have it at night.
Domestic jobs (dishes and dinner preparation) are expected outside working hours.
A beautiful location with lots to learn!
Thanks!!!
