We're looking for volunteers from April to October. Candidates who apply for longer periods, starting from 4 weeks, are given priority. However, we will also consider applicants who are only able to stay for a shorter period.

This volunteer experience is based on sharing daily life on our farm holiday and supporting us mainly in the kitchen. You’ll live with us and become part of our family routine, helping with meals and kitchen organization while enjoying a calm, welcoming environment.
