I will never forget about my experience at the farm, it was absolutely great! Susan and Heiko are very welcoming and such a nice people. Heiko is a perfect cook, even for a picky eater :D I learned a lot about the surrounding nature, and Heiko taught me several new tasks around the garden. For the future people coming, I would recommend bringing warm clothes, as it could be quite chilly even during the summer.

I stayed with Heiko & Susan for around 3 weeks, they're lovely folk and I felt right at home there. They have lots of experience hosting people from all over the world! Learned quite a bit about permaculture and foraging, Heiko is very knowledgeable and has some great books on his shelves. The work was very relaxed at my own pace. Redid the floor and walls in their bathroom amongst other little jobs around the house and garden. When he had to be away for a week to help someone move, I looked after the place and kept Susan company. Would love to visit that part of Co.Down again sometime!

Wonderful and unforgettable experience! Heiko and Susan are an amazing couple. They taught me so much about Permaculture, foraging, cultural things, wine knowledge, how to use some tools and techniques. They provided me an awesome and cozy bedroom just for myself. Food was always in abundance. Heiko has a fantastic knowledge of music and he loves playing the guitar and sing which made everyday so much fun. Thank you so much Heiko and Susan for everything! I will never forget you guys and our time together at your place! And thank you for saving my life during Covid19 times! 😆

Heiko and Susan are very nice Our experience at their home was extremely fruitful Heiko every morning made a healthy natural juice and we were going to walk with the dog Eddie Our job was to clean the garden, something that we were able to accomplish without any problems The dinners were on behalf of the host, and each day was a surprise. Natural and healthy food After dinner, we would talk, watch something, listen to music, even Heiko even played songs of his own We finally got to know a lot of cool places that are nearby, including the bikes that were made available by the hosts

Heiko and Susan are wonderful people. from the first moment they welcomed me as part of the family. Portaferry is a beautiful place. Susan is a sweet and gentle woman and Heiko has a lot of knowledge and taught me a lot. I am proud to have helped with the refurbishment of the dining room. when we were not working we spent time watching movies and listening to music. On my day off I could go to the beach. every day we walked with Eddie the beagle s2 I'll miss

To start off I would like to thank Heiko and Susan for the experience they allowed me to have. I genuinely couldn't have had a better first experience on Worldpackers, in my humble opinion. The work was great! I got to use many tools and learn many new skills, along with that the work was as easy or as hard as you wanted it to be. Heiko and Susan were wonderful people who were fun and interesting to talk to. I honestly felt like I was part of the family. Their animals were wonderful too. Eddie was a characteristic dog, the chickens were fun to feed and Mickey was nice to pet when she'd let you

It was my first volunteer program, I couldn't have chosen a better one. Ever since my arrival Haiko and Susan are like family to me, they treated me with kindness, respect and love. If you really want to connect with nature, help and learn about permaculture farming this is the place.

This was a very laid back experience. Heiko and Susan did not give much guidance. The farm is very overgrown and the house is dirty. Heiko and Susan were very welcoming and generous with their space and food. They departed for a convergence while I was there and me and the other volunteer were left in charge of the animals( a dog, cat and chickens). This was a lovely experience because it enabled us to have some down time and we knew what was expected of us. Lots of reading time.

The farm was our first experience like worldpackers. It was great. We were receive by Heiko and his wife Susan very well, they were so kind with us, we really felt welcome there.we had a great time together, sharing meals and making nights happy with Heiko's music! the farm is a great place very sustainable, it shows you how you can live permaculture in your own garden. The place it's peaceful and quiet. It's ideal for whom looks for tranquility
