My time spent at the farm was an incredibly grounding and rewarding experience. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome, John and Lina are wonderful hosts who take interest in and make time for volunteers. The work itself was hands-on, from sorting and peeling the chestnuts, to feeding the animals. There's something satisfying about spending your days outdoors, connecting with nature, and contributing to the farm, while simultaneously learning about agriculture, health and well being, and sustainable farming. This was a great first experience on my volunteer journey!

Ciara-Ann is very passionate about what she wants to achieve in her life, and was an excellent help on the farm. We would recommend Ciara to other hosts. We would invite her back anytime.
Keep in touch Ciara and stay focused on your journey

John and Linda are excellent hosts that really go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed and settled in. Their passion for the farm really shows. They gave plenty of advice for the local area and transport, plus home cooked dinners every night. The work alternates daily so was varied when I was there. The farm itself is beautiful and it's so easy to immerse yourself in the nature around. This was my first Worldpackers experience so I didn't know what to expect but the 2 weeks I was there were a real highlight of my travels!

I had a really good time at the farm for the two and a half weeks I spent there. It's a perfect place if you're looking to slow down and reconnect with nature and it's located in a good spot to explore the surrounding area ( as long as you have a car ) You get to learn a lot about the farm and the production process which is fun but also demanding at times, especially during harvest season. Overall, it's a unique and beautiful place and I would definitely recommend it.

My experience at the farm Brea was incredible! The work is so easy, the people are welcoming and so nice and the food is amazing. 🤩 You're out in the nature with lots of animals, stunning sunsets and night sky's! I felt so welcome by everyone, it's a home away from home! I can't recommend it enough!

Leonie was a pleasure to have with us at Chestnut Brae. She is always smiling and easy to get along with, plus she is proactive and is always keen to be involved with other team members getting a task done. She is intelligent and a great team player, easily understanding tasks given to her. We highly recommend Leonie, and we will miss her on the farm, she is great company.

The farm it's truly a special place! John and Linda are wonderful hosts and I felt so welcome. They are open minded, kind hearted and truly caring about the wellbeing of all the volunteers. I am so happy I went during harvest season, as it was great to learn something completely new! (know that it can be hard work at times) One of the highlights was the daily dinners with beautiful meals and great conversation. I am so grateful for this time and wish I could've stayed longer! An experience I'll carry with me forever. Thank you John and Linda!

Aurora was a great team member of the farm and joined in all the activities with enthusiasm. We loved having her on the farm and wish her all the luck moving forward on her journey.
Harvesting is always a challenging period for all farmers ,Aurora jumped straight in and got involved with all the tasks.
It was also fun to discover some secrets from Norway.
Have fun Aurora and we would have you back anytime
