My stay at the farm was a transformative and soul-warming experience. Laetitia, Yannick, and Noa are some of the world's sweetest people I have ever met. They deeply care about the well-being of the planet and all of its inhabitants. The food was delicious and plentiful, the work went by quickly, and the animals were great company. If you're interested in learning about herbal medicine, I learned so much just being around Laetitia and her garden. The rural land is incredibly special and beautiful with a magical river nearby, perfect for solo reflection. Bring books and hobbies!

Thank you Yannick, Laetitia, Noa for the warm welcome. Volunteering here was an incredible experience. Working alongside you and witnessing your dedication to the farm gave me a deep appreciation for the hard work that goes into it (especially apple juice). The way you care for the land, the animals, and each other is truly inspiring. What stood out most was how you made me feel truly at home. From shared meals to meaningful conversations. I learned so much and will always carry these memories and lessons. Can't wait to see the new baking oven and the sheep... Yannick, I'll be back ;)

Letizia and Yannik are heart warming people whom will lead you through a full personal growth. Every day in the farm is different, and if you're open to learn they will teach you what they know. After the first day(s) of adaptation, everything flows smooth and the work is always sides by active discussions and conversations. On this regard, the hosts are open minded people and you really can discuss about any topic without feeling judged.

Can't stress enough how grateful I am for this experience. Laetitia, Yannick and Noa are wonderful people. This experience will forever be a special memory for me. I really felt like I was a member of the family and the time I spent there helped me heal a lot. The work was also really enjoyable and I learned a lot about farming. The working hours are respected and the tasks aren't repetitive. The experience was definitely something I needed in my life. Already missing you guys❤️

Yannik and Letizia were incredibly kind and open hosts who immediately made me feel welcome. It was great fun to cook with them, try out new dishes and share precious moments. Their warmth and hospitality made my stay on the farm an unforgettable experience. During this time I learned many interesting facts about nature and gardening and gained deep insights into the work on the farm and the life of the animals there. These experiences broadened my horizons and gave me valuable knowledge about sustainable agriculture.
