This was a great experience! Rachel, Phil, Freddy and Frankie are great people. We had meaningful work in the garden preparing for winter and spring and it was varied with other jobs including animal care, preserving of vege and maixtenance. All great learning experiences in truely ethical and sustainable vegetable growing. A fantastic balance of work and time off. Plenty to do near the farm. The garden bell tent was perfect . Very very comfy with great privacy for the helpers and hosts. Food was great and plenty and bathroom A1. Thank you . Hope to stay in touch! X

I had the most wonderful stay here! rachel and phil were very welcoming as soon as i arrived, and the company was always lovely (although, be careful playing card games with frankie - it can get brutal ;) the tasks were never too hard, and the work was changing regularly so you get a good feel for how the farm works - makes it fun and a good learning experience! the surrounding villages are also beautiful to explore on your days off (accesible by bus) and the closest can be walked to. i did this experience solo, but can imagine it being extra fun for couples/pairs of volunteers.

My time with Rachel and Phillip was simply fantastic! I felt totally at home from the very first day. Rachel and Phillip are so incredibly welcoming and included me in their lives straight away, which made it super easy to settle in. They were always there for me, whether it was for tips, a nice chat or just to make me feel like part of the family. We had so many great times together, whether it was at dinner, at work or just relaxing evenings. I really appreciated this warmth and cordiality!

I had a wonderful experience here. Rachel and Philip always made me feel welcomed and safe. The accommodations are just like the photos, the work was reasonable and exactly as described, and the food was great. I really enjoyed learning about permaculture and traveling around the villages. I also loved playing card games with Frankie. Thank you for having me!

What a stunning place in the world being the garden everyday was lush really got stuck in with plants. Watering first thing everyday and seeing them developed was great to see. Rachel and Phillip are lovely hosts very caring and very hard working to make this place work and what a place they have created. The hours are very reasonable and seem to go by very quickly. As my first experience it was an awesome way to experience solo travelling. Plenty things to do and see with a bus 20 minutes from the house and can see lots of very cool and interesting villages. Thank again for your hospitality

The Halliwells were amazing hosts. All very welcoming, understanding and kind. The daily tasks were all easily completed and nothing too strenuous especially in the heat of the week. Working hours were great and you have enough time to complete tasks and then go explore surrounding villages. The food was all really good and it was nice to spend time with the family. Just be warned that a games of cards against Frankie after dinner could have you losing all dignity 😅.

Rachel, Philip and their family were really welcoming and generous in opening their home so thoroughly to us volunteers. The tent was comfortable and the pool was brilliant on a hot day. The hours were respected, not hard and gave good amounts of time to explore the beautiful towns and locations in the area. I loved my stay so much and would definitely recommend this experience.

This was my first experience with worldpackers, and I couldn't of asked for a nicer family. Rachel was so caring and made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and Phillip made me genuinely interested in the progress of their garden. The task were relatively easy and explain in detail so there was no confusion, and the hours were pretty fair. I usually finished around 2:30pm and was still able to go out and see the surrounding towns in the afternoon. I would recommend them so much to anyone trying to see the beautiful and quite side of France. 😍😊

I spent a week here and I wish I stayed longer. Rachel picked us up and showed us around their farm. Our glamping tent was a cozy&great accommodation. They explained all our tasks and appreciated our work, we made a difference. We got breaks in between the work and all our meals were very good with large portions. In our free time we borrowed their bikes and went to close towns and relaxed in their pool, or played card games with their daughter. The morning work hours are in the sun so definitely bring hats and long clothing to protect your skin. A nice calm area close to great attractions!

I only got to spend a short time on the farm, but it was a great experience! The location is great, perfect for trips to nearby towns after work time or on off days. The pool is also an added bonus. The tent is super cozy and the beds were great to sleep in. They had a lot going on but still had time to teach us important things about the garden and I really learned a lot. I would have loved to stay longer! I definitely recommend :)
