It was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend to anyone out there thinking of applying. Leo and her whole family were so authentically kind and welcoming. They would always include us volunteers in the various activities outside of work (riding horses, meals, board games). As far as the work itself Leo was very fair with the hours and patient with our learning curve. The days went by quickly. The meals were amazing and made with all organic ingredients. They even have their own in house barber with Leo's brother Franz, shoutout Franz for the cut!! Thanks for the great trip!!

I had a wonderful experience with Leo and her family, who made me feel very welcome. Leo is very patient and always listens, it was great to work with her. She always makes sure that there is good communication and that everyone feels at ease. I'm very happy to have been able to take part in this low environmental impact renovation project, I can't wait to see the finished house :) The village and the surrounding area are really beautiful. The farm is charming, and you can enjoy the presence of all the animals. I highly recommend this experience!

Leo and her family welcomed me into their home and made me feel so comfortable, the farm and village is absolutely beautiful, Leo is very clear and helpful with teaching everything and was very understanding when I had to take breaks to treat my diabetes, Leo speaks fantastic English and is very easy to get along with. My only regret was not booking a longer trip!! Can't wait to see the house when it's finished. Prost!

I only spent a week in here, but it was such a wonderful experience. Leo and her family are incredibly welcoming and they treat you as a part of the family. You eat together work together and they were also so kind to show us some lakes around the area. The work is very well explained and fun. It's so nice to see the progress on the house. Thank you so much for being so welcoming! 💞 I would recommend this to anyone that would like to discover the German country side and rest in nature!🌿🐎

I've stayed here with my girlfriend for three weeks in August 2024, we had a very wonderful time! Leo is a great and flexible host, and her family is incredibly welcoming, immediately making you feel at home. This is an experience i'd recommend to anyone, it's interesting, fun and the work is very rewarding, as you see the house proceed and improve. We worked on setting up the insulation, but the job depends of course on what there is to do. We had no prior experience but Leo is a great teacher, and she brought us up to speed very quickly!

This experience put us out of our comfort zone and then rewarded us ten times fold. This is a family of such kind hearted and spirited people, you can truly feel it. Leo is a great boss, she's understanding, intelligent, accommodating and she cares a lot about the learning experience the volunteers can get out of the work. The farm is a marvel: LOADS of the cuddliest cats, chickens, ducks, geese, horses, rabbits, the more the merrier. The countryside is so pretty and peaceful. Last but not least, their cooking is incredible. Like really. We had the best time, danke schön Leo🌼

I really enjoyed my time here! I'm so glad this was my first world packers experience. After getting off the bus, Leo walked me back to the house and I fell in love with it - so cozy and charming. My room was spacious and nicely decorated, it even had a piano in it! I often found a cat lying on my bed, as they're all so friendly. A nice surprise was lunch- Leo's family & the volunteers would all eat lunch together (always delicious), which is such a nice tradition. I loved how we could pick our own hours since we worked independently, after Leo showed us what to do. She's a very good teacher.
