I had a great experience in Leo's farm. At the beginning we were 2 volunteers working together renovating clay ceilings. We were staying at the same house as the family and shared meals together. Then 2 more volunteers joined and I was moved to a cozy tent outside of the house. Then we learned how to apply clay layers for insulating the walls. I loved chatting with all family members and playing with the cats. I also greatly recommend going with a walk with the horses. Thank you so much for this experience and I hope the workshop becomes a beautiful space to create <3

Leonore and her family were so nice and I had a really great time there! I stayed for a week with some friends and we had plenty of time to work in the timbered house as well as getting to know her and her wellcoming family, their village and the beautiful surroundings. Leonore taught us everything we needed to know and we had a great time working together. All the hours of work are well stablished and all the meals provided too,which were delicious. Her house and garden were so nice and she always made sure we had everything we needed. I am so grateful for this experience and hope to repeat!

Helping Leonore was such a great experience. We weren't experienced with construction and Leonore explained everything perfectly and made the work easy and fun. Her family was the sweetest and they all made sure that we felt confortable in their house, also the food was also delicious. I have loved getting to know this part of Germany and this wonderfull family. Thank you so much Leonore for everything!!!!

Leo and her family were so kind and they made us feel like home. We got to know them, their culture and learnt so much about many things. The project was just what we were looking for and more because Leo explained everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions. Leo and her family were really committed to the project and transmitted their dedication and effort, so we fell in love with the project as well. I would love to come back. Thank you so much.

This volunteering experience has been life changing! It was my first time volunteering and I definitely recommend it. Leo and her family are the cutest and kindest people, always making sure we felt just like at home. The project is very interesting, you get to learn so many skills about construction (Leo explains everything, she's patient and understanding) and you get to see the progress of the project and how your work adds to the final result of the house. I could only stay there for a week, but I would have loved the stay longer to continue the project.

I only stayed for a week, but really enjoyed my time here. The family was really welcoming and kind. I found that mealtimes could be a bit unpredictable and wished that I had brought some comfort foods with me, since there was no grocery store close by. They took me into the city one day as well. I was sanding the ceiling for most of my work, as well as cleaning brick/removing old mortar. The work was tiring, but Lenore was really understanding of this and tried to find substitutes for when my arms were too tired. The kitties were sooo sweet too. I would come back for sure!

I had a great time volunteering here, I stayed for over a month and would definitely recommend. The work is not difficult but will be new to most, everything is explained really well and Leonore has no problem with repeating an explanation or answering any questions you might have. I learned a lot about renovation and learned lots if new skills. The area is beautiful and the house is on a farm so you can interact with the animals and go horse riding with the family. Leonore and her family are really welcoming and helpful and really made me feel at home.

Enjoyed my time here with the family to do my small bit to help with the workshop vision. I learnt to brick lay, build walls using potash clay and I sanded down wooden ceilings. Hours of work are respected. Meals are veggie and cooked with love. Göttingen is a pretty nice town and easy to reach by bus. Please bring clothes and shoes you are willing to get dirty. Lovely cats, horses, chickens and geese! Definitely recommend if you enjoy nature, want a digital detox and to learn about construction!

My second time there and it was also a really nice experience. The hours and meals are respected. I got the chance to stay for Christmas and be with the family was a great time. Definitely I'm going to miss be there with the horses, the cats and even the chickens. Leo and Franz, her parents and sisters are truly amazing people.

I loved this volunteering so much that I had to come back. In this second time here I felt as in home, the work was also simple and the hours of work were always respected. They gave me the best experience during Christmas time and my Birthday. You really will be involved in the lovely German culture. I will miss them so much but I hope to see you soon again.
