I highly recommend the Fig Farm for any and every volunteer! Rachel and Philip are two of the hardest-working people and the passion for their project is reflected in every aspect of the farm. From watering the garden to weeding, you are given the opportunity to connect with the environment and understand how important organic farming is on the flavor of the food you eat. Not only is the work very rewarding, but you get to do it with the best views, food, and company (people and animals). There are also cute little towns nearby that are easily accessible, don't miss out on this experience!

My friend and I had a wonderful time working on this farm. It was a wonderful escape from city living and a very educational experience- I learned a lot about how vegetables are grown and the importance of sustainable farming. I had gotten sick during a portion of the stay, and Rachel & Phillip were very understanding and flexible. Thank you for such a wonderful stay - I miss all of the animals and even the chirping cicadas :)

I had an amazing experience at the project, Rachel and Phil are kind and respectful hosts and made me feel at home from the very first moment. Their permaculture project is really interesting and you can learn lots of things by them, i also got on very well with the other volunteers. In addition, there are many places to visit in your free time and most of them are not difficult to reach. I absolutely recommend this volunteering experience!

This was such a lovely experience, the knowledge and intentional practices that are put into the farm is truely admirable. I enjoyed being able to learn, as well get involved in a way that resonates with me; with care, intention and genuine enjoyment. Philip and Rachel, and the family are all so welcoming it was easy to feel settled in and be present in the beautiful nature. Thank you very much :)

Phil and Rachel were amazing hosts! I was able to learn many things with Phil and the working hours were respected. Eyragues is a small village but well connected to other bigger towns!
