Me and my friend had an amazing stay at the Rachel and Phil's farm. Both of them are very welcoming and friendly. The working hours and tasks were respected and the experience itself was very informative and educational, we learnt a lot about permaculture and organic farming. Eyragues is a beautifull small village surrounded by a lot of interesting places, so there is much to explore at the afternoons! I would totally recommend this experience for people who love to be surrounded by nature and so many cute animals, I already miss the atmosphere.

I had a good time during my stay in the project farm sharing my experience with other two volunteers. The hours of work in the farm were respected and volunteers learnt a lot as they were explained their corresponding task. Rachel and Phil cooked fresh and healthy food so the meals were delicious (sometimes I missed some more protein though). The town is little but there are plenty of lovely sites to visit in the surroundings (take some cash with you for the bus). I would recommend this option to couples and pairs of friends willing to learn about farming and harvesting. Thank you!

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!

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!

Staying with Rachel and Phillip was an incredibly educational and enjoyable time. The work they do on the farm is so incredible and if you have the chance to work with them you will leave appreciating organic farming so much more. They have so much respect for the earth and it's awesome to see how passionate they are. The work can be tough but is always fulfilling and leaves you feeling great. If you want to learn about permaculture and farming, I would highly recommend this experience! Thank you Rachel and Phillip for everything!

The hosts Rachel and Philip are genuinely good people, they are always kind and polite, they teach us the tasks and always give us feedback on how we are doing, which is very important. They have some traditions in the house and always include us, making us feel at home. The farm is very beautiful and the animals are very docile too. They prepared the meals with love and everything we ate from their production was very tasty. I am very grateful for the experience and for welcoming me so well! I wish them much success.

Rachel and Philip are excellent hosts. The farm is beautiful and happy, there's always good music playing. The work schedule is clear and respected. There's a variety of tasks — heavy (digging, pipe repair), medium (watering, composting), and light (weeding, mowing). Meals are freshly cooked with love, mainly British-style. If you need extra protein, bring your own — I had eggs and sardines. Bring sunscreen. It's a family home, so give them space on weekends. Great hiking nearby — a forest walk is 5 min away, market 25 min. Two friendly indoor dogs, Simba and Lola, may bark loudly at times.
