The Experience

A small farm in a beautiful location! Our farm and home probably date back to pre 1660's, with many additions since. It has been left to go wild for the last 40 years. The river has otters, seals, beavers, salmon, sea trout, and sea bass. With buzzards and owls overhead. There are deer in the surrounding woodland. If you want to help and improve a sustainable way of life, come and help us with an open heart. All levels of help are needed.

It's a place full of nature. If you're looking to relax with a good view, this is an excellent option. Jonathan is a great host — funny and attentive to your needs. It's also a good place to learn about teamwork and responsibility. A lot depends on the people you're with, too. It's a place to stay curious, explore the surroundings, and ask questions about how to do things. Jonathan won't hesitate to help you. He's someone you can learn a lot from, if you know how to take advantage of the opportunity.

My stay at the farm was a very memorable and unique experience, where I met amazing travelers and and I truly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere. The location was beautiful and I had the chance to learn new skills through a variety of tasks (construction, animal care, cooking, housekeeping, etc). The bedrooms and bathrooms for the volunteers could use some improvements due to the building's age. A little attention to these areas would make the stay even more comfortable :) Overall, this was a great experience - thank you Jonathan!

My experience on the farm was very enriching because I learned a lot of things. For example, I learned to eat healthier, and being in contact with nature makes you feel mentally calmer. I also practiced English with my colleagues, and most importantly, I take with me great friendships that I made. Thank you very much, Jonathan, for allowing me to get to know your farm.

My time at the farm was great and I learned a lot of handy new skills. Jonathan is a great teacher and host. The tasks vary in difficulty and if you are not comfortable doing a certain thing there is always something else to do. The meals were really great. Everyday 2 people cook lunch for everyone which we all eat together. And it's a great way to experience different cultures by eating. Overall I had a really great time and I'm sure I will find myself back in Devon in the future.
