I had the most amazing time volunteering here. Ed and Alex were warm, welcoming, and attentive, always ensuring I was comfortable. Their knowledge of regenerative farming, combined with clear communication, meant I learned so much. I was eased into tasks at a steady pace, allowing me to learn thoroughly, and the work was incredibly rewarding. Tasks were well-structured and varied, with work hours always respected. The van was cozy and well-equipped, lunches were delicious, and the surroundings were beautiful. Having a bike to explore was a fantastic bonus. Thank you, Ed and Alex!!!!

I really enjoyed my time at the project! I felt very welcomed by Alex and Ed and they tried everything to make feel comfortable. It was also my first time working on a farm and Ed was really patient with explaining everything to me. I stayed during winter, so it's a bit cold in the caravan, but it was fine once I got used it. They also have only one volunteer during winter, so I was mostly working by myself. Mostly I enjoyed the conversations I had with Ed and Alex, since both of have traveled a lot and were able to give me really good advice and new perspectives.

Ed and Alex were absolutely amazing hosts! They welcomed us with open arms and constantly made sure we were comfortable. Ed and Alex are extremely passionate and well educated about farming, permaculture and environmental awareness. We learned so much during our time with them and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We bonded well with the whole family and we got to know about the history and inner workings of the community. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to deeper their understanding about farming and the environment. Thank you so much Ed and Alex!

Ed and Alex are great hosts and you'll enjoy your time with them! They're super knowledgable and know what they're doing. Expectations are clear and you won't be asked to do more than you can handle. The caravan is nice too! Definitely would recommend.

My experience with Edward and Alex was outstanding. The tasks that needed to be completed were varied, which is a huge plus. Edward is very passionate about what he does and always taught us something new every day! During lunchtime, we would share funny anecdotes about our past and talk for hours. It's important to highlight the good communication we had with them as well as their constant concern for our well-being. I can't recommend this more for all nature lovers out there!
