The Experience

Looking for help with finishing off our busy apple season. Main twill be tasks are labeling and boxing juice ready to go back to people and to help clean our bottling line and barn ready for the closed season. The work is fast paced and repetitive but most volunteers have enjoyed this part of the process the most ! During you free time you can spend time enjoying walks around the farm / surrounding countryside or traveling to London & Oxford

Staying here truly felt like coming home. From day one, Nic and Mark were incredibly warm, kind, and welcoming, always ready to help with anything while keeping the work simple and never overwhelming. Nic's cooking, prepared with so much love, was a highlight, and sharing meals together felt like being part of a family rather than just a visitor. This experience was more than just a stay—it was a chance to connect, share, and create beautiful memories, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.

They are generous, patient, and kindhearted people, always open to sharing and learning about different cultures, which made every conversation truly special. the farm is located the farm beautiful place, surrounded by nature, breathtaking views, and lovely animals. Also, Nic's cooking is delicious and always made with care. The activities are varied, enjoyable, and easy to do, while also being very enriching. I enjoyed every single moment of this experience.

Mark & Nicola are the kindest and most hardworking people I've come across. Their dedication to their farm + apple pressing is evident, they are just two incredibly sweet humans. The task was fun, creating photos/videos for their upcoming products. The accommodation is definitely one of the best that I've stayed in (volunteering) and the animals are so cute 🥰 location is a little outside of London but the transport is well linked and was able to get around on a bike!

My experience on the farm was amazing! I learned so much about farm life and production. Mark and Nicola were so welcoming and I felt at home while I was there. The nature and wildlife on the farm and surrounding areas was beautiful and peaceful, and it's a great place to go explore and hike and get in touch with yourself. Nicola's cooking was AMAZING and I discovered many new English dishes I'd never heard of. I loved every moment of being there, and I will miss it a lot, can't recommend enough!

What can I say about this beautiful experience with these amazing people? It was just a fun and lovely time where I got to learn about the juice-making process, but the best part are Nicola and Mark. They are such warm, caring people who genuinely look out for your comfort and make sure your stay is perfect. I felt right at home from the very first minute! I'm so grateful for the chance to meet them and, of course, Shadow, George, Faith, and Hope, the little stars of the place that I grew so fond of! This farm has truly earned a special place in my heart. ❤️
