A minha experiencia de 3 semanas com os anfitriões Rick e Ruthie foi fantástica! Trabalho em equipe, organizado, respeitando os horários, atenciosos, oferecendo o seu melhor para os voluntários. Diariamente organizavam alguma atividade integrando a equipe (trilhas, jantar com amigos, saídas para pubs, etc). Sempre dispostos para nos levar e buscar na cidade ou na estação de trem. Meu inglês não é bom, porem sempre tiveram a paciência para falar lentamente comigo. Super recomendo esta experiencia sem duvidar. Um verdadeiro aprendizado em todos os sentidos num ambiente super-colaborativo.

I spent two weeks at Holm's Farm, it was an amazing experience. Rick and Ruthie were incredibly welcoming and made sure we felt at home. Rick was a great teacher, clearly explaining the process of building the frames, what we were doing and why, which made the work much more engaging. He was also always ready to help with any problems that came up. Ruthie's warm and fun personality made her a joy to be around, and her cooking was fantastic she even made me enjoy eating vegetarian. I loved being surrounded by nature, the tent was spacious and comfortable, and I learned a lot while working there

My experience at the community was great! The area is so beautiful and calm . My tent was near the river and it was lovely! Ruthie and Rick are both very kind and friendly people, they took really good care of me and I could tell that it's important for them that the volunteers feel comfortable and welcome. I loved the job I did during this time as I was learning new things and techniques for woodworking. I can't wait to see more of this unique project in the future .

We couldn't have had a better experience for a first volunteering experience. Rick and Ruthie are pleasant people who do their best to make you feel good. The project is interesting and we are proud to have contributed to the construction of their dream house. Working hours are respected. Ruthie cooks delicious vegetarian and healthy dishes. Outside of working hours Ruthie and Rick took us to see the scenery of the Lake District which was wow. We also met members of the HHF community and had a great time with their pets. This experience will be forever etched in our memories.

My time with Rick and Ruthie was absolutely amazing, and I'm not sure 600 words are enough to express how great it was! I felt right at home. Rick's global stories and knowledge kept me engaged and I learned so much. Ruthie's cooking is amazing—her quiche is unforgettable! She's also a gardening pro. Getting to know them was pure joy—they're so warm and welcoming. Helping with their dream home was a truly special experience, and I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I left with new skills and wonderful friends. Highly recommend staying with them—don't miss Ruthie's incredible quiche!

Rick and Ruth are incredible hosts, polite and easygoing. They both have a lot of patience to teach new words in their language. Rick knows how to lead a team well and we work in incredible harmony which resulted in effective and positive volunteering. The environment is very peaceful with a peaceful energy. I was very happy to be invited to go hiking and discover new places in England. Ruthie welcomed us very well and provided wonderful gastronomic experiences, the vegetarian cuisine is sensational and expanded my mind and made me realize that we can eat healthily without eating meat.

It was such an amazing experience, I loved learning new skills in regards to wood work and getting involved in a big project. The other volunteers also made my time there, it was so much fun hanging out and exploring the area together. Ruthie cooked delicious food and took great care of us. Rick was good at showing us the ropes and letting us get stuck into it. They both made me feel at home, miss them a lot. I really recommend this volunteering opportunity.

I had a great time at the farm! Rick is a great teacher, and the work is really interesting. We chiseled, split wood and put rafters on the house. Learned a lot of skills and problem solving. The food was so good missing the bread already 😁 The accommodation is tents, a little cold and wet if you are planning on going in autumn. The tents are spacious and comfy otherwise! The Lake District is beautiful and definitely worth visiting. Thank you for the great stay and I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on the house!
