사장님 is compassionate, generous and charismatic and during my stay I was welcomed with a trip to Costco, invitation to church and table tennis, and offered endless amounts of yummy snacks. 남자 사장님 is diligent and business focused yet friendly. Farm work was not too labor intensive during this off season- heavily packaging apple juice alongside a few misc. farm tasks. Meals are very generous and some of the best I’ve had in Korea. I will miss this farm, the owners and the 한국시골 생활. What remains with me is the kindness and openness of this family.

My stay on the farm was an amazing experience! Kim and the Monk are such kind and open people. They gave their best to integrate us into their daily life and I found this experience to be a great way to engage with Korean culture and people. The work on the farm was also very manageable. Short working hours and simple work. I had a lot of free time , but Kim showed me around a lot and took me on little trips. The time passed by so quickly and I would always come back for a visit !! ❤️

Staying with Hyunji and Sungtaek was such a memorable experience. From the first day they make me fell completely at home. Both of them were so kind, warm and generous with me! Sungtaek is one the kindest people I have ever met, he's always smiling and calm, even when the situation was a little bit unfortunate - problems with perilla machine, truck that was stuck... :') He was so warm and always willing to share his knowledge with me, I learned a lot about the farm work - especially perilla - thanks to him! I was also very lucky because I was able to see the arrival of the new animals - a cow and a goat (unfortunately I forgot their Korean names!). It was fun to see the farm slowly growing. Hyunji was also really really nice with me, she always made sure I felt comfortable at their house. Each day, she took the time to cook us three delicious meals, thank you again, that was so tasty! She even took me several times to some beautiful places like the Hantan River, and I'm grateful that she was always free to drive me to the subway station. I also really enjoyed spending time with their kids — they were full of energy, and we had a lot of fun together. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, I'm really grateful to them for their kindness and hospitality. I'll remember this stay as a beautiful moment during my trip in Korea. Thank you!

My friends and I had our first WWOOFing experience in October with Mr. Geum, and we truly enjoyed our two weeks at the beautiful Dure Village. Each day brought something new — from harvesting peanuts, peppers, and pumpkins to planting onions. Mr. Geum was down-to-earth and genuine, always eager to share his wisdom — from organic farming techniques to life lessons, music, and his love for nature. We enjoyed every conversation and laugh together. Hosting us alongside him was Esther (Mrs. Geum), who took wonderful care of us. Despite her busy schedule, she always checked in, brought us snacks, and even came to the fields to take photos. The Dure Village community was warm and welcoming, inviting us for meals and tea and taking us out on weekends — it truly felt like family. The accommodations were cozy, and the cafeteria meals were healthy and freshly made with farm produce. Work usually started at 9 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m., with lunch at noon. There’s also a small shop for snacks and a bus to Dongducheonjungang Station (Line 1), near Jihaeng Station, where you can find essentials, bakeries, and cafés. If you’re looking for a meaningful WWOOFing experience to learn, grow, and feel genuinely welcomed, we can’t recommend Dure Village enough. Don’t hesitate to visit Mr. Geum’s farm — it’s an experience you’ll never forget!
