As been said previously. On this farm you will be well fed. And welcomed every morning by Myungsoon’s warm smile. The work is relaxing and sometimes challenging. The dogs and puppies are adorable. Playing pingpong and going to church on Sunday are just two examples of the great experiences Ive had at this wonderful farm. This was my first time WWOOFing and i am sure it was a great way to start my volunteering journey.

My week at Nanumteo was amazing. Mr and Mrs Kim are incredible human beings willing to share and involve you in as many activities as possible. The work was enjoyable, the food always amazing, and the dinnertime was always great moment to feel part of the community. I will always cherish the time spent at Nanumteo!

I had a really good time at 홍천흙집치유동산! Although it was my first time WWOOFing, Heajoung and Yeongtaek took good care of me and had the patience to explain and show me how to get things done. I was only able to stay for five days, but I enjoyed every moment: picking flowers, getting wood, weeding, cleaning the chicken coop and building a small fence, but also relaxing on the hammock, napping in the garden and listening to the sound of the wind and the stream nearby. And I learned so much more than farming! We shared really good meals through which I learned new korean dishes and recipes, they let me join them at church and introduced me their community, neighbours and family. This family is lovely and the place is simply magical x

We spent a little over three weeks on the farm and had such a great time with Homie and OD. They are a really cool and welcoming couple, and it was exciting to see them building up their new permaculture farm. Communication was really easy because they speak English quite good. We mainly took care of the chickens, goats, the sheep and the pig, but also made paving stones and planted some garden beds. Since Homie and OD are often away teaching permaculture courses, we also had quite a lot of time on our own, which we really enjoyed. We were able to join some of their courses as well, which was a great experience. We also had lots of fun together outside the farm, eating delicious food at different restaurants and exploring the area. They have also always tried to show us new dishes. We stayed in the caravan, which was a nice experience, but there is also a room in the house. We really enjoyed our time here and are very happy we got to meet Homie and OD. Thanks for the great three weeks and we hope our paths will cross again in the future, in Italy, Germany, or South Korea :-)

I had an amazing experience at Nanumteo. Mr. and Ms. Kim welcomed us into their home and made us feel like part of the family from the very beginning. We had the opportunity to meet many people from the local community and take part in several activities, including a traditional local festival, which was a truly memorable experience I will always cherish. Since it was September, the work mainly consisted of a few hours of weeding and crop work in the morning, leaving the afternoons completely free. On some days of the week, there were Korean drum and art classes, which we were also able to join and really enjoyed! The food was incredible from the first day to the last, and we also had the opportunity to cook some traditional Korean dishes together with Mr. Kim. Every meal was a wonderful experience in itself. This was my third time in South Korea, but I can honestly say that it was the first time I had the chance to immerse myself so deeply in the local culture and truly feel welcomed. Mr. and Ms. Kim are incredibly generous and kind people, and I sincerely hope I can come back next year, as Nanumteo really felt like home and I already miss it. If you are looking for an authentic experience of Korean culture, in a beautiful place and with a slower and more mindful pace of life, I would absolutely recommend Nanumteo!
