Me and my friend had such a great experience helping out for the Sangol Music Festival! There were so much stuffs and chores to do and we were happy that we were able to help other seniors and the host such as cleaning the rooms and buildings, preparing food for the gathering!
The farm work is paused mainly because it’s winter time but instead ; the Music Festival and we also participated the performance! Even though the practice period was short but other people were so kind and supportive!!
Mrs Kim taught us how to make kimbab and kimchi pancake while we were there! We also went for brisk walk together at the dam.
Mr Kim likes music so much and we sang Arirang and other songs together! We learned a lot from the host from their actions, words and wisdom and their kindness :) We felt that we really picked a great place to start WWOOFing!
We ate all 3 meals together with the host and other Nanumteo guests! Food were really tasty (if you tried a lot of Korean food before) and you can feel that it was prepared with love and warmth :)
It’s such a whole lot better experience if you’re able to speak Korean! Me and my friend learned a lot of Korean new words and expressions here!
People that we met at Nanumteo were really kind & warm to us. It is such an unforgettable experience to be here. If you come here, you will be able to learn Korean culture deeply; how they talk to each other, how food are made, how people live in Korea country side, and many more!

I had a truly wonderful time at Nanumteo Farm with Mr. and Mrs. Kim. From the very beginning, they welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home. Each morning, I worked with Mr. Kim for about three hours in the fields—removing rocks and sowing radish seeds—and on some days I helped Mrs. Kim with weeding. Afternoons were completely free, with just a little help around mealtimes.
The meals were absolutely delicious, and I especially enjoyed the community aspect: neighbors often joined us at the table, so there was always a lively, friendly atmosphere. Twice a week, Mr. Kim taught us how to play Jangu (a traditional Korean drum) and sing the "Arirang" song, and they even invited me to join a friend’s wedding, visit local markets, and go hiking with Mrs. Kim. These experiences made me feel not just like a guest, but part of their community.
Even though I don’t speak Korean, communication was never a problem. Mrs. Kim speaks English very well, and with Mr. Kim we managed through gestures, demonstrations, and lots of good humor.
Overall, this was an incredible and unforgettable experience—the perfect way to end my two-month journey in South Korea. I am deeply grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Kim for their kindness, generosity, and for sharing their lives with me.

chin man billy leung (Canada) : Here the emphasis is more on people and culture rather than farming. Mr Kim has a few patches around for growing. Some of the days one could imagine putting focussed efforts in the field. However, when you are the visitor here you will be mingling with a lot of visiting artists and musicians in this place. If you speak and understand some Korean it will be a great place to boost your immersion, otherwise you will have to adjust and use your body language to go through your stay. However, it has its lively ambience and its charm given the amount of social activities being gathered there from time to time. 대둔산 is close by for those who enjoy a hike up the mountain. It is a lovely place and view above is just as breathtaking as ever on a clear day.
I truly enjoyed my time there with everybody and have improved my Korean quite a bit as well. Thank you so much to Mr Kim for teaching me everything that you could possibly share.

Phoebe von Düffel (Germany) : I arrived in Korea very insecure about traveling alone and WWOOFING in winter. Mr and Mrs Kim were my first WWOOF host. I arrived and was quite nervous but Mr Kim immediately made me feel like part of the family. I stayed 10 days only, but it was an amazing and unique experience. Since it was in winter there wasn’t much work to be done. I felt like I couldn’t give back to Mr and Mrs Kim what they would so generously give every day. Mr Kim cooked all the time amazing meals for us. The two of them gave me everything I needed and even more than that. I really enjoyed my time during the day. I usually worked in the morning, then helped Mr Kim cooking and then in the afternoon had time for walks, reading and enjoying living with a Korean family. The farm was always busy. Everyday Mr Kim’s friends would come by we shared a lot of nice experiences all together. I enjoyed learning so much about the Korean culture! This place is a cultural center and so I met a lot of interesting people, a lot of artists!
The lifestyle is not very eco friendly, but I think that for Mr Kim the most important thing is to worship life every single moment by having fun with friends and family. I had a lot of fun! We danced and sang all together and I learned so much in just 10 days!
I really want to go back and visit that place!
I recommend this farm to everyone who doesn’t care as much about organic farming and sustainability, but is just looking for an authentic Korean experience!
Thank you Mr and Mrs Kim for everything you have done for me!
Thank you for introducing me to your friends! You all are such nice and generous people! I hope to see you again!

WWOOFer (Singapore) : An excellent place to WWOOF at and it was my very first WWOOFING experience. Really glad to meet Mr and Mrs Kim here. Happened to bump into a fellow WWOOFER here as well and it was a great pleasure meeting her.
My one month here was unexpected but I am really lucky to have spent my one month here.
A note I would like to convey from Mr and Mrs Kim is that they prefer long-term WWOOFERS (2 weeks and above) if possible.

WWOOFer (USA) : 우프를 통하여 처음 한국에 와봤고, 사람들과의 만남을 통해 문화를 경험하고 싶었다. 나의 처음 우프 호스트로 CN_105를 정한 사실이 너무 기쁘다.
호스트의 부인과 또다른 우퍼가 나를 계룡 기차역에 마중 나왔다. 차를 타고 25분정도 굽이굽이 산을 지나가다 보니, 호스트 농장이 나왔다. 숙소를 안내 받았고, 또 다른 우퍼가 농장의 다른 시설들과 가까운 거리의 불교사원을 투어 해 줬다.
나의 숙소는 넓고 편안하였으며, 주변의 산이 보이는 좋은 경치까지 있었습니다. 커뮤니티 룸과 부엌에서 호스트의 가족과 친구들과 대부분의 친교시간을 가졌다. 나의 호스트는 하나의 꿈인 나눔터를 확장하는 것에 시간을 보내는 것을 종종 볼 수 있었다.
매일 아침 호스트는 하루 일과와 각각의 임무를 설명했고, 같이 아침을 먹었다. 설거지 후에는 휴식을 취하고 8:30까지 만나기로 하였다. 나는 11:30까지 제초를 하거나, 식물을 심거나 물을 주는 일을 하였다. 나는 혼자 남겨져 일하는 시간이 많았다. 한번은 우린 같이 국화를 제거 하고 있었는데, 호스트는 10월에는 국화들이 보기 아름답다고 말해줬다. 호스트는 종종 같이 제초를 하거나 등산을 할 때에 나에게 ""천천히, 천천히"" 라고 말하였다.
호스트가 점심을 준비할 때에 나는 정원에서 기르는 유기농 채소들을 씻었고, 밥을 그릇에 담거나 호스트가 맛있는 음식을 준비하는 모습을 지켜 보았다. 두번 정도 우리는 양촌면에서 냉면을 먹었는데, 태어나서 처음 맛보았지만, 고된 아침 작업 후에 먹는거라 정말 맛있었다.
오후시간은 한국어를 공부하거나, 이메일/포스트카드 혹은 일기를 쓰거나, 빨래를 하고 휴식을 취하며 보냈다.
저녁에는 보통 가족, 친구 혹은 마을 사람들과 맛있는 음식을 나누며 웃고 떠드는 시간 이었다. 내가 온 첫날 저녁, 우리는 80세가 된 마스터 드러머의 생신을 축하하는 시간을 가졌고, 그들은 즉흥 연주로 우리에게 보답하였다. 그 다음 날은 시니어 페스티벌에서 경쟁하는 호스트의 마을 사람들이 펼칠 드럼 연주를 지켜보았다. 그 후에 25명 정도의 참가자들과 우리는 둘러앉아 닭과 감자를 나눠먹었다. 셋째 날에는 호스트 부인의 가족들이 와서 바베큐를 해 먹었다. 저녁 후에 마을 사람들과 드럼 연습을 같이 해보았다. 그의 가족들 앞에서 우리는 한국과 미국 민요를 부르며 하루를 마무리 지었다. 한번은 호스트가 아리랑을 알려주었고 대전에서 있을 한국 민요 콘서트를 위해 연습하였다.
호스트는 매일 아침 나를 격려하고 동기를 부여하는 말로 시작했다. 나에게 주어진 일은 휴식, 사교, 및 오락 시간과 균형을 이루었다. 나는 호스트, 그의 가족, 마을 사람들과 이 농장에서 많은 추억을 쌓았다. 나는 손님으로서 환영받고, 또 마을의 일원이라는 느낌을 받았다. 나는 나의 노동력의 가치보다 훨씬 더 풍부한 경험을 그곳에서 만들었다.
