======== English explanation ==========
✅ Introduction to the Host and the Farm :
Seeking healthier food, I left my life in Seoul and settled in Yeongam County, at Wolchulsan National Park, where I have been farming for over 40 years.
Healthy soil, the energy of the earth, and the rich environment produce organic crops, which hold the essence of plants. Their unique taste and aroma are a result of their natural immunity.
A healthy diet provides physical and mental well-being for everyone—workers, students, patients, the elderly, and people of all ages. The organic fermented enzyme foods I have developed over the past 40 years are essential for modern people who live busy and stressful lives.
These fermented enzyme foods, with their deep and rich flavors, help purify the blood, promote digestion and absorption, remove toxins, enhance antibacterial properties, regenerate cells, and improve circulation. They bring vitality through exercise and allow us to experience a life free of disease while living as a farmer.
Living with pure and clean blood is the greatest treasure one can have.

I stayed for one week on my own and had a great time! Really beautiful place and the hosts are so welcoming. I learned so many things including how to make 김밥! The food was really delicious and Madam Go is an amazing cook. I recommend to go if you are willing to work hard and enjoy eating a lot!

Barbara and Jasper, Bergium (Belgium) : 첫주간은 은행열매를 수확하는 활동이였습니다.
은행나무 주위에 넓은 망을 깔아놓고서 시작했습니다.
대나무 장대로 은행열매를 은행나무에서 떨어뜨리려고 했습니다.
그러다가 겁없이 Jasper가 나무 중간높이까지 올라가 장대로 은행열매를 떨었습니다.
우수수하게 열매가 쏟아졌습니다.
Barbara까지 은행나무에 올라가서 둘이서 은행열매를 떨었습니다.
옆에서 보기에 장관이였습니다.
그렇게 해서 30가마니를 수확하였습니다.
한 가마니당 25~30kg 정도였으니 총 900kg 내지 1,000kg 곧 1TON을 수확하였습니다.
농장에서는 은행식초를 제조하게되고 은행열매는 로컬푸드점에 출품하여 판매합니다.
둘째주간은 겨울김장을 담그는 체험을 하였습니다.
말린 고추룰 손질하고 그리고 마늘을 준비하였습니다.
고춧방앗칸에 가서 고추가루를 만들어 가지고 와서 본격적으로 김장준비를 시작하였습니다.
김장배추 그리고 김장무를 유기농 텃밭에서 수확하였습니다.
양념준비로 텃밭에서 쪽파를 다듬고 갓나물도 채취하고 젓갈도 준비하였습니다.
배추를 씻어서 소금에 절이고 무를 썰어서 대기해 놓았습니다.
모든 준비를 하는데 3일이 걸렸습니다.
D-Day,
김장을 하는 날입니다.
설레이고 흥분하는 여색이 분명하였습니다.
카메라를 설치하고 폰으로 장면 장면들을 촬영하기도 했습니다.
본격적으로 배추를 버무리고 항아리에 넣고 마무리하기까지 집중하였습니다.
끝나고 나서 환호성을 울리며 춤을 추었습니다.
그렇게 기뻐하는 모습을 함께하면서 이런게 우핑이구나 했습니다.

Jesús Bronte (Spain) : I spent two wonderful weeks with Mrs Goo and Mr Jeong. At all times, they were friendly and kind with me, which I apprecited a lot.
For me it has been a real pleasure to volunteer here, with them. They are a very nice, lovely and endearing couple. They are very active and have a lot of energy. They are al ways doing something. If I reached their age, I would like to be like them!!
When it comes to the work done, this was varied and entertaining. The first day, I could see the process of planting rice, despite it was automatic, I had never seen before. Then we spent a couple of days weeding. Some days cutting grass (this was one of the main tasks), pruning trees, harvesting and chopping plums.
And one day, a nice family came to record us working.
Related to the food, this was just delicious and very healthy.
For all the above, for me it has been an incredible and unforgettable experience, and I recommend to volunteer here with them.
I think I will miss them a bit he he

Anaïs Quintin (France) : It was our 3rd WWOOFing experience with my sister. The place is so beautiful ! We had some good time there but in the end of the stay everything went wrong ! I don't really understant why, even now .
Mr and Mrs Go, are good people, but not very open-minded on some subjects.For the good side, we had a good welcomming, we learned a lot about nature and the work, even if it was hard, was pleasant ! Mrs Go is a great cook, the meals were delicious :) On first week we talked a lot about many things about their lifestyle and ecology, we laugh a lot and have fun times at work !
But at the end it was awful .Mr Go almost kicked us out in night time... and the reason was because my sister can't eat on the morning !
I was so shocked by the situation ! They always told us that we were like family, and that if we had ANY problems we have to tell them . And when we said to him that my little sister can't really eat on the morning because it make her sick... He shout on her telling her she had no respect for them and, quote: ""If our rules about the meals our about anything in the farm doesn't you you can leave now !""
My sister never cry but this time she did . We didn't say anything after that, and she forced herself to eat the breakfast, so she was always sick on the morning and had no choices but to be late (and we hate that) for work. By that time we were not considered as WWOOFers or family members but like workers . We didn't have the right to talk, to laugh and to rest anymore...It seems so unbelievable but I swear I don't exaggerate! This situation was so frustrating...
So I would advise other WWOOFers to come, yes, but only 1 week.

WWOOFer (Malaysia) : When I first came here, I never thought that I would fall in love with this farm and of course, with the owners. They treated us like family even though my friend and I were the 1st Muslims who came to their farm for WWOOFing. They always tried their best to provide us only with Halal foods.
Apart from doing tasks and activities in the farm, I was very happy that the owners let us to learn Korean cultures, lifestyles and also histories. By coming here, I learnt so many valuable things about agriculture and also memorable moments that I would not forget. Especially when I got the chance to meet so many kind people here.
You will have the chance to learn not only about organic farming but also about the life values that are beneficial for you to apply in your life. I wish to come here again in the future! :)

WWOOFer (Korea) : 봉사 및 배운다는 마음으로 평소와 다른 삶에 맞춰 지낸다는 생각을 먼저 하고 오신다면 본인 스스로에게 더욱 뜻깊은 시간이 될 것이라고 믿습니다. 나의 가족이라 생각하고 일을 돕는다면 함께 일하고 함께 준비하고 식사하고 정리하는 것 마저 삶의 보람을 느끼게 해 줍니다. 다르고 어렵다고 생각하기 보다는 어떻게 이런 친환경적인 삶을 유지하고 사시는 지 느끼는 것은 몸이 바로 알게 도와줍니다. 나이 성별 국적을 떠나 인간으로서 함께한다는 것이 무엇인지 알고 가는 계기가 될 것으로 믿어 의심치 않습니다.
If you think that you live a different life with the desire to serve and learn, I believe that it will be a more meaningful time for you. If you think of them as your family and help them with their work, it makes you feel rewarded for your life until you work together and prepare and organize your meals together. Rather than think differently and difficult, feeling how you live and maintain this eco-friendly life helps the body know right away. I don't doubt that it will be an opportunity to know what it is to be together as a human being, regardless of age, gender, nationality. Thanks.
