두 호스트분들과 함께해서 짧지만 정말 행복한 시간이었습니다. 강아지와 함께 가게 되었는데 안타깝게도 강아지가 가진 병의 증상이 심해져서 치료를 위해 집으로 급히 돌아오게 되었습니다. 짧은 스테이였지만 가족처럼 대해주셔서 정말 따뜻했고 편안했습니다. 방은 정말 따뜻했고 개인 공간으로서 완벽했습니다. 난로에 둘러앉아, 또는 저녁을 먹으며 나누는 대화가 좋았습니다. 나중에 날씨도 따뜻해지고, 강아지가 안정되거나 맡길 곳이 생기면 꼭 다시 와서 길게 지내며 농장의 이런저런 일들에 기여하고 싶습니다. 조금이나마 도움이 되었길 바라면서, 아쉬움은 뒤로 하고 다음 기회를 기다려보겠습니다!

겨울에 저의 첫 우프 활동을 이 곳에서 시작할 수 있었습니다! 강원도의 겨울은 영하 기온까지 떨어지지만 호스트님의 배려로 저의 방은 24시간 따뜻했습니다. 파머컬처와 치유농업에 대해 열정적으로 지식을 공유하는데 뛰어나신 분이었습니다. 집을 짓는 과정부터 어떻게 이 일을 시작했는지 다양한 이야기를 들으며 훌륭한 마인드도 배워볼 수 있었어요.
우퍼의 업무에 관해서는 겨울이라 아름다운 정원을 직접 가꾸어 보지는 못했지만 주로 장작을 패거나 난로를 교체하는 등 힘쓰는 일을 도우며 추운 날씨에도 건강한 땀을 흘릴 수 있었습니다. 이곳 호스트님의 겸손함과 우퍼를 대하는 태도에 의미있고 성공적인 첫 우프 활동을 기록할 수 있었기에 정말 기쁩니다.

What a fantastic first WWOOFing experience! From the moment they pick you up at the local bus stop, Heajoung and YungTek treat you like family. Meals are eaten together, family style, and it’s a great chance to experience Korean cuisine the home-cooked way. Heajoung is a lifelong student always asking cultural questions and working on her English. As a novice Korean speaker, she was an excellent teacher who knows you have to speak the language to learn it. On the farm, we did a variety of tasks - harvesting seeds, creating raised beds, and processing various plants for homemade kimchi and banchan. Heajoung is careful to make this work educational, explaining elements of permaculture, traditional cuisine, and horticultural therapy along the way. We got to serve tea to Korean elders, help school children with a plant therapy project, and visit the local city for an apple festival. YungTek leads by example with his strong work ethic and subtle sense of humor. Making a fire for the ondal to heat the room for the night was a deeply rooting experience. I can’t wait to visit them again sometime.

My stay here was exactly what i dreamed of! It felt like I was entering Ghibli film, where I could heal, learn and rejuvenate myself away from the bustle of city life. 이모님& 아저씨 were very warm and kind, helping me whenever I needed and I learnt a lot about different herbs, plants and flowers. The experience has inspired me to practice more sustainability habits and learn more about permaculture too. I also got to learn about Korean culture, and I feel so blessed to be able to discover more about my Korean roots while chatting with 이모. I already miss the days where we would chat about various things, immersing myself in nature, playing with 마음이 and the cats, but most importantly being able to learn and grow myself.
Thank you so much for taking care of me and guiding me so patiently even though I may lack in some areas of farm experience and physical abilities. I truly enjoyed this and I would definitely come back whenever I am in Korea. 늘 건강하세요! 🥰

What an incredible stay! Our hosts exceeded our expectations, welcoming us into their lives and their project at every moment. We wanted to immerse ourselves in their project, and this was made possible thanks to the immense generosity, kindness, and goodwill of our two hosts. Sharing moments of daily life beyond the daily tasks was a great source of joy for us. The work tasks were varied and fun, with the constant opportunity to contribute our added value and suggest additional steps, which were always listened to and well received. A huge thank you for this experience, which we left delighted and which we recommend to anyone who wants to experience authenticity.

I was fortunate to spend two unforgettable weeks on the farm, which became a truly special experience for me. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly comfortable in the warm, family-like, and open atmosphere.
My main tasks were centered around permaculture work – digging and preparing garden beds, picking flowers, drying and packaging them, and helping with various other gardening activities. Heajoung explained and showed everything to me with so much enthusiasm. This gave me the opportunity not only to work hands-on but also to learn about the garden, the plants, and the small, everyday things in life. Despite occasional language barriers, we shared many meaningful conversations, and her curiosity and openness were always the beginning of inspiring exchanges. Beyond the garden work, we cooked together, spent time with each other, and I had the chance to experience Korean life up close – through her stories, a few outings, or our Sunday church visit. Through this, I not only learned new things but also found friends for life.
The farm itself is a beautiful place, located right by the river where we could swim on warm days. The diversity of plants and the natural surroundings make it a truly special spot that I will always carry in my memory.
I want to sincerely thank you for the warm welcome, the respect, and all the wonderful moments we shared. This time was really enriching for me, and I will take it with me as a precious memory. I hope that we will meet soon again!
