✅ 호스트 소개 및 자유로운 농장소개 : 안녕하세요, 제 이름은 오울림입니다. 저는 30대 여성이고, 한국 전라남도 해남에서 부모님과 함께 유기농 차밭을 운영하고 있습니다. 저희는 1997년부터 농약과 화학비료를 전혀 쓰지 않는 자연농법을 지켜오며, 자연과 가까운 삶을 실천해 왔습니다. 프로필 사진은 저희 부모님이며, 연락과 소통은 딸인 저 오울림이 담당할 예정입니다. 저희 다원은 단순한 차밭이 아니라, 씨앗부터 차나무를 키워 녹차, 발효차, 쑥차, 목련꽃차, 떡차 등 다양한 차를 만들고, 한옥스테이, 찻집, 전통문화 체험까지 운영하는 공간입니다. 어머니는 판소리, 풍물, 사물놀이 같은 한국 전통 음악 체험도 진행하여, 방문하시는 분들이 자연과 전통문화를 함께 경험할 수 있도록 돕고 계십니다. 가족은 저와 부모님, 그리고 순하고 사람을 잘 따르는 강아지 두 마리 영심이(10살)와 아롱이(7살)(모녀 강아지)와 함께 살고 있습니다. ★★2026년에는 어머니가 안식년으로 자리를 비우셔서, 아버지와 제가 함께 모든 일을 운영할 예정입니다.★★ 저희는 농사만 하는 곳이 아니라, 삶 전체를 자연과 함께하는 방식으로 운영합니다. 농약·비료를 쓰지 않고, 제철 식재료 위주의 식사를 하며, 기계 사용을 최소화하고, 손으로 하는 작업을 많이 합니다. 이곳에서의 시간이 자연에 기대어 사는 삶을 느끼고, 경험하고, 돌아보는 시간이 되기를 바랍니다. 저희 차나무는 모두 씨앗부터 키운 나무이며, 생태적 공존을 위해 여러 나무와 풀, 꽃들과 함께 자랍니다. 우리는 토양의 생명력과 생태계의 균형을 가장 중요하게 생각하며, 자연이 회복하는 속도에 맞춰 농사짓는 철학을 가지고 있습니다. 이런 방식은 시간과 정성이 많이 들지만, 그만큼 깊고 순한 맛의 차와 느린 시간을 함께 나눌 수 있게 해줍니다. 우퍼 숙소는 차밭에서 도보 2분 거리에 있습니다. 상황에 따라 방이 바뀔 수 있으며, 보통은 우퍼 전용 독립 공간이지만 가끔은 다른 사람과 쉐어할 수도 있습니다. 전통적인 분위기 속에서 자연을 느끼며 지낼 수 있는, 조용하고 편안한 숙소입니다. ★★우리는 최소 2주 이상 머물 수 있는 우퍼와 함께하며, 장기간 머무는 우퍼를 더 선호합니다.★★ ✅ 농업을 시작한 년도 : 1991년 ✅ 농장 형태 : 가족농이면서 체험교육농장 ✅ 농장 주작물 : 녹차와 쑥, 목련 등 ✅ 친환경 농업에 대한 실천 : 2002년 부터 유기재배 인증 2005년 부터 유기 가공 인증을 받았고 지속적으로 실천하고 있어요. ✅ 생��에서 친환경 실천 사항 : 적게 먹고 적게 쓰고 바르게 사용. ✅ 호스트 외 만날 수 있는 구성원 : 가끔 둘째딸 ✅ 농장에서 만나는 반려 동물 : 강아지 2마리 ✅ 우퍼가 하는일 : 이곳에서의 생활은 자연의 리듬에 맞춰 조용히 흘러갑니다. 우퍼가 참여하게 되는 활동은 계절에 따라 조금씩 다르지만, 주로 다음과 같습니다: 차밭 관리 (제초, 정리, 간단한 돌봄 등) 차 생산 과정 보조 (수확, 선별, 포장 등) 체험 프로그램 및 찻집 운영 보조 숙소 및 공용 공간 청소 공용 수건, 이불 커버 빨래 체험 보조 (다도 체험, 숲 체험 등) 함께 일하며 교류하는 시간이 이곳에서는 가장 소중한 배움의 순간이 되곤 합니다. ✅ 선호하는 우퍼상 : 장기간 우핑이 가능한 우퍼, 차분하고 맡은 일을 잘하는 우퍼 ✅ 우퍼에게 당부 메세지 : 일은 해치우는 것이 아니라 정성을 들이는 것이다. 특별한 기술이 필요하지는 않으며, 자연과 함께하는 삶을 배우고 싶은 마음이 가장 중요합니다. ✅ 숙소에서 와이파이 가능여부 : 가능 ✅ 술, 담배 가능여부 : 간헐적 외부 흡연, 및 음주 가능 ✅ 호스트와 식사여부 : 하루 세끼를 함께 먹습니다. 아침: 간단한 샐러드나 요거트, 과일 등 가벼운 식사 점심·저녁: 함께 만들어가는 식탁으로 모두가 요리를 하고 나눕니다. 보통은 지역에서 난 좋은 농산물과 제철 재료로 만든 집밥 스타일의 한식 반찬과 밥 (채식이나 알레르기가 있는 경우 미리 알려주시면 조정 가능합니다.) ✅ 영어소통 : 기본적인 소통 가능 ✅ 일주일 기준 우핑시간 : 하루6시간 주6일 - 날씨나 상황에 따라 달라질 수 있습니다. ======== English explanation ========== ✅ Year farming started: 1991 ✅ Farm type: Family farm + educational/experience farm ✅ Main crops: Green tea, mugwort, magnolia (and other seasonal plants) ✅ Eco-friendly farming practice: We have practiced organic farming consistently. We received organic cultivation certification in 2002 and organic processing certification in 2005, and we continue to follow these standards. ✅ Eco-friendly lifestyle: We try to eat less, use less, and use things properly. ✅ Other people you may meet (besides the host): Sometimes my younger sister (the second daughter) visits. ✅ Animals on the farm: Two dogs. ✅ WWOOFer tasks: Life here follows nature’s rhythm and stays quiet and calm.

No special skills are required.

Hello, my name is Ulrim Oh. I am a woman in my 30s, and I run an organic tea farm with my parents in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. Since 1997, we have followed natural farming with no pesticides and no chemical fertilizers, living in a way that stays close to nature. The profile photo shows my parents. I, Ulrim, will be the main person for contact and communication. Our farm is more than a tea field. We grow many teas from seed, including green tea, fermented tea, mugwort tea, magnolia flower tea, and tteok tea. We also run a hanok stay, a small tea house, and traditional culture experiences. My mother leads programs in Korean traditional music, such as pansori, pungmul, and samulnori, so visitors can experience both nature and Korean culture. Our family includes my parents and me, plus two gentle dogs: Youngsim (10) and Arong (7), a mother-and-daughter pair. In 2026, my mother is on a sabbatical, so my father and I will manage everything together. We do not only farm—we live with nature every day. We avoid pesticides and fertilizers, focus on seasonal food, use machines as little as possible, and do much of the work by hand. We hope your time here helps you slow down, feel nature closely, and reflect on daily life. All our tea trees are grown from seed, and they grow with many other plants—trees, grasses, and flowers—to support biodiversity. We care most about healthy soil and a balanced ecosystem, and we farm at a pace that matches nature’s recovery. This takes time and effort, but it creates tea with a deep, gentle taste—and a slower, calmer rhythm of life to share. The WWOOF accommodation is about a 2-minute walk from the tea fields. The room may change depending on the situation. Usually it is a separate space for WWOOFers, but sometimes it may be shared. It is a quiet and comfortable place with a traditional atmosphere, where you can rest and feel close to nature. ★★We accept WWOOFers who can stay at least two weeks, and we prefer long-term stays.★★

This was a perfect first WOOFing experience! The atmosphere was calm, the farm was beautiful, and everyone was so kind. I didn't expect to experience so much culture in my three weeks, but I am so happy that I did. And I got to drink some of the best tea I've ever had. The work was also very rewarding and easy-going. I found a real inner-peace during my time. Thank you for such a lovely time! I hope to return someday soon.

I had a wonderful two weeks at Seoladawon ! In such a short time, I learnt so much about tea, about the region and its dialect, meditation etc... Everyday was so full of new experiences that it felt like a whole month. The place is gorgeous, it's easy to go hiking or biking on your day off, or even stay on the premises and have a nice walk near the river. I want to thank again the hosts for taking the time to teach us so much and take us to different places. Wwoofing is really not only about farm work, but also discovering a new culture.

It was like a fairy tale, but for real. I learned how to live again here. The whole family is incredibly kind: the parents, the two daughters, and the dogs. And I mean it: everyone, without exception, was unparalleled in their kindness. Ulrim told me it would be a good experience for me. She was right. It was even more than that: I had a wonderful life here for a month. The place is spectacularly beautiful with the magnificent colors of the tea fields stretching as far as the eye can see over Duryunsan. You will learn about the different types of tea grown, their harvest periods, tea cultivation and maintenance methods, the tea ceremony, traditionnal Korean music, the Korean language, and more. Your tasks will include picking tea flowers and seeds, weeding, cutting tea leaves, packaging tea, and sometimes cleaning the rooms of the hanok/minbak. The work was never stressful or difficult. You have time to have a rest. This family works hard, and it was a pleasure to meet them. The homemade food is incredible. I made some friends in the village and surrounding area. You will hear traditional songs, meditate, learn, and meet new people. I had some great conversations and a lot of fun. I experienced a feeling there that I hadn't felt in a long time : happiness. I don't even know how to thank the family. 정말로요 ! I enjoyed every second of my life here. I highly recommend it. We must support them. I miss them already. Thank you for bringing joy into my life.

I had an amazing 2 weeks at Seola Dawon ! The work wasn't too hard and I loved working with tea smells. They always make sure you get rest and breaks with frequent snack and tea time. From the beginning you become part of the farm's daily life and they make sure you get the most interesting experiences during your stay. I was for example able to go to the region's tea festival and they kindly took me to Wando as I really wanted to visit it. Thank you for all the memories, I will be very happy to visit again !

It was my first time and I don’t think I could have gotten a better place than this beautiful green tea farm. The workload was manageable , fun and educational. I loved how much I learnt about Korea, its culture and about tea and its life cycle. Not only that but about farming and the responsibilities that come with it. Ulim also was a great friend and an amazing businesswoman, I learned so much through our conversations and when I was helping her. The family allowed me to become a member easily and helped me with everything. I will never forget this experience and I think about it almost daily still. I hope to come back again and again.

I went to this farm as a first time WWOOFer, slightly nervous about the people I would meet, but this place was amazing. I was in S. Korea for 3 months, and by far this was my favourite experience, and perhaps one of the best experiences of my life so far. The family here are so kind and wonderful to talk to, teaching me about life and tea culture. The tea farm itself is so beautiful and fragrant. The memories I have of sunrise walks followed by fresh green tea and a chat will never be forgotten, not will the kindness of my hosts. Thank you! :)
