Beschreibung
Hello Workawayers, we run a small scale organic farm in the countryside of southern part in Korea. After having to live as a busy city-dweller, we began farming in the countryside, aspiring for a happier life. We practice Korean traditional organic farming, which is high-mix low-volume production. Also, We deal and communicate directly with the consumers. We started organic farming in 2005.
If you would like to volunteer at our farm, please read our farm introduction carefully until the end and then contact us. In particular, the minimum stay is one month. We do not accept short-term stayers.
Organic farming is a very valuable thing to protect the environment. But farming is quite tough physically. You have to touch the soil, shovel, and do hard physical work. Volunteer work would not be easy.
However, We're also always making balance between work, play, and relax time. the joy of working in such a beautiful scenery and clean air is worth everything. During winter we often travel abroad like you, so we'd love to share stories as a travelers as well
The help depends on which season you come...(below)
SPRING: Add compost to the field, weeding, seeding, harvesting wild vegetables,
making tea, planting potatoes, Chinese cabbage, harvesting broccoli, etc.
SUMMER: Growing, harvesting, and packing tomato, potato, cabbage, garlic, lettuce, broccoli, herb, etc.
FALL: Making kimchi, Growing, harvesting, and packing peanut, sweet potato, corn, soy bean, cauliflower, egg plant, herbs, etc.
We want to meet not only those who are interested in Korea, but also volunteers who are interested in nature, organic farming and eco friendly living.
We don't accept smoker and digital nomad. You are not allowed to use perfume while you are here. And it would be much better if you learn Hangul before coming here. Hangul is the Korean alphabet, and anyone can learn it easily in about two hours.
We accept volunteers from March 15th to November 15th. Winter is cold in Korea, so we can't do farming.
Please message us with some information about your plan.
For examples:
1. Days you want to stay, such as 15/10/2025~15/11/2025.
Tell us your plan, we prefer you to confirm your dates first. Then we shall discuss the overall schedule during your stay.
- Minimum of staying : 1 month ~ Maximum of staying : 5 weeks
2. Why do you want to come? and What may you want to learn about us?
- When we accept you. We will send you a detail information about how to get to our home, our phone numbers, address in English and Korean. And, If you need assistance or more information please revert.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten
