Description
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.
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.
Please message us with some information about your plan.
For examples:
1. Days you want to stay, such as 15/10/2023~15/11/2023.
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?

Lots of laughs. Their outlook on life is very… read more

We spent two weeks with Jo and Jeong Seon at their wonderful little farm in the Korean highlands. Loved the place from the first sight. Before coming to their farm we didn't know much about farming (especially organic), but they shared so much knowledge and wisdom and taught us really a lot!

I would give this host 10 stars if there's such an option. For me, staying with Jo-sshi and Jeong Seon-sshi is the perfect embodiment of what workaway is all about-- creating a friendship with the host and experiencing their way of life, while learning and being immersed with the local culture and heritage, language, environment, and good food! :D… read more

I sincerely thank Jeong Seon and Mr Jo deeply for the experience they gave me. They really are an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others on how to live a happy life following a simple one, which in today's society many people are completely ignorant to. I learned a lot about the many aspects of rural korean culture, society and day to day life… read more

Oliver was the amazing volunteers.
He had been always ready to help, made a bright and positive atmosphere.
He picked things up quickly by just watching at once.
At the time spent together it is really pleasant and we miss him.
And the vegetables he planted grow up very well!

Andrea is very friendly and helping for many things. She is no fussy with food, accommodation, and any farm work. Even when her hands became very black coloring after walnut harvesting, she still smiled. I'm sorry about that... ㅠ ㅠ
Thank you very much everything! (specially amazing her tortilla!)

The time I spent in their farm was the best experience I had in Korea. They are truly amazing people: warm, kind, fun and very interesting. Everything on their farm is worth to mention, the lovely place, the food and of course the company. I hope I could meet them again soon, it was such a fun time!
