With Stephan and Penny you are made part of the family /team. So interesting to see and be part of a working farm with all the amusing and difficult things that confront S and P every day. Thanks so much for making me feel so welcome.

Rolland was an excellent worker, he took on the challenge to clear our very untidy garage then realised he was better suited to extend our back area off of the kitchen he worked on his own giving us information of any materials needed, he also sourced materials from around the farm, he was very polite & ate well, he is welcome anytime thankyou… read more

I had a great time with Penny and Stefan, she is a great cook and he is an amazing source of farming knowledge. I shall miss all the animals on the farm. Hope your retirement goes well!
I would have stayed longer except for the French and English lockdown spoiling everything

Our experiences with Luzia were very positive, we did not make a cow girl out of her; she gave a helping hand in the parlour milking to start then realised it was not her best skill, so with another workaway they cleared the back kithchen/sitting area , pressure washing & staining all the furniture, she helped me prepping for chutneys, jellies &… read more

I spend the best week ever at Steve’s en Penny’s farm in Normandy. I could do a lot of different things which I love: baking, cleaning, painting, knitting and sewing. So never a dull moment! The farm is very peaceful at the end of a lane with the cows, sheep, cats, dogs, turkeys, hens and geese and last but not least two lovely people that spoiled… read more

I spent 3 weeks with Penelope and Stephen. It was an absolutely unique experience for me as a former farmer. I’ve got a lot of new information about farming in Normandy. I do love cows and rural life and it was the right place for me. There wasnt much to do at that time, so I had a lot of time for walking and reading. Penelope is a brilliant cook.… read more

Staying at Pennys and Stephans farm was my first workaway experience - and a really great one! I learned a lot about farming, milk production, chickens, sheep and so on - even learned how to drive a tractor, while staying with another workawayer when the hosts were gone for a week. We had really interesting conversations about farming, I am glad… read more

Sally spent a week with Stephan & myself, she achieved an immense amount of re-organising; de-cluttering a very dynamic person & although she says she is a city lady, the milking parlour beckoned & Stephan had a new helper, we both welcome Sally's presence on our farm anytime!!

I had an amazing week of living in and experiencing farm life with all the cows, sheep, dogs, cats, mud and milking that comes with it. As a "city girl", it was a big change and my experience at this Workaway was memorable and special. Penny and Stephen are friendly, kind, considerate and great hosts. I helped Penny in the house with a little… read more

We had a great time at Stephan en Penny's place! For our son Mats it was perfect, getting the cows in for milking in the morning and play with the grandchildren (who came over for a holiday visit). With Penny they baked cakes and made butter from milk of their own cows. Jacolien was useful with housekeeping and mowing the lawn and Dennis repaired… read more

This workaway is brilliant ! I have loved every minute working on the farm, helping with building the sheep tunnel and with repairs and maintenance around the farmyard. Couldn't get a more friendly couple to host and the food is second to none! I will be sorry to leave but I know I will be back next year, who wouldn't !!
Thankyou Penelope and… read more
