Hello to you,
My goal is to awaken and develop my newly bought little now renovated farm on at least 5 ha privately owned land and vineyard in the Languedoc South of France. I (45 year old, French/English/Dutch mother of 10 year old son) also own a lovely villa with pool, at 15 minutes away from the farm. I currently own 7 horses for private use. My love for horses has made me breed with my late beautiful black Spanish Menorcan stallion in the past. I now enjoy his offspring stallion, 2 mares and 2 foals of the same breed. Together with a PRE, an Arab/Quarter horse mix, a Shetland from a friend and 6 mini Shetlands all staying at the farm and in the vineyards! At the moment I'm into carriage training with them. I have good dressage and natural horsemanship skills as actively into horses since the age of 16. The farm is really remote, ideal for horse riding. I'm happy to share, enjoying this private farmstead and its animals, developing this little gem, with ecologically conscious ideas where artistic creativity is more than welcome. Looking to exchange your experience, knowledge and skills at our this little paradise into a farm with horses, mini ponies and other animals (cat, 2 dogs, peacocks, chicken and the animal family is still growing), lovely vegetable garden, natural water, pool and solar energy. Living this journey with the help of nicely cooked meals, playing music, dance and other art.

I had a very nice stay with Aijuna. I stayed for 6 weeks. When I arrived I stayed in her house for a few days, the house is very cosy. There you have your own room and wifi, the villa also has a great pool! I later moved to the farm, which I preferred because I wanted to be closer to the horses. The farm is secluded in the middle of vineyards,… read more

I stayed at Ajunjas farm for three weeks in July and I enjoyed my time there very much. I painted walls and window blinds, took care of her beautiful horses and helped to create a vegetable garden. There was a reasonable amount of work and the hours were flexible. The farm is surounded by beautiful vineyards and nature, perfect for riding. Ajunja… read more

We stayed at this work away for 5 weeks and overall it was fun but challenging. The first week, we had to adapt to living on the farm with no electricity and no water. Although collecting over 120 litres of water every day from a source seems like a lot of water, you learn that we use a lot more water than we think. The work from the first week… read more consisted of taking the horses out to graze, mucking out horse manure from their paddocks, and hand-pulling out weeds to start the vegetable garden. We also enjoyed a sustainable fashion show event on the weekend which was lovely!
On the second week, we asked to stay at the host’s house as we needed a bit of internet and a good shower, and she kindly let us stay for a week. We also asked to include meat into the meals which was kindly accepted. As for the work, we pulled out weeds from the host’s garden at her house, we removed rocks and dug into the ground to prepare a terrace for cement, we built wooden frames, pushed hay bales up a hill, and organised a manure pile for future compost. At the end of the week, one of the workawayers left early and a new person arrived.
The third week, we started doing cement work. This was very challenging as we were three women with no experience. Although it was quite physical and tiring, we managed to figure it out but we did make errors. On the other hand, we also made fires to burn excess wood to clear a paddock, pushed another hay bale up a hill, we created a new paddock for the pregnant mares, and did some riding on our free time. On the weekend, we went to two live band events which was nice.
The fourth week, the weather got better, we continued to do cement, and one of the fowls was born.
The last week, we cut branches, burnt more wood, and cleared a paddock of manure. We did a lot of horseriding the last two weeks which was amazing.
Overall, there were ups and downs and as long as your expectations are communicated to the host about food and the hours of work you would like to do per day, you will enjoy your stay. No day was the same as the previous one, there is a lack of structure especially around time schedules, but over time you learn to be flexible with work and eating schedules. I would also suggest to count the hours yourself. However, the peace that you feel being in nature was very healing and made it an unforgettable experience.

I stayed two weeks with Aijuna. One week on the farm and one week in her villa. Living on the farm will teach you to value water as you'll help to get a part of it. Especially in our modern society that is an experience everyone should make. I lived very close to nature and the horses. In the morning you'll hear no traffic, just birds. I helped… read more

Sandra:
We stayed for two weeks with Aijuna for our first workaway experience. My daughter needed to do an internship for high school for two weeks. To give her a special experience instead of doing the common we decided to work in an other country together. And it was such an amazing experience.

We are so grateful that Aijuna offered us this… read more opportunity. We were invited to stay at her house and we could rent her car to be mobile by ourselves.
She is so hospitable. We felt so welcome. It was not only working but we were also able to experience a part of her live. We got to meet her friends, we were invited to parties, we eat pizza, we went to a local concert and yoga.

Working at the farm was also a good experience. She does such a good job over there. I admire her perseverance. She works really hard and she also expect it from the workawayers. So we worked hard. But in between there was also the possibility to do some lighter work. Some of our work was helping to clear a piece of land from dead trees, wood, brambles etc. To create a new place for the mares near the farm. We helped taking care of the horses. We helped and learned how to prune the wineyard which was really nice to learn and to do.
Lunch and diner we prepared together at the farm or in the villa.

In our free time we explored the area. Aijunas niece was staying with her and she joined us which was really nice. Also because my daughter and she got along very well and had a lot of fun.

We would love to come back in the near future. Thanks Aijuna, Mila and Roman for the wonderful time and for your friendship ❤️

Norell:
I stayed at this farm for 2 weeks, together with my mom. The hospitality was very nice, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. Aijuna is a strong women who does what she sets her mind to. A true role model when it comes to hardwork. commitment to her goals and aspirations served as an inspiration throughout my stay. I got to take care of the horses and ride, but also a lot of other more physical activities. I met a lot of amazing people because Aijuna gave us the opportunity to take a look in the local life here. She took us to parties hosted by her friends or herself, to eat pizza and a concert. I am usually the type of person to become a bit homesick. But ajiunna really made me feel like I was at home. definitely a experience I will cherish.

I stayed only a few days and decided to leave. The place is nice, the horses beautiful and Aijuna has great knowledge in that domain. My feeling is that she chose to have too many workawayers (10!) when the house was not yet ready to hold so many people (no running water, no electricity, nobody but workawayers living in the house). I'm sure that… read more

I feel so incredibly grateful to have spent a piece of my summer here with Aijuna, Jeremie, and Roman. I was here for the month of August, and wish that I could have stayed longer. This was my first workaway, and I couldn’t have been happier with it. The work was varied enough to keep every day interesting, but also constant enough to allow me to… read more

The experience with Aijuna and Jeremie has been amazing, they are both lovely, welcoming, gentle and caring people, there's always something interesting to discover from them!
The horses are lovely and beautiful, and I had the chance to learn how to train dressage, ride and take care of them. Aijuna is really passionate about it, and if you share… read more
