Descripción
In the Minervois midway between the beautiful cities of Narbonne and Carcassonne close by the Canal du Midi. Black Mountains to the north, Pyrenees to the south, beautiful beaches to the East, there really is so much to do here. I bought a bakery and am turning it into a craft brewery, with little help from the dog and two cats. That keeps me really busy so the gardening and building renovations (mainly just painting and decorating actually) are getting neglected. Also, lots of my customers speak English so my French isn't improving. If you can help out with any of these, or want to learn how to brew, this is a wonderful place to be! Lac de Jouarres, (swim/kayak/sunbathe) 15 minute walk. Minerve - ancient fortified capital and amazing geology 60 minute cycle. Mediaeval Carcassonne 22 minutes (1€) by train. Roman (and modern) Narbonne 13 minutes (1€) by train. Canal du Midi - 5 minute walk. Homps has 8 restaurants and a supermarket open 7 days a week! Olonzac has restaurants, shops, bars and a weekly market

I spent a month at Andrew's and had a really awesome experience. Andrew himself is very kind and easy to talk to (and a good cook). In the area there are many cities to visit, the canal to bike along, and places to go to by train for a good price. I felt very welcome and comfortable in his home and appreciated this after being on the go for 2… read more

Kelsey is a hard-working and easy guest to host. She stayed for a month and helped out at many summer markets and events, using her service skills in french, Spanish and Italian ! She also cleaned, painted and organized in the brewery and the house. If you want interesting, informed and engaging conversation she's there, if not she's happy to… read more

This was Catherine’s first experience as a workawayer and she took to everything with an open mind and a willing heart. Mountains of gardening didn’t deter her, she still had the energy to explore the local area and residents. As a brewer it was very interesting to learn from her knowledge and experience of yeasts and microbes. I see that she has… read more

Anne is good company and was a willing, hardworking help with all the work we did in the garden and brewery – including making molehills out of mountains and beer from ginger ! She’s a very unassuming guest, a demon card player but easy to host. With her friend she got to explore the local area, meet the residents and make good use of her French.

Mara is hardworking and willing to learn new things. She is very pleasant company and has a lot of travel experience. While she was here she happily helped with gardening and chores but mainly was invaluable in helping to set up (including building the stage) and host an evening concert. Would I host her again ? She’s already been back !

Anna is, literally, a team leader ! Always willing and interested to learn new things with enthusiasm. While she was here she happily helped with gardening and chores but mainly was invaluable in helping to set up (including building the stage) and host an evening concert. I hope that she gets the opportunity to visit again.

So lucky I got to experience my first Workaway in Homps! During my 3 weeks, I completed projects around the brewery, set up an event at the brewery, built a stage, explored the beautiful Minervois area, and got to try great beer with two amazing fellow workawayers. Andrew is an very generous host, and is very willing to share his knowledge of… read more

Danny and Blake are delightful, enthusiastic, intelligent, kind and helpful - a pleasure to host.
They were willing to help with anything asked of them (a wide variety as we were hosting a concert and art exhibition).
Blake's French is excellent, as is his knowledge of French history and culture. Danny didn't have a chance here to use is… read more

We had a great time with Andrew for almost 2 weeks. We helped him prepare for his fete with a Dutch blues band, food truck, and lots of beer. The work was very reasonable and Andrew was generous with great food and our time. We had a hard time leaving Pixie, the cat. The sweetest cat we've ever met!

One of the best parts was Minerve! It was the… read more

It was a pleasure to host Barend. He has an incredible number of skills and is always ready to learn new ones. He was a very helpful and companionable guest and very easy to host: he arrived, and slept, in his own van that comes complete with tools and equipment for any situation. He is very capable and motivated (I would only mention something… read more

Had a great time staying doing a workaway with Andrew.
I got to experience and do many things, learnt and tasted a lot about beer and brewing, got to go along to various french markets and festivals.
Overall a wonderful stay and workaway, where I was taken very well care of!

Flavia and Andreia are a very helpful, creative, and diligent pair of travellers.

We participate in different types of activities, such as events, help with social media, making illustrations, and also learn about a full process of making craft beer (very interesting). We also were very happy to suggest… read more

Why has nobody left any feedback for Valerie since 2013? She's done a lot of traveling since then. I think the other hosts must be still pinching themselves in disbelief at such a delightful and hardworking Workawayer. Valerie was only here for a week but she happily and willingly completed a wide variety of tasks. If she asks to come to stay with… read more

Undeterred by Covid travel complications Katharina came here for two weeks in July 2021. She is very kind and thoughtful. She helped out with many tasks including staging an event and at a market. I’m not sure that she used her psychology training but if you have a process that you think could be more efficient, ask her!

Claudette could serve as an ambassador for the workaway program!
There was nothing that she wasn’t willing to try, with enthusiasm, good humour (and great patience with my poor French) and if she didn’t have a task to hand she’d find one!
As my first workawayer her experience was invaluable in my learning how to be a good host.
