Farm work is fun!
Farm work abroad is very popular with our volunteers. In order to work on a farm in Africa, Asia, Latin America or Europe, you usually do not need any special previous knowledge. Find out in our article what awaits you on a farm stay, in which areas you can get involved and in which countries we are farm work offer. You will be amazed at how varied work in agriculture can be!
Are you the type of farm work?
Have you often worked in the garden, in the field or in the stable? Do you enjoy physical work outdoors? Then farm work is definitely the right thing for you! Depending on the area of use and the season, you sow and harvest vegetables, help with mowing, feed the farm animals or fish, make honey, plant trees and much more. In most of our projects, sustainable agriculture is practiced using modern methods, which is certainly very exciting for you.
What are the requirements for farm work?
You should of course enjoy being in nature and not have any problems getting dirty or working in bad weather. As in other projects, it is important in farm work that you are happy to get involved in new situations and that you want to learn continuously. You are guaranteed not only to take on work that you already know!
Previous agricultural knowledge is of course a plus, but in most farm projects it is not a requirement for the volunteer job. Furthermore, you should have good knowledge of English in order to be able to exchange ideas with your colleagues in the project. If you have the opportunity to learn a (further) national language on site, take the opportunity! Especially in rural areas, many people speak little or no English.
Which countries offer farm work?
We offer farm work with different focuses in several countries worldwide. Below are a few examples:

In Vietnam is organic farm work not very common as many farmers fear high costs and poor sales. Our sustainable, ecological farm wants to set a good example and break down prejudices. The farmers do not use plant or insecticides and feed on the farm's produce. The focus of the farm work is the daily care of the gardens and beds as well as the care of the animals. In addition, natural pesticides are made from herbs and used to control pests.
