I am an English teacher in primary school. I live in Bac Giang city with my family but I have a farm in my countruside where my parents live and do there. I want to make organic farm to serve our daily life and educate the children about farm, living skills for kids and make international communication environment for kids, too. You can usually find me out feeding organic vegetables, clean atmosphere with paddy field and hill. We raise animal and plant fruit trees and the other healthy products, too. You can work together, plant vegetables, fruit tree and take care our garden. On addition, you can help the children understanding about organic environment or take part in some activities with them, too. We eat 3 meals together with products that we plant, grow and make. We have a bulgalow and full of accommodations there. I like travelling, cooking and reading books. We can go hiking, go swimming and the other activities in the other places at the weekend when we have time. According to the local police, WWOOFing constitutes a "grey area." It's still considered labor, not a tourist visa. Therefore, to be legal, you should voluntarily share a small portion of the daily food and utility costs with the homeowner. This would be legal under the "experiential tourism" model and would be risk-free for both of us. I'd like to ask for your opinion on this matter. Do you agree? Just $5-7 per day. You can find more information on this on Google; we only want to comply with the law and have no ill intentions. If you use work visa or labor visa, free for all. Please understand it. Thanks a lot

La ferme est très belle et les hôtes très accueillants. Les repas sont très bons. Nous dormons dans un logement partagé avec les autres woofers qui sert également de lieu de jeu pour les enfants durant la journée. Malheureusement, nous ne sommes restés que 24h car mon conjoint était malade et que nous souffrions trop de la chaleur.

My boyfriend and I stayed on the farm for 7 days: arriving on a thursday evening and leaving the next wednesday evening. We went in May and it was hot and humid, 32-36 degrees Celsius. There is no air conditioning, there are fans though. We worked a total of 5 hours of manual labour during our stay, I think probably due to the heat. The hosts don't speak English, so we use a lot of Google translate and charades for instructions of tasks. The grandma makes breakfast and brings it up to the volunteer house around 8am, but otherwise we cook our own meals with help and instruction from the grandma (almost all the food comes from the farm). Most of the work was entertaining children. Almost every evening during the weekday, kids between 3-10 years old showed up at the volunteer house to practice their english through conversation and games. The weekend we were there we taught a more formal English class for 2hrs both Saturday and sunday (we are not professional teachers) and the students barely knew english and could not speak in sentences - unlike the other kids who come on week days that know how to speak some English. The farm has a couple bikes you can borrow, the closest town is about a 15min walk if you don't want to bike. In our free time we played cards, read, napped, and chatted with other volunteers on the farm from Scotland, France, Germany, and Belgium. The hardest part about being on the farm was not knowing if or when we would be asked to work. The morning work h...

I had a wonderful time at Pham’s farm with her parents and all the volonteers. Between learning new recipes, working in the field and discovering the neighbourhood, my time in the farm was absolutely awesome! I really loved how calm is the place and how, even if they don’t speak English, we could share some memories with the owners of the farm. I will absolutely recommend this place 🫶🏼

I spent the first two days in town and a further 10 days on the farm. I was given a very warm welcome everywhere I went! My main task was to teach English to the less privileged children in the neighbourhood. This is a private initiative run by the family, and I find it truly admirable! The meals were very varied, with vegetables and fruit from the garden, fish from their own pond and, of course, rice that grows right on the doorstep. We almost always cooked together, so I learnt a great deal. A very special thank you goes to BA. She prepared a herbal bath for me every evening because I’d developed hives even before I arrived. Medicinal plants are also grown on the farm. The farm is in a beautiful location; everything is wonderfully green! In this area, there are many kites in the sky, and the strings produce a warm sound. This creates a special atmosphere! I had a lot of fun with both the children and the grandparents and will cherish this time as a special treasure in my heart. Thank you!!!

I was wonderfully welcomed by the whole family, with a special mention for the grandparents we live with every day, who are incredibly kind and generous. The work is varied and keeps each day interesting, from planting to garden maintenance, and I learned a lot throughout the experience. Sharing meals is definitely a highlight, we cook together for lunch and dinner, and the food prepared by the family is absolutely delicious, creating really warm and friendly moments. There is also a lively atmosphere around the farm, with the regular presence of the family’s children and those from the neighborhood. It was an authentic and human experience, thanks!

I really enjoyed my stay here! Staying the grandparents on the farm provided a really unique and authentic opportunity to experience daily life in Vietnam. We worked for a couple hours in the morning and then had a break after lunch before working for another couple hours before dinner. Tasks included planting, shoveling soil, cooking, and cleaning. I also taught a couple improvised English classes to neighbor kids. It felt very apparent that there are strong gender roles regarding the work, and I was often told to wash the dishes or help cook meals instead of shovel or do other forms of work. With that said, everything we ate was from the farm and very delicious and fresh, so it was fun to learn how to cook many local dishes. The sleeping quarters are simple but I was quite comfortable and it can be very peaceful. My only complaint is that the volunteers sleeping area also is used a kids play house and was not at all private. All of the kids are very sweet, but it was challenging the lack of boundaries between the volunteer space and where the kids played loudly (such as when we were all trying to rest)… With that said, it was also special and fun to experience living around a multi generational family/community. Min and her family are incredibly kind and generous. I left the farm feeling much more at peace and rested than when I showed up. I would definitely recommend this, especially if you enjoying spending time with kids!
