What people say about us

The Farm for Wellbeing is a place where you can relax into peace and calmness. I love the nature and the healing centre. I have participated in and facilitated events at the site and Joan and Urs make it so easy for you. There's great parking, great food, great company and nature's pace to guide you. I love it and look forward to going back again and again. It's the perfect place for retreats with the opportunity for staying over in dorms or camping.
