Is this a good one?

Against others of its kind: At $115 a day this sits a little under the $136 median for farm, food & drink. It is cheaper than 10 of the 18 farm, food & drink options mapped here.
When to go: Workable across 6 months of the year — Oct-Mar. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.
How long it really takes: Most people give it 10 days, but the honest range is 3 to 30. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.

Compare this against
