Fue una experiencia enriquecedora en muchos aspectos, el estar en un lugar rodeado de naturaleza viviendo el día a día de una persona que se dedica a la granja es algo que deja huella. Es un trabajo que en algunos momentos puede ser pesado, pero con compañeros se puede llegar a cabo sin problema. Lo recomiendo si buscan tener nuevas experiencias y otras formas de ver la vida!

La estancia con la granja fue realmente buena. Más allá de un líder de voluntariado, fue también alguien con quien poder hablar de muchas cosas y que mostraba preocupación por el bienestar de cada uno. Sobre el trabajo, no es especialmente difícil pero hay días en los que hay muchos y otros los que menos, son trabajos sobretodo físicos pero soportables por cualquiera con un poco de forma física y si no, la granja es bastante comprensivo y atiende a las diversidades de cada individuo. Es un trabajo duro y crea conciencia de la dureza de la vida de un pastor. Lo recomiendo si se está mentalizado

El voluntariado está en un lugar hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza y con animales especiales, como cabras, perros y gatos, con quienes fue enriquecedor compartir tiempo. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia no fue lo esperado por la falta de cercanía y comunicación del anfitrión. Las explicaciones de las tareas no siempre fueron claras, y en algunos casos, las reacciones no fueron adecuadas. Tampoco sentimos una verdadera conexión con el anfitrión, lo que nos llevó a irnos antes de lo acordado. Creemos que este tipo de experiencias requiere de un buen ambiente. De todas formas agradezco lo aprendido.

Left a week early due to allergies Work is physically demanding as expected tasks included moving fences feeding and milking goats cleaning hay and poop Milking and bottle feeding baby goats was not always easy but rewarding Communication was sometimes tricky due to the language barrier Not everyone will be fully prepared and that's okay The point is to learn see if it's for you and I encourage trying Food was great accommodation was good Bring waterproof gear and work gloves Safe but expect long hours unpredictable conditions and lots of physical work

Staying at La Servaja with the farm and Eva was an unforgettable experience. My help was appreciated, and I fully immersed myself in farm life. The work is intense—expect to work more than stated on the profile, with no rest days if you agree, as the animals need daily care. I learned so much, and the experience was incredibly rewarding. If you love animals and are ready for real farm life, this is the place for you!

My stay at the farm and Eva's farm was extraordinary. I enjoyed every day and everyone - from people to animals ;) they are incredible hosts, they not only are available for you to find your place in their daily routine, but also open to share their lifestyle and values, and masterchef level meals ;) Having to deal with animals, be prepared to work hard and adapt to needs and priorities: it may require you to work longer and harder, but it is totally rewarding. If you truly want to experience what it means to be a Shepard, I couldn't recommend this experience more! Hope to be back there soon!

Unfortunately, my worst experience ever (and the only bad I had so far with WorldPackers)… I do not fear working alone 8-10 hours a day, but they put you in a part of the house and barely talk to you, except for what to do and blame you on what you did wrong. So there is a real cultural exchange here, just felt like an unpaid employee. The worst part was when I left; there was a misagreement on what needed to be cleaned, and the 2 hosts responded with verbal violence and physical agressivity. I was insulted and being told I did nothing good (which was not said during my stay). Unacceptable.

This two weeks with the farm was a perfect opportunity to experience how a shepherd's life looks like. I could immerse myself into the Italian countryside lifestyle, which means, sometimes you have to work all the day, but this is absolutely worth it. I loved to work with the goats, my favourite part was when we went to the pasture with goats in the morning. the farm cooks very good dishes, the pastas and the cheese are wonderful and the house is really cosy.

This was an immersive experience! Secluded within the green landscape of Ceva, the goat farm's operation requires daily routine in which your contribution is most important. You will become acquainted with the beautiful nature of goats, these clever and often underestimated animals, by taking them for walks, feeding and milking them. You may also have an input in the small cheese factory, as well as other jobs required around the farm area. In return, the farm makes the most delicious pizzas and pastas, as he shares entertaining stories with you in his cosy farmhouse.

Working with the goats in the beautiful Italian Alps and Ceva has been an absolute blast, even if it can be stressful at times. the farm is such a wonderful person always open to discussion, who learned me so much about everything. An unforgettable experience through a shepard's perspective, from the goat caring to the process of making cheese (that is of course delicious by the way). To rock n'roll, Eva, Francesco, Ramona, Miquella and others that contributed to my wonderful experience and most importantly to the farm : grazie a tutti per tutto, fino a quando non ci incontreremo di nuovo !
