A warm welcome, Good nights, Great meals, And a little sad to leave this place where poetry and philosophy of life meet. Every person, every animal made an impression on me, and I'll be sharing the memories of this magical first experience with my loved ones. I often remember the moment when I was up in the mountains... Wherever I go, I'll see a road. Thank you the farm, thank you volunteers, thank you everyone !

I had two amazing weeks at the farm's farm. Every day is as described with some twists when the goats want to do their own thing or when there's visit. Be aware that this is a physically demanding experience where you'll work from 8am-8pm with some breaks in between. You will carry heavy stuff by yourself and go up the mountain several times a day. You might also get some bruises from the goats. Bring work clothes, ideally long sleeve/socks since there are ticks. the farm is very kind but it is very important to have clear communication with him. I already miss my babies, Brubru, Guapo & Lupo!

Be aware that it's a full experience - you work every day, as you are creating this place too. It's not an usual volunteering programme, it's a sneak peak into true shepherd's life and even though it can be tiring at times - when you get the good perspective (which is literally life changing if you're willing to learn it!) you can get a lot out of it. Be prepared for what you sign up for though, and then enjoy the farm's amazing pastas, cuddling all my sweet friends (dogs and goats) beautiful surroundings and obviously the stay itself. Thank you very much again the farm, all the best wishes for you!

Goats are the most amazing animals, they are so cute innocent, they require all your attention, they eat freely so we most work a lot as a team. All can I tell you is the same as the previous reviews from Romy, Cinthya, Nefertari. Do not forget to read them. Wonderful moments with Danilo, Cecilia, Martina, Pierre, Jovanny and Gyan. Thank you Good luck.

Working on the farm's farm was an absolute dream! He was so welcoming and I learned so much from him about what it means to not just run a dairy goat farm and make cheese, but to also live life to the fullest! It's not easy work caring and working with all of the goats every day, but the work is so fulfilling and the amazing food and company makes it all worth it! This is definitely a trip I will never forget and I look forward to visiting again!

Meeting people who are so passionate about their work nowdays is very rare and for me it was a fortune being with the farm and learn about his project, I found a lot of inspiration. The work requires strength, but mostly attitude and patience. The task are divided through the day (from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm) and we had breaks to eat (the farm'S FOOD IS AMAZING); I recommend to bring your own clothes and shoes for work because you will need it. the farm is always aware of your needs and available to solve your doubts. I am happy to have had this experience as a pastor! Arrivederci, ci vediamo a settembre.

Our experience with the farm was great, expending a month in the mountains gave us time to know a little of what it is to be a pastor. The activities were challenging since they require a lot of effort, both phisycally and mentally but it was worth it, you must be very patiente cause working with goats can be tricky but in the end they steal your heart, i loved it. The activities are distributed through the hole day with breaks in between (7am-7pm more or less) but the farm was very clear about it from the begining. The meals together were always homely and the food is delicious. I already miss them ♡

Staying at the farm's goat farm was a completely new experience for me. I really enjoyed staying in nature and learning how a goat farm runs. I was aware that the days would be long prior to my arrival so I would recommend people to consider this as you start the day 7.30am and finish in the in the later evening around 8:30. There are small periods throughout the day where you get a small break but there were always jobs to be done. In spite of these long days, I did enjoy the work and learned a lot about making cheese as well.

I didn't have a good experience at this place. The location is beautiful, and the work is rewarding for those who enjoy nature, but the experience was challenging due to poor communication and lack of support. The host provided no proper orientation, leaving volunteers to figure things out alone. We worked all day without days off, and there was no Wi-Fi, making it hard to stay connected as a foreigner. While the setting is stunning, the lack of respect, connection, and support overshadowed everything, and I can't recommend it.

Anche per noi l'esperienza non è stata piacevole. Abbiamo riscontrato poca volontà nel comunicare, condividere e mettersi in gioco.
In fattoria c'erano due volontari che parlavano la tua stessa lingua con vari giorni di esperienza, siamo soliti affiancare i nuovi a quelli esperti per trasmettere le conoscenze. Per la questione "day off" sei rimasta tipo 4 giorni invece dei circa 20 giorni accordati inizialmente, se ci avessi parlato delle tue necessità ci saremo potuti venire in contro, ma come già detto è mancata la comunicazione. Siamo una fattoria in mezzo al bosco, noi cerchiamo sempre di creare una situazione di confort per i nostri volontari, ci dispiace se non abbiamo soddisfatto le tue aspettative ma normalmente (come si può leggere dalle altre recensioni) i volontari arrivano per condividere il nostro stile di vita tra natura, animali e molto lavoro. Siamo certi che questo non era il posto che faceva per te...siamo grati a tutti quei volontari che invece ci hanno dimostrato di potersi sporcare le mani imparando non solo un attività ma anche uno stile di vita.
