Deva was very welcoming in her home, made fresh smoothies and banana bread, and was very social. Her house and garden are beautiful, lots of fruits and amazing outside shower! My days consisted of picking the farm cherries, weeding and measuring up for planning of new buildings on the farm. There's a lot of work to be done and a lot of potential. I learnt a lot about Balinese life/ culture also. I did expect the experience to be more organised however overall I still enjoyed it. Be prepared for mosquitoes with repellent and correct clothing and riding moped to the farm.

My experience at the farm was overall good. I wish I would have had a little more guidance and teaching around the farm about permaculture and about the whole process from farming to the ready-to-sale product. I think it would have been funnier for me to be with other volunteers and maybe staying longer as well. Deva is a nice host and she is flexible ! I am glad I have had this experience to learn about what it is to own an the farm and fruit plantation as a foreigner in Bali.

Deva is very welcoming, she's open and tells a lot about every experience that she had! She cares about what you think and how you feel during your stay but organisation is a bit difficult, everything can change from one day to another, even if something was planned beforehand. I would recommend to never forget to be flexible, the work hours can expand a lot some days because Deva is really passionate, and could go hours into work. This experience is rich to learn about farming, thus you may miss some free time to see Ubud. Never be afraid to say what you want or not during your stay!

Deva is really openminded and honest! R Welcoming and understanding. the farm is insane. 😍 It was a good experience for myself. The way from Deva's house to the farm is about 1hour drive by bike, if I do it again I would stay closer to the farm. I think it's also nicer to share this experience with friends or people you already know. The shower and the bedroom at Deva's house are comfortable. Thank you Deva for everything. 🤝🤍

Appreciate your feedback Fabi, Nice to have you and so happy you loved the coffee. yes , good you mention that, we are working to build accommodation on the farm now , we hope by end of the year we can offer a place to stay on the farm, So for stays can have a choice sometime in Ubud close to cafes , spas, social activities and some nights on the farm. The ride to the farm is actually 35 -40 min., For experienced drivers. Fabi, can not drive a bike, so our staff give her transport so he's a little more carful to drive her. takes a little longer. It's also a nice ride and scenic .. if you like Bali you will enjoy the ride.. there are also several alternative ways to the farms so it's never dull. Thanks again My dear.. great to have you and look forward to catch up another time. with thanks, D.

I would really recommend working here. Firstly, because you will not save money, but you will lose more if you rent abroad. Secondly, the farm is very far from the housing site, so every day you will lose more money and time agreed upon. Thirdly she was supposed to provide breakfast and lunch but she did not do the wrong thing by bringing eggs just once. Fourth, but not least, it requires more time to work than what is stated on the site, and if you refuse, it will treat you rudely as if you are supposed to do that, but in return, it does not respect your time and does not care about your time

Thank you for your feedback Abdullah, appreciate the feed back and recommendation. We do appreciate the work you put in. Everyday, Breakfast, Fruits and Organic Coffee are provided. A lunch of local cuisine is also provided. We sometime also provide a nice dinner is our schedules align. To get to the farm a moto-scooter and petrol money were provided. We truly appreciate volunteers from around the globe coming out to help process on our projects. Apologies, if you feel one of our farming staff were not polite at some point. Our guys are usually so kind and thoughtful, truly Balines gentle souls, grateful and full of smiles. We did receive daily feedback and reports from farm, I am aware there was some misunderstanding. All the same we are new at this and learning a great deal about how to host and communicate clearly. This is a volunteer exchange and not a hostel. Thank you, Abdulah, even though there were some misunderstanding re: work -stay/ exchange, we do appreciator your work and your feedback. Wish you the best in your future endeavors.
