I had an amazing time staying at Simon's place. It was a very interesting place and surrounded by incredible scenery. I completed a variety of tasks and learned a lot about the environment and Simon's clever and innovative systems. The whole family as well as the wide range of animals at the farm made me feel very welcome and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a new and exciting experience living on a farm in rural the Center.

Enjoyed my stay at the farm very much. Simon and Jessica are very nice and welcoming. We played loads of games in our freetime:) Also, I gained many new skills in different fields so work was always quite interesting a d fun. The town is nice too and I had some great volunteers I could spend my time with. Gonna miss the dogs! Would recommend

My stay was wonderful, Simon and Jessica have a lot of experience hosting people and made me feel at home.They are very open minded and share a lot of their knowledge about permaculture and other surprising discoveries!I got to take care of the animals (chicken, rabbits and ducks), I have learned how to make a floor out of stones and ciment, as well as to cook nice things with the fresh ingredients they have in their garden. We always enjoyed a nice home made cambucha, playing games (note the most important rule: not let Simon win.)the surroundings offer lots of activities (river,hike,club…)

The experience at the Center was incredible! The hosts Simon and Jessica are lovely, their hospitality is amazing, I felt truly welcome at all times. They are very passionate about permaculture and the volunteering hours were created diverse and there was always something new to learn. Simon and Jessica put so much heart and effort into their sustainable project and their knowledge of their work is astonishing. Beyond the farm work, there was always something exciting to do in our free time like exploring Mizque, taking a swim in the river or hiking.

The worst part of my experience was leaving-I didn't want to! Simon and Jessica are amazing hosts. The work was not difficult and the work hours were respected and we had fun during the work time. Food was amazinly good even for a picky eater like me. They went out of their way to make sure the volunteers had fun during our off time. I strongly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn about sustainable living, and if you are accepted as a volunteer, you are blessed and will enjoy yourself. THANK YOU the Center team, you will be in my heart forever.

The experience was quite different from what I have expected. I was the only volunteer and schools were closed so I couldn't get in touch with other people, contrary to what I was told. I mostly worked alone building a fence, I hoped to be more involved in media creation or to learn more about permaculture. I sometimes felt a bit left out, as more attention was given to a paying guest, and the organization could be improved. That said, Jessica is lovely and an amazing cook, Simon is friendly and always open to chat, and little Tama is a joy. Unfortunately, 200€ were stolen from my room.

Staying at the Center was a good experience. I felt welcomed and we had good fun with Simon & Jessica. The farm is a haven't if biodiversity. Simon knows a lot and is always keen to look for innovation and better ways of doing . I got to learn the basics of water restoration and to help him protect the Mizque river. Can't wait to see the project's evolution

My experience in the Center was perfect, the place, right outside Mizque, is the house of this amazing family with the little Tama (6 months). If you want to learn about permaculture Simon it's gonna be more than happy to teach you all he knows and also about construction. The instructions are clear, all the time of work respected and the food is aboundant and very good :) I advice to take part of this project. They really love board games :)
