I loved my time at the project. Ben and the whole team are great. You can volunteer based on your skill set. For example, I helped organized events, other people take care of the animals, technical jobs, etc. There are private rooms (without heating and plumbing) and dorm style in a central house with plumbing, heat, etc. About 40 minutes from city center by bus and there are night buses. Great place especially in summer and fall, there are lots of volunteers (15-20ish) so very social. Lots of amazing community projects are in the works! I am excited to return one day!

I really enjoyed the days I spent at the project, the nature, the other lovely volunteers and the friendly goats really made it beautiful. I unfortunately had to leave early due to an emergency and everybody has been very flexible and kind about it. I'm really happy I got to live this experience!

I volunteered at the project for a week and had a great experience. Ben was a kind and supportive host, and even welcomed my friend to join. The tasks were manageable and we often finished early, helping out with other small jobs. The other volunteers were friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. the project is a unique place with a great sense of community. I'd love to volunteer there again and highly recommend it to others!

This experience has been magical to me, I met a lot of good people from around the world and made beautiful friendships. Everyone is nice and warm. They are flexible, patient and helpful. You will feel like home and fall in love with the place. I totally recommend it if you want to have a great time. I've also learned a lot about culture, history and had a lot of fun. I'll keep this in my memory forever🩷

This is a place where you can choose how to spend your time and what projects you engage in. There is an emphasis on trust, and that everyone has abilities and potential they can share and explore at their own pace. There are tasks like cleaning, painting, animal care (Goats, Emus!) But you can also dream up new projects or ways to improve volunteer life. I pursued donations (like pianos, video games,) organized group trips, started a podcast, designed a museum space & art pieces, created events and community partnerships.. But best of all- I made friends- who made my time here truly special.

I was welcomed with warmth by everyone and I quickly felt comfortable! People were very kind and this made the experience wonderful for me. The work is very flexible, you can work when you want on what you want. You will need to take initiative to find out what's going on, there's very little organization. The common house gets quite dirty so I spent a lot of my work hours taking care of our shared space. It's about 30 min by bus or bike to the city center - there are some shared bikes. You'll want clothes that can get dirty. I would recommend - it's different from anywhere else I've been!

Greeted and toured so ridiculously warmly by Rachel, one of the longer term volunteers, I was instantly hooked and wowed by the project, reacting with the 'i think i'm gonna like it here' response of okayyyy, yeahhhh with the head nod alongside, with freedom to learn trades, skills and be part of such a collaborative community project with endless potential, it's incredible. It's an easy place to settle in quickly, choosing how to live your experience just how you want. Unforeseen, I had to leave, but, alike arrival, I was treated with such understanding and acceptance, thank you all !
