Es una experiencia única. Cuando llegas, de un entorno urbanita, te chocará la primera impresión, pero si te dejas llevar y te sumerges en la experiencia, resulta muy atractiva, luego cuesta irse. Lannie es carismática y experimentada, tiene millones de historias que compartir y hace que te sientas muy bien, además te cuida, preparándote desayunos y almuerzos muy buenos y saludables. No puedo dejar de hablar de Mani, el perro que, con cara de pillín, hay que sacar a pasear, ya que es un poco travieso y no puede estar suelto como el resto de la familia.
¡La experiencia merece la pena!

This experience was eye opening and beautifully immersion. You learn how to live off the land without modern amenities which was challenging at times. Lannie is gracious, loving, and welcoming. If you come prepared for insects and the natural elements it can be a deeply rewarding stay where you learn to cherish nature. I would've definitely stay here longer if I was more prepared to face the elements. Truly a life changing opportunity. 🌿 ✨️🙏🌏🌸

Lannie is full of vigor and life despite her 70+ years, and she puts this down to the wholesome food she grows and cooks, and living in the depths of nature without access to electricity, flushing toilets/running water or the Internet. She made me feel welcome and I had a living space all to myself (I was the only volunteer). When she told me that my only task would be to walk Mani the dog, I must admit I expected that I would be able to do more, but she insists on doing everything herself or with the help of Adelio, her 'right-hand man'. I had plenty of free time to self-reflect...

I had a very interesting time at Lani’s farm. For me, it was a completely new experience to live without electricity or sanitary facilities and i recommend it to everyone who wants to challenge themself! Lani is a nice host and the tasks are also pretty easy. It is a different life style and it can be hard to adjust to it but it’s worth a try! And you will have time to calm down, reconnect with nature and let go of the travel stress :) i recommend it for the experience!

I volunteered at this ecological farm, disconnecting from social media due to the lack of electricity. I woke up and used the woods as my bathroom, then walked to the creek to shower. Afterwards, Lannie would wait for me with a super healthy breakfast. I also walked her dog, Mani. The place was so relaxed and in touch with nature. Lannie has many animals that keep her company. This place felt like a retreat - one week of healthy food and surrounded by nature.
Thank you Lannie for letting me live this experience
Lots of love 💕
