We spent a fantastic week at the Center, helping with garden work, feeding the animals, and cooking meals. It was such a change of scene from our travels and Simon and Jessica were very welcoming! Simon also went out of his way to help us with onward transport during the blockades

My partner and I volunteered on Simon's permaculture farm for just over 2 weeks. We were mainly house sitting while Simon was abroad but spent some quality time when he returned. In that short amount of time we had together we learnt many different things about sustainability and permaculture. We would highly recommend this experience to any backpacker. Simon was super easy to get along with, he is extremely attentive & accommodating and the communication was perfect.

A wonderful stay with Simon- learnt so much and felt very welcomed. I loved learning about his work in the farm and his life within the community. He goes above and beyond to integrate you into the local area, whilst sharing his knowledge about Permaculture. Honestly would recommend this to anyone and I would love to come back one day!

We had two wonderful weeks with Simon! Our role was to create videos for their social media, and what we loved was also having the opportunity to tinker, gardening and participate in the life of the place Simon and Jessica created. Simon was very attentive during those two weeks and made sure we all felt comfortable during our stay. Our days were filled with great moments, delicious meals, lots of board games, and we also got to discover life in Mizque thanks to Simon. Thank you again for everything! And maybe see you another time 😊
