Even though I only spent a week at Katrin's farm, I was warmly welcomed, and the time flew by. If you enjoy being in nature and spending time with animals, this is the perfect place for you. I look forward to coming back someday.

You really get what you signed up for at Katrin's place. And I mean that in the best way possible. The atmosphere at the farm is welcoming and the tasks you perform feel meaningful and really connect you with nature. It's the perfect opportunity to get down to earth if you come from a busy place like Santiago or just immerse yourself with animals and people alike. Katrin is a warm-hearted host and it feels like you're part of the project and not like you're just a bystander helping here and there. I recommend anyone to come here that wants to experience the local culture and nature of Chile.

We were supposed to stay here 20 days but at the end we end up to stay here for more than 2 months! The experience was awesome, we felt welcome at Katrin's house from the moment we arrived at the farm! The days flew, lot of things to learn and to do, it was nice to get in touch with nature and all the animals (goats, dogs,cats..). Katrin is a very patience person who explained us all the things and let us learn more about the granja life! I would recommend this experience to people who loves nature and animals. I will keep this experience in my heart💜

This was Chris' and my first volunteer experience and it was fantastic! Katrin is so knowledgeably about the organic industry and treats her animals and us like family. We learnt a lot about taking care of animals such as goats, geese and chicken! Also about cheese production. It's a beautiful peaceful environment to be in, with work as is described on her listing. We ended up extending our stay and we're sad to say goodbye. Until next time. Big love 💕

Me es difícil explicar en palabras lo que esta experiencia significó para mí, ya que hay emociones y sentimientos que no pueden ser expresados en palabras. Personalmente aprendí muchísimo y tuve un desarrollo personal muy significativo, me tuve que enfrentar a desafíos y actividades que jamás en mi vida había hecho, siempre tuve su apoyo, paciencia y enseñanza, cometí algunos errores, pero siempre se me agradecía mi labor, lo que agradezco enormemente. Me llevo en mi corazón todo lo que aprendí tanto de las personas como de las actividades y de la vida del campo, una experiencia inolvidable.
