Good experience, close to the nature and animals. The tasks are physical but interesting. It would be very good if there were more planned activities or possibilities of creating a real community experience

The farm is a place where you can find peace, learn sustainable agriculture and principles and connect with lots of people and stories. I had the chance to found a little multicultural family during my stay there. The environment is filled with respect and peacefulness. Everyone can fit. I definitely recommend it and I hope that my path will lead me back there one day!

First, the food was amazing. It is $10 a day to stay and $15 added if you want to eat 3 fresh meals a day. So most people pay $25 a day. You work 2 hours first thing in the morning, then eat breakfast and then work between 9 and 12. The work great. I learned a lot. At first, it felt weird that I was paying to work. But I realized that I was learning a lot and ate really well too. they aren't super demanding of their volunteers and they understand it's a trip for us not a job. Overall, I'd recommend. I have made so many friends and memories. Bring Ole a snack from your country!

Beautiful experience. Made connections that I won't forget in a lifetime. Leaders made sure to teach about how the work you're doing affects sustainability as the work is getting done. Totally immersive into the local environment.

This was my first time volunteering and it was really great!! I felt super safe and everyone is so nice and you also meet a lot of other volunteers and amazing dogs ;) The work can be intensive but everyone is very flexible and you get to work with the nicest local people! The days on the farm are very slow and it's definitely a place to relax in nature and the food is very good and regional! Right now the farm is renovating a lot so the focus was not really on the garden and I wish I could have learned a bit more about sustainable living and organic farming but it was still a great time!!

The farm is in such a beautiful place surrounded by nature, and I loved being around all the animals. It was definitely a lot of hard work, but I learned a lot about what it takes to run a farm. That being said you do have alot of free time after work and on the weekends to explore. In my opinion it was a bit expensive at $20-25 per day when we mainly ate rice and beans for all our meals. The host was not there the entire time I was there, but I did meet a lot of amazing volunteers and workers that made the experience unforgettable. Overall I enjoyed my time at the farm!

Very much enjoyed my time at the farm! In such a beautiful location in the mountains & all the farm animals & dogs made my heart melt. Met so many other people from around the world, learned a variety of gardening/carpentry skills, learned about compost & how to manage a farm… it's a lot of work but all of it is so fulfilling & you feel very accomplished at the end of the day. Make sure to mention your diet. Also never met the host (out of town when I was there) but everyone else I volunteered with (& the other workers on the farm) made me feel so welcome & made connections for life.

Mis ganas por aprender, el emplazamiento y la vegetación tan espectacular que hay allá, ayudaron a que las 2 semanas que estuve hayan dejado un recuerdo bonito.Tenía un propósito y era saber sobre Permacultura, pero finalmente me di cuenta que aprendería mucho + si me dedicaba a los animales, ya que había una persona con mucho conocimiento de los procesos y no tanto en la otra área.Pienso que definir mejor la hoja de ruta, no desviarse del propósito inicial de la idea de la Granja, ser + proactivos, integradores y trabajar en equipo, sería mucho + beneficioso para todos y para la experiencia.
