This was a truly beautiful expérience for me ! I left with my heart filled with peace and joy ! the farm is a very welcoming place for everybody, you are sure to be well taking care of. Nature wise the location is beautiful, and so much work goes to their garden which makes it a pleasure to work there. Dont hesitate to ask questions and for explainations to understand the work you are doing, it is very interesting to learn about the plants and the way everything is haddled. After a few days you will feel at home : ) It is a great place as well to learn some Nepali and local traditions !

We had a great time helping at the farm, learning about coffee, seeing the Himalayas on a great hike, and hanging with other volunteers. the farm team is so friendly, funny, and welcoming. The program is very well managed with clear signage, instructions, and scheduling, making settling in here super easy! Plus(!!!), all the work is meaningful to the farm. Highly recommend!! Bistali+best wishes to the farm from J & L of the Kishan Team! Tips: If you like ++protein, you can buy extra eggs in town. Also, don't forget to buy beans from 'Deepa's Shop' to bring back for family/friends/yourself! ;)

Our time at the farm filled our hearts and our cups. We instantly felt welcomed, valued and part of the farm family within hours of arrival. The communication leading up to our stay was clear and appreciated. The property is in a beautiful setting and the house and living spaces are kept clean and tidy. We are beyond grateful for the experience, the knowledge acquired through from all staff and of course the delicious food and coffee! The volunteer expectations were made clear from the get go and the schedule was well organized. There was a variety of work to keep us busy and engaged!!

I had a wonderful experience working on the farm! I saw all the stages of creating coffee - from growing to roasting, gained new knowledge in gardening and learned more about the life of Nepal and the Nepalese. All the locals were incredibly kind, open, cheerful, always ready to answer questions and help. Be prepared to eat a lot of delicious food, try a lot of new things, brush your teeth under the starry sky, and spend cold February evenings by the fire :) Many thanks to Thomas and Deepha for making this experience possible! I was really happy to spend 3 weeks on your farm!
