I felt very comfortable in the Center, it has a very good energy! Simon, Jessica and little Toma are very special. I had a real immersion in English. I helped in various ways with the farming and the animals, as well as with the baby for a few hours, and preparing good meals with the real food there. The working hours are respected and the schedule is well programmed. The rooms are comfortable and have a beautiful view of the mountains. I learned a lot in practice, and they are always happy to teach. I'll miss the fun card games after meals and the refreshing "cumbucha time". Thank you so much!

Kawai permaculture was a great learning experience. Even as a volunteer I felt I was able to learn about the sustainable practices that Simon and Jessica employ on the farm. The tasks were diverse, sometimes it was more physical gardening and other times it was childcare with Tama. Simon was responsive to what you wanted to do, so it felt like there was a lot of choice depending on your own interests. The hours were respected and we had three delicious and healthy meals everyday. Overall, it was a pleasure to work on the farm and with the other volunteers!

The place is wonderful. I felt so welcomed and enjoyed my stay so much, that I expanded it. Jessica and Simon are super friendly and it is fun to stay there. Especially the board game culture there is amazing. I loved it. We volunteers cooked and it was delicious, especially because there are a lot of resources we could use and be creative. The Projects on Simon's Farm are varied and so also the tasks I did, which was very good. The Farm is a super nice and quite place where you can enjoy your time.

I had a great time with Simon and Jessica. They are truly consistent with the work at the farm and available for the volunteers. The schedules were always respected, such as the shifts and the breaks mid-morning. Simon provides you with a lot of extra materials if you're particularly interested in permaculture or specific aspects of it, during the permaculture course and even outside of those hours. The food was always fresh and healthy. The afternoons were free time to enjoy the place and the close town, having the chance to interact with the locals, as well as the free days.

I had the best time in Mizque at Simon's and Jessica's place and it was definitely an experience that I would not like to miss. They have the most beautiful and magical place close to town, give a lot of space during non-working hours so you can explore the places around as well as Mizque itself, they provide support in everything you need and you can talk to them about everything. Enjoyed the best food as well and learned so much about permaculture which inspired me to dive more into it. Thanks Simon and Jessica, I would always love to come back!
