Working at Mel's farm is a truly rewarding experience. The work can be tough at times, but nothing unmanageable at all. The accommodations are very comfortable, and you get to choose when you work. Mel is a warm and welcoming host, every conversation I had with him was a pleasant one. He even provides clothes to work in so you don't dirty your own. All in all, I would highly recommend this experience to those who want to learn more about the farm lifestyle, love nature, and don't mind getting a little dirty.

This was my first ever experience volunteering, amd it was amazing. Ever since from the first message Mel is an amazing host that will always be friendly and make you feel welcome. The work sometimes was a bit monotonous, but it is perfect to gain real experience on the everyday life of having cows. The conditions were good, although, due to the presence of many cats, that are only in a certain part of the house, it sometimes could get a bit messy there, and not good for those with allergies. Other than that, it os an absolutely unique experience!

Responsible with food. Varied food. Volunteer schedules are respected. There is not Wifi. It is a bit far from the urban area and there is nothing to go there with. There is no heating. There are many animals, if you suffer from allergies, keep this in mind. The subject does not socialize much, but is respectful.

If you want to be connected with nature,animals and a rural place, the farm's farm is what you needed!! All was like we were expecting, tasks were sometimes hard but ok too. The house is nice and heated by a wood stove, we slept very well and food was simply great (everything organic from the vegetable garden) and you have many choices, you won't be hungry. About Mel he is very kind and a very cheese master! Making ricotta was just amazing and interesting!! Grazie e alla prossima!

Muy buena mi experiencia en lo de Mel, los trabajos son sencillos, a veces te perdés un poquito en el bosque pero quizás es de los puntos más fuertes que tiene, aprendes a encontrarte rápido. Super recomendable, los paisajes son muy lindos, los horarios son flexibles, hay muy buen ambiente. Es una granja, si te interesa ese mundillo rural la vas a pasar muy bien y vas a poder poner el senderismo en práctica
