The farm is a very special place, absolutely beautiful and Pinan has a heart of gold! gonna miss him the most I think, what a great experience. the work was fair and mostly fun very relaxed and peaceful. I would love to come back one day hopefully when there's more volunteers. Overall great experience. Thank you Pinan!!

Everyone dreams of escaping the system. A house in nature, peace, freedom. But few could stand what they claim to want. No hot water, no mirror, no noise to hide behind. Here, life isn't filtered. It's slow, heavy, real. You don't "find yourself", you lose what never mattered. Most people want simplicity until it stops being beautiful. This place shows what remains when everything else stops pretending to exist.

I never would have imagined feeling such nostalgia after leaving this place, even though I stayed only a week. It's not because of the stunning scenery, the healthy food or the constant kindness, but because there is an indefinable energy here — one that touches those who allow themselves to be touched by it. Saying “thank you” feels far too small to express all the gratitude that has enveloped me during this stay, and now follows me with every step I take.

There is definitely a before and after Mindfullfarm. Pi Nam and Yomiko are incredibly kind. The space is simply spectacular—you can feel all the love they've poured into it. The Buddhist classes were my favorite part. Pi Nam respects your space and time. The farm is huge, allowing you to truly connect with nature and simply let go of attachments—because, in the end, nothing really belongs to me. I carry these days at the farm in my soul and in my heart. It's a therapeutic experience, and it makes you realize that with just a few things, you already have everything. Thank you, Pi Nam

The farm had the biggest impact on me. This was my first volunteer experience, and I am hooked. The amount of insight and perspective gained from just staying at the farm was difficult to comprehend in the first few days, and this is excluding the privilege of being able to learn about Buddhism from Pi Nan's 30 years of experience as a monk. Buddhism has been an interest for a while but, my understanding of it, and the rest of my life has genuinely shifted so much. There's too much to list on what I enjoyed, but all I will say is Chef Pi Nan is in serious business.
