I had an amazing time at the project! The farm cultivates all kinds of fruits and vegetables, so there is a lot to learn about. The staff were all super lovely and were always making sure that we take enough breaks during shifts and had enough food in our bellies after. Besides learning about organic farming, I especially enjoyed riding the bike around the village and it's neighboring towns, or going for a swim in the nearby river! It's the perfect place to slow down and be in nature.

The experience in the farm was unforgettable. I only met nice people and the work is really fun. I learned so much about farming and I really liked getting up in the mornings and dig into the ground. Seeing the nature and the animals brought me so much peace. The housing is amazing and the food is healthy and so delicioussss! The cats are cute and the volunteering was a wonderful joyful experience. Thank u so much :3 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely amazing time at the project! The team and volunteers are friendly and welcoming. Learnt a lot of things regarding organic farming practices. During my time there, I did things such as weeding, mulching, harvesting, woodwork. Tasks can be physically demanding but manageable. However, mosquitoes are no joke, so take extra precaution (long sleeves and long socks are a must!) A great place to slow down and enjoy life, great scenary and friendly locals. Food is awesome too! Take note, nothing much to explore nearby, might need to take train to further places and explore during the weekends.

I had the most incredible time at the project. The whole team are lovely and so welcoming. The work was fun and I felt like a learned a lot. Good working hours too. We did lots of different work such as planting, transplanting trees, mulching, weeding etc. Also the staff food is unbelievable! Super varied and delicious. I could not recommend this place enough.

Volunteering at the project was a truly special experience. From day one, I felt welcomed into a warm, tight-knit community. Yes, farm work can be physically demanding, but the hours were fair, the workload totally manageable, and the tasks changed day to day—ranging from greenhouse care and tree planting to the surprisingly satisfying process of dividing chives. What really stood out was the team's kindness and patience; they were always generous with their knowledge, turning each task into a chance to learn something new. Just a heads-up: the mosquitos don't mess around, so come prepared.
