Animal Rescue: Help in a sanctuary vegan farm!

United States

5

This is a very special place, and perfect if you truly want to immerse yourself in rural farm life. Know that the work days are long and require physical and mental strength, as well as high levels of responsibility and environmental awareness. I will never forget the amazing animals here, and I feel as though I made genuine contributions to their wellbeing, and I met and bonded with other wonderful volunteers. Thank you, Brad, for all that you do and for this experience!! <3

My experience as a volunteer was really enriching. The work is hard and you get dirty, but at the end of the day it feels rewarding. The work days are long but with breaks during the day. Despite not speaking much English, it was not a problem to do the tasks and interact with the group. It was an incredible time. Each the shelter is special and important. It was nice to be able to contribute to their having a long and better life. I am taking a nice experience back to Chile. Thank you Brad for what you do, it is truly admirable.

Amazing the shelter sanctuary! For those of you that have always wanted to experience working in a farm, but bend towards veganism, sustainability, or making an impact, this is the place. That said, one must also be a bit strong and know english (as farms depend on physical work and you will be trained by colleagues). And also ready to live close to animals and insects, specially being located in Australia ;) Brad is a really nice host and the place is amazing, specially getting to know the animals and care for them,and having a swim at the pool with views in summer 😍

•Loved working with the animals, very special experience •Other volunteers were kind and supportive •Organisation clearly passionate about rescuing/rehabilitating animals (-): •Daily schedule very demanding, breaks inconsistent •Limited training/support, volunteers expected to train new arrivals •Living conditions difficult (small, messy, mold, mice, few cleaning supplies) •Constant messages made it stressful, hard to relax •Overall vibe became negative as many felt unhappy I admire the mission for the animals, but the program would benefit from better organisation etc

The farmstay was a great experience and we absolutely enjoyed being part of the shelter sanctuary! We really appreciate Brad's engagement and his passion for all the animals and what he's doing. You get a lot of responsibility and take care of the animals and the farm with the other volunteers who are training you. It is definitely hard work but also rewarding and meaningful. Also you get cozy evenings together with the other volunteers.

My experience at the shelter was amazing! From day one, I felt welcomed and learned so much about , the shelter care. The team was always willing to share their knowledge, making every task a learning opportunity. Beyond the work, I connected with nature and embraced a more sustainable lifestyle. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to learn and grow in a meaningful way. Thank you for everything!

My experience in the shelter was exactly what I expected.Brad is a good host who allows the group of volunteers to work independently, which encourages responsibility for our daily tasks. However, he was always attentive and available for any questions or help we needed. The farm is very large and has a wide variety of animals. If you're looking to get away from big cities and connect with nature, this is a highly recommended place.

I loved my stay at FAR so much, will 100% come back. I loved all the animals and seeing them live happy for the rest of their life healed something in me <3 I made friends with some amazing people that I'll never forget. I couldn't tell you how hard the work actually is, but that's just because I'm a baby when it comes to heat, but you gets breaks, and for me I thought it was really fun. I've been away from home for 8 months and it was one of my favorite things I did. 10/10 recommend, if you're thinking about going anywhere in aus, go here!
