I really enjoyed my time at La Casa de the farm, learning about the operation and management of olive trees, almond trees, and vineyards. My daily tasks included pruning branches to fit into the grinding machine, grass cutting, and applying sulphur to the vineyards. Thanks to Monica, Valdimar, and their lovely daughters for sharing their stories and experiences, cultural exchange, and for motivating me to improve my Spanish. Cheers, Yuen

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm! Mónica and Valdimar were really nice hosts and made me feel welcomed. Their kids were very nice as well and showed me around town. I always worked in the mornings so I had some free time in the afternoons to explore the surrounding area, which is really beautiful. They told me a lot about the culture in Spain and especially Catalunya as well as about their original cultures which was really interesting and I got to practice my Spanish 😊. Would definitely recommend this experience!

Mónica and Valdimar are wonderful hosts in every way. Meals and conversation with the family was my favorite part. They speak so many languages! Be sure to ask Mónica for the story of how they met. The view from the roof is perfect in the mornings. I took off weekends which worked perfectly with the host's schedule, but they were flexible if I wanted to change. I worked on trimming weeds and vines, spreading fertilizer, repairing irrigation, chipping wood, and building a path. The surrounding cities were lovely to visit. I hired a car but you can use trains and busses. Valls is a 30 min walk

Regresar a la granja ha sido nuevamente una experiencia transofmadora, de mucho aprendizaje y sentirse como en casa. Aunque en esta ocasión no tuve la oportunidad de convivir con Moni porque le tocó estar fuera, la convivencia con Valdimar, Glòa y Mòa fue increíble :D Aprendí mucho de la cultura Islandesa y en general de muchos temas de conversación que surgían en las comidas o en mi convivencia con las chicas. Siempre respetaron los horarios y fueron muy flexibles con los mismos. Recomiendo al 100% esta experiencia de voluntariado y espero volver a verlos pronto :D

Mi experiencia con Moni, Valdimar, Chloa y Moa ha superado con creces mis expectativas! Son una familia hermosa y muy hospitalaria con los voluntarios internacionales, compartir con ellos un lugar en la mesa e intercambiar historias, puntos de vista y risas ha sido simplemente maravilloso. la granja es un proyecto ecosostenible familiar bellísimo en proceso, rodeado de naturaleza y mucho cariño en el cual me siento orgulloso y muy agradecido de haber tenido la oportunidad de contribuir. Sin duda recomiendo al mil por ciento esta experiencia :D PD. La comida de Moni es riquísima!
