I had a great stay at the farm. It's a good place to slow down and relax. What I loved the most was the community. I made some really good friends and memories that will stay with me for a long time. Thank you so much for hosting me Fernando! I wish I could have stayed longer.

I had a very nice time at the community. Living in a community with lots of other volunteers was great fun, and we enjoyed lots of activities and nice chats. I really enjoyed living together and being surrounded by beautiful nature. All the animals are so cute, especially the cats, and you can spend lots of time cuddling and playing with them! The work varied from day to day, and it was always fun. The hours were respected, and everything was well organised. If you're looking for a place to calm down and recharge, you should apply to the community.

Thank you Moses. He is a great worker - the last project was the building of the new green house.

I felt really in home staying at the community and I would really recommend this place for a truly natural and mindful experience. All the volunteers were very welcoming and kind with me and Fernando was a such wisdom and intelligent person from which a learnt so much. I will definitely repeat my stay.

My time at the community was truly full of learning. Surrounded by kind and amazing people you don't often come across in life. I'm already missing the sunsets on the rooftop, the afternoons reading in the hammocks, the volleyball games, swimming in the lake, and the parties with Greg. It was my home for a month, and I hope it can be again in the future.
