There is something magical in the air at the community. The folks I met during my stay are nothing short of some of the best people I've known. The farm is remote, so going into town is rare, but it's in such a beautiful spot and everyone gets along like family, it truly feels like home. The work is different every day, so you'll never be bored! There's always a new adventure/'side quest' to help with, whether it's with the animals, gardening, cleaning, electricity, water usage, or anything else that may come up. The time really flies, so prepare to extend your stay! Thank you Fernando and Masha!

I spent a month at the community and can truly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in farm life. You will spend time with amazing people, animals and yourself, learning a lot. If not about farming skills, then about life. It really is one of those special places you don't come across often and it became my temporary home, to which I hope to return one day.

My stay at the community was better than i ever could imagen! From day one I was very well welcomed and the community family is genuin, loving and nonjudgemental. I have had the best time at the farm, learning a lot about animals, farming, sustainability and how to live in peace with nature. The amazing people I met at the farm has inspired me, each in their own ways. I have loved haning out at the roof watching the stars, swimming in the lake, dog walking, cooking and talking about life! There is so much to say about this amazing place and the freeing, peaceful and warm energy this place holds🌻☀️

I had a great time there, i meet realy good people, open mind, the host was a Nice person, the ONLY problem is that the farm is the distance from the city, of course this can be a good thing, but every weekend the host can take you to the city. Sometimes crazy people can enjoy... Kkkkk but is a normal thing that can happen in anywhere. I would like to back some day.🇧🇷🤝
