Staying at the Center was an amazing experience, Simon and Jessica provided amazing support and were extremely welcoming, something which was very important to me as this was my first volunteering experience. During my time here I learnt many useful life skills such as plumbing, electrical work, welding and roofing. The food was also very good, with a wide variety of types of meals. In addition to how nice the actual volunteer site is, the town is very close to the farm and is full of very friendly people. Thank you Simon and Jessica for providing me with such an amazing experience!

We had a fantastic week doing the internship at the Center Farm in Mizque! This internship was a very rich and rewarding experience, we got to learn so many hands-on skills including welding, woodworking, metalworking, plumbing, and gardening. It was amazing to be involved in such a wide variety of projects and to gain practical experience in each of them. A huge thank you to Simon and Jessica for sharing your knowledge, your space, and your vision with us. We highly recommend the Center to anyone looking to learn and contribute in a meaningful way!

I had an amazing time staying at Simon's place. It was a very interesting place and surrounded by incredible scenery. I completed a variety of tasks and learned a lot about the environment and Simon's clever and innovative systems. The whole family as well as the wide range of animals at the farm made me feel very welcome and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a new and exciting experience living on a farm in rural the Center.
