Goats are the most amazing animals, they are so cute innocent, they require all your attention, they eat freely so we most work a lot as a team. All can I tell you is the same as the previous reviews from Romy, Cinthya, Nefertari. Do not forget to read them. Wonderful moments with Danilo, Cecilia, Martina, Pierre, Jovanny and Gyan. Thank you Good luck.

Working on the farm's farm was an absolute dream! He was so welcoming and I learned so much from him about what it means to not just run a dairy goat farm and make cheese, but to also live life to the fullest! It's not easy work caring and working with all of the goats every day, but the work is so fulfilling and the amazing food and company makes it all worth it! This is definitely a trip I will never forget and I look forward to visiting again!

Meeting people who are so passionate about their work nowdays is very rare and for me it was a fortune being with the farm and learn about his project, I found a lot of inspiration. The work requires strength, but mostly attitude and patience. The task are divided through the day (from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm) and we had breaks to eat (the farm'S FOOD IS AMAZING); I recommend to bring your own clothes and shoes for work because you will need it. the farm is always aware of your needs and available to solve your doubts. I am happy to have had this experience as a pastor! Arrivederci, ci vediamo a settembre.

Our experience with the farm was great, expending a month in the mountains gave us time to know a little of what it is to be a pastor. The activities were challenging since they require a lot of effort, both phisycally and mentally but it was worth it, you must be very patiente cause working with goats can be tricky but in the end they steal your heart, i loved it. The activities are distributed through the hole day with breaks in between (7am-7pm more or less) but the farm was very clear about it from the begining. The meals together were always homely and the food is delicious. I already miss them ♡

Staying at the farm's goat farm was a completely new experience for me. I really enjoyed staying in nature and learning how a goat farm runs. I was aware that the days would be long prior to my arrival so I would recommend people to consider this as you start the day 7.30am and finish in the in the later evening around 8:30. There are small periods throughout the day where you get a small break but there were always jobs to be done. In spite of these long days, I did enjoy the work and learned a lot about making cheese as well.

I didn't have a good experience at this place. The location is beautiful, and the work is rewarding for those who enjoy nature, but the experience was challenging due to poor communication and lack of support. The host provided no proper orientation, leaving volunteers to figure things out alone. We worked all day without days off, and there was no Wi-Fi, making it hard to stay connected as a foreigner. While the setting is stunning, the lack of respect, connection, and support overshadowed everything, and I can't recommend it.

Anche per noi l'esperienza non è stata piacevole. Abbiamo riscontrato poca volontà nel comunicare, condividere e mettersi in gioco.
In fattoria c'erano due volontari che parlavano la tua stessa lingua con vari giorni di esperienza, siamo soliti affiancare i nuovi a quelli esperti per trasmettere le conoscenze. Per la questione "day off" sei rimasta tipo 4 giorni invece dei circa 20 giorni accordati inizialmente, se ci avessi parlato delle tue necessità ci saremo potuti venire in contro, ma come già detto è mancata la comunicazione. Siamo una fattoria in mezzo al bosco, noi cerchiamo sempre di creare una situazione di confort per i nostri volontari, ci dispiace se non abbiamo soddisfatto le tue aspettative ma normalmente (come si può leggere dalle altre recensioni) i volontari arrivano per condividere il nostro stile di vita tra natura, animali e molto lavoro. Siamo certi che questo non era il posto che faceva per te...siamo grati a tutti quei volontari che invece ci hanno dimostrato di potersi sporcare le mani imparando non solo un attività ma anche uno stile di vita.

Fue una experiencia enriquecedora en muchos aspectos, el estar en un lugar rodeado de naturaleza viviendo el día a día de una persona que se dedica a la granja es algo que deja huella. Es un trabajo que en algunos momentos puede ser pesado, pero con compañeros se puede llegar a cabo sin problema. Lo recomiendo si buscan tener nuevas experiencias y otras formas de ver la vida!

La estancia con la granja fue realmente buena. Más allá de un líder de voluntariado, fue también alguien con quien poder hablar de muchas cosas y que mostraba preocupación por el bienestar de cada uno. Sobre el trabajo, no es especialmente difícil pero hay días en los que hay muchos y otros los que menos, son trabajos sobretodo físicos pero soportables por cualquiera con un poco de forma física y si no, la granja es bastante comprensivo y atiende a las diversidades de cada individuo. Es un trabajo duro y crea conciencia de la dureza de la vida de un pastor. Lo recomiendo si se está mentalizado

El voluntariado está en un lugar hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza y con animales especiales, como cabras, perros y gatos, con quienes fue enriquecedor compartir tiempo. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia no fue lo esperado por la falta de cercanía y comunicación del anfitrión. Las explicaciones de las tareas no siempre fueron claras, y en algunos casos, las reacciones no fueron adecuadas. Tampoco sentimos una verdadera conexión con el anfitrión, lo que nos llevó a irnos antes de lo acordado. Creemos que este tipo de experiencias requiere de un buen ambiente. De todas formas agradezco lo aprendido.
