Kirill and Natalia are such lovely welcoming hosts who made sure I had everything I needed. The tasks were simple with flexible working hours. Latvia is beautiful and there was plenty of down time to go explore the beautiful surrounding countryside or take the bus into neighboring cities. This was a great first world packers experience!

My experience at the farm was my first worldpackers experience so I don't have the chance to compare it to something else. Nevertheless this was a very pleasing stay, much over my expectations. Kirill and his family are very respectful and they do everything to make yourself comfortable. I think that if I have to describe this experience with one sentence I would say "Take it easy!" I enjoyed every moment, purified my soul in the beautiful nature that surrounds the property, shared some happy memories in front of a warm bowl of soup and a bonfire. If you seek freedom, this is it!

This experience was totally lovely !! Really good balance between work, socializing, explore and just chill. Kirill and Natalia are super care about I was having fun and enjoying my time here, I also had the opportunity to meet an awesome group of local people that show me how they life here and how the are part of this disruptive group of Latvian people like Kirill and have the chance to truly connect in here. I feel like I truly connect and now I have a place in Latvia and all of them have a place in Mexico. Simply amazing. Todo muy chingón, son los mejores ! 🫰🏼🇲🇽🇷🇺🇱🇻

Kirill and his family are the best hosts, and will make sure that you're comfortable and you have all you need during your stay. They're very flexible with timings and work, and the place is absolutely beautiful. If staying close to nature is your thing you'll definitely love the ranch. Perfect for a first time volunteer as well. 10/10 will recommend.

I spent 1 month at the farm. It was my first time volunteering and I am grateful that I chose it. From the first moment I felt a good atmosphere with the family. The work is quite simple, chopping firewood, gardening and following Kirill and Natalia's needs. The accommodation was nice, you are surrounded by nature. Thank you the farm for this experience in such a beautiful place.
