The Experience

Once you arrive you will learn about the place and the day to day tasks, and then you will have a chance to do a bit of everything. Always taking into account that the tasks are shared equally.

I volunteered at the farm for 6 weeks and had such a great experience. Everyone was super kind, welcoming, and supportive from day one, which made it really easy to settle in. The work was meaningful and well organized. The overall vibe was very positive, and you could really see how much everyone cared about the farm. I'm really grateful for my time there and would definitely recommend it to other volunteers!

The farm is a truly magical place. Perfect for everyone who loves working with animals and in nature. Sam is a great host, and his whole family is nice and welcoming. They have the most amazing animals such as meerkats, owls, coaties, turtles, a lot of birds and more. The working hours are regulated very good, everyone always knows what their tasks are. Also Sam is pretty flexible for example if you need to move your days off he will try his best to make your wish come true. Nice Food and nice rooms! Thanks for the great time. 🌞

My experience at the farm was a perfect first time experience, Sam and his family were so helpful and no matter what questions I had wether it be about the work or something about a day trip I was planning he was always available with advice even in emergency situations which made me feel really reassured. The work was very structured, you knew when to start and when you were free including off days & if you didn't like certain jobs you were often allowed to do which one you preferred.

Definitely great experience! Sam and Everyone at the Center the farm was nice and welcoming. The working hour are very reasonable and fare. The work itself is not too hard (exept waking up a bit early) and there are a lot of jobs around the place, and you can ask to do different things. But the best thing to me was the great volunteers that I met and the friends that I made there. Recommended!

I'm so glad that I picked the farm as my first World packers experience! Everyone I met here was kind and welcoming, Sam is a great host. If there is a job you don't want to do (weeding) he is happy to let you do something different. I really enjoyed looking after the animals, you will absolutely fall in love with them during your time here. The meerkats and Pepe were the highlight of my trip (as well as the other volunteers of course!). Many thanks to Sam and everyone at the farm who made this experience so wonderful. I Hope to come back some day!
