My girlfriend Bea and I spent a week volunteering with Deva and her team, we had a wonderful time! I really enjoyed feeding the cows and helping cut the grass on farm 2. It was nice going to local balinese markets, meeting new people, exploring town, farming and working on my moped skills 😊 Thank you Deva for giving us our own personal space in your home as-well as being so generous and understanding. Our time will be unforgettable 🌿☕️🐄

We had an amazing time volunteering and staying with Deva! She is such a bubbly, generous and active person. Together we worked with a fellow volunteer Sumi (also lovely and friendly) cutting grass, feed cows & pick cherries. It's definitely hard work!! But it's always a laugh and makes you appreciate the experience more. Deva isn't kidding the ride to the farm is difficult but surrounded by absolutely stunning rice fields, devo ensure you can ride a bike before. We found it rewarding and memorable, allowing us to meet new people, connect with nature and explore ubud. Thank you so much! 💗😚🍂🐮

HI Sam.. Thank you for coming out to volunteer on the farm; it was a pleasure to have you. It was a pity that in the end, you felt a great deal of pressure from external sources. I hope you are still dreaming of the Luwak coffee> I understand you did enjoy the farms and the bike rides. WE wish you well in Sumatra.. and with your future endeavors.

My boyfriend and I recently had the pleasure of volunteering with Deva, and I can confidently say it was one of the most rewarding experiences. Deva was an awesome host, we felt very welcomed to her home and learned so much about the local life there. When it came to volunteering at the farm, we had the opportunity to pick the farm cherries, help build her the farm house in Ubud, and learn how to maximize the farm yields naturally. My time in Bali wouldn't have been quite as immersive if it weren't for this experience here at the farm.

Hi, we enjoyed our time here with Deva at Pemberri the farm! She's an incredibly interesting individual and if there's any reason to choose this opportunity over others it's meeting her and hearing all of her stories! She also happens to be a very accommodative host, which we appreciated. We chose to volunteer for over a week after we explored around a bit across the island, and something I noticed in retrospect is that some of the most memorable experiences were actually while I was volunteering here rather than when I was sightseeing!

From the very first day I felt so well welcomed. I spent 2 weeks, that went too fast! The experience at the the farm was great. I learned so much and am so grateful for these quality moments with the farmers and Deva. She opened the doors to her home, so I truly felt like a family member. The area is very nice and quiet, so if you are looking for a local experience far from touristic places, that's the one! Would recommend it a thousand times. For sure an experience and people I will never forget! Thanks for this opportunity! Made me grow.

Deva is an absolute joy to work with. She provides clear daily tasks and objectives, making the work efficient and enjoyable. Working on the farm is challenging at times but incredibly fulfilling. I had the opportunity to work closely with the locals, like Fary and Pak-Madeh, who are so friendly and experienced. If you give them your heart, they will give you theirs. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone seeking an adventure off the beaten path.

My time with Deva was wonderful, I learned about the farm plants, about vanilla plants and also about life in our conversations at breakfast or dinner. the farm require quite a lot of work and it is satisfying to da good job. The guesthouse is very comfortable, you have your own space to relax. The motorcycle rides were one of my favorite things about this experience. Working together with Pak Madya was also great, even though he doesn't speak English, we were able to communicate well and worked side by side in the best way. The house is close to the center of ubud, so it is easy to get aroun

Deva was very welcoming in her home, made fresh smoothies and banana bread, and was very social. Her house and garden are beautiful, lots of fruits and amazing outside shower! My days consisted of picking the farm cherries, weeding and measuring up for planning of new buildings on the farm. There's a lot of work to be done and a lot of potential. I learnt a lot about Balinese life/ culture also. I did expect the experience to be more organised however overall I still enjoyed it. Be prepared for mosquitoes with repellent and correct clothing and riding moped to the farm.

My experience at the farm was overall good. I wish I would have had a little more guidance and teaching around the farm about permaculture and about the whole process from farming to the ready-to-sale product. I think it would have been funnier for me to be with other volunteers and maybe staying longer as well. Deva is a nice host and she is flexible ! I am glad I have had this experience to learn about what it is to own an the farm and fruit plantation as a foreigner in Bali.
