I had a great experience at Gokul farm. Work was fun and there is always something different and stimulating to do. Everything is managed in a very relaxed way by Ramai and Kc. You can also take part at the ceremonies at the temple, which I found interesting. Caravans were nice and warm, there is enough common space and also so much nature around if you feel like you need alone time. Met amazing volunteers here and I would definitely recommend!

Hare Krishna. My exchange at the farm and the temple was so special. When you arrive, you notice that the air is different in this place, surrounded by the warmth and good energy of many spiritual brothers. The balance between the Hare Krishna culture and the spiritual side is incredible. I had a lot of fun, reconciling the work at the farm with the astrology and yoga sessions. The contact and connections with nature and the animals, such as feeding the cows, were absolutely fantastic. Ramai and KC are great at providing guidance and explanations.They are always organized and attentive.🙌🪴🍃🙌🪷

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the farm. From the moment i arrived, i felt welcome and part of the team. The activities and task were given were well-organized and allow me to learn so much about sustainable farming practices. I particularly enjoyed the variety of tasks were given, which ranged from planning kale, shaving, feeding cows, etc. Each task was carefully explained and supervised, which made me feel confident and supported throughout my stay. Also learn about Hare Kshna counsiusness and they bring different activities for volunteers like yoga clases.
