I had a really good experience, I met a lot of people there, the job is easy, if you can live this experience don't think it twice. The only thing that you have to know is that you sleep in a caravan and is really important that you have your own sheets or sleeping bag because they don't have them, the caravan is old but with everything you need. You have to walk every day to the temple around 10 min for to get the 3 meals. The staff is really nice, I am pretty sure that you will have a really nice experience!!

This community is amazing I learnt a lot about hare Krishna movement. The farm is located 12 minutes from the temple and you have to walk there if you want to take your meals. Food is really yummy. The hours worked are 6 per day bit splited in all day, you start the shift at 9 am and you finish at just have 2 days off, literally. In the profile says that they have yoga classes but I Couldn't see any class. I don't know if it was for the season or they don't hace classes. The manager of the farm (Kc) is so nice, very friendly you have fun with him and you can learn a lot about farming.

Be prepared to work a lot here. It's 6h, from 9:30 until 17:15 with little breaks between them. This takes the hole day, cause dinner is at 18h and when you see it's already 19h, your day is ending and the last train to come back from London is around 21h, so you can't go there at the end of the day and come back. The accomodation is nice, the place has good energy and you'll learn about Hare Krishna culture. The food is amazing! Tastes like India. You can have a great time, but don't expect to go out of the farm that much. I felt stucked in there. In summer must be better, I was in spring.

My stay at the farm was truly great. I just started traveling again and couldn't have been welcomed better! Due to my arrival in late 2018 there wasn't as much variety in the tasks as usual but I got along so splendid with the other volunteers and staff that this didn't truly matter to me. The food was great, the accommodation was warm, even tough not the most tidy. However everything put together I can definitely recommend this place to other travelers and hope to come back there one day! You really made my stay a splendid one! Until our next encounter all the best to you guys!

It was an excellent experience!! It was my first time volunteering and it was great! The food, the people, the temple, the community, I learned a lot from everybody. The only thing I would suggest is to choose summer time, but if you don't mind the cold weather, you will as well enjoy the time at the farm. For sure, I will do it again!!

Everyone is super nice here. I loved learning about the farm, temple, and cows. It was a great experience! I met a lot of wonderful people. Be prepared to work ;) and if interested, to learn about the temple movement. Take advantage of your stay and participate in what ever you can. I certainly did take it all in. Thanks again to everyone there!

It's been a great experience, the peoples here are super nice. Especially the supervisor KC, I felt like home since the first day I arrived. And the Indian foods are delicious (despite the coriander). The works are easy but beware of the occasional hot weather. Before you go, checkout about the Hare Krishna movement, it may enhance the pleasure of the farm life

It was the best experience ever. I love the farm and also the life in the temple. It was beautifbul to know about the Hare Krsna community, feel the love and the devotional service everywhere it's something beautiful.

HARE KRISHNA I hope to come back some day!
