I never thought I'd have the opportunity to volunteer at THE ONLY the host in the host, but I'm really glad I did. My ice cream scooping muscles have come a long way, as have my tour guide skills. It was a great experience working with the local staff, tasting all the host products (ice cream, RICOTTA CAKE, cheese, and more!), chillin with animals, and bonding with fellow volunteers, the founders & Mary. Things to note! (1) the volunteer house is not at the host, it's 5km from the town center (2) WiFi is not reliable - grab a Unitel simcard (3) use inDrive or Loca to get around

I had an amazing experience volunteering at the host Farm. The work schedule was well-structured, with four days of volunteering per week. The main task was giving guided tours of the farm to tourists which allowed me to learn so much about the host and the impact of this project on the local community. The founders, Rachel, Susie and Steven are truly passionate and deeply involved in the project. They were very supportive and we shared delicious dinner prepared by Mary. The volunteer house was comfortable and the atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend! 😊

Impressive achievement by Susie, Steven and Rachel, the farm is beautiful, also lovely animals and really cool Lao staff :) Though the profiles could use some corrections and clarifications: Volunteers are expected to work 4 days a week from 10AM to 6PM-7PM, with 1 hour lunch break, totaling at least 28-29 hrs, more than advertised 25 hrs. This schedule includes a 30 min drive from the volunteer's house to the farm. Sometimes the communication with one of the hosts was rude and bossy. The volunteer house is 10 min by scooter to Luang Prabang (you have to rent it). Few amenities nearby

My stay at the host Farm was amazing, I felt welcomed as soon as I got there! Suzie, Steven, and Rachel are lovely, and all the farm staff are also. I had the best time learning about the animals and trying the host, it was amazing! Sometimes the work might seem too long but everything is fixed when you go back home and you have the best dinners made by Mary!
