I had the best time at the lodge's Farm! The tasks we were working on in the morning were variable and interesting. In the afternoon we had free time and explored the beautiful surroundings. We visited the waterfall, went tubing, went for walks.. I really felt welcomed by the lodge and her family and got to know Laos culture better. Would definitely recommend volunteering on the lodge's Farm!

It was my first time volunteering on a farm and i loved it !!! Every day we did something different: watering the crops, picking fruits and coffee beans, cutting wood and cleaning the garden, picking up cow shit, preparing the soil for planting… 3-4 hours in the morning and then free. the lodge and Mikele are very kind. Dina is such a cute and funny girl. There are lots of baby animals at the moment and they are so cute 😍 Mikele spend most of his time at the guesthouse and we work with the lodge, i wish she could speak more english so that we could learn more about Laos and their culture

We had a such a great week at the lodge's farm. We walked away feeling like we had a real authentic experience of Laos. the lodge, Michele and all the people we met during our stay were welcoming and kind to us. It is the highlight of our trip around SE Asia so far!

Great experience !! Michele and the lodge are very nice, they take time to answer any questions. The landscape is wonderful and the task at the farm are various. The dormitory is simple but you have mosquitoes nets around it so that's cool.
