I loved my time at the project. Ben and the whole team are great. You can volunteer based on your skill set. For example, I helped organized events, other people take care of the animals, technical jobs, etc. There are private rooms (without heating and plumbing) and dorm style in a central house with plumbing, heat, etc. About 40 minutes from city center by bus and there are night buses. Great place especially in summer and fall, there are lots of volunteers (15-20ish) so very social. Lots of amazing community projects are in the works! I am excited to return one day!

I really enjoyed the days I spent at the project, the nature, the other lovely volunteers and the friendly goats really made it beautiful. I unfortunately had to leave early due to an emergency and everybody has been very flexible and kind about it. I'm really happy I got to live this experience!

I volunteered at the project for a week and had a great experience. Ben was a kind and supportive host, and even welcomed my friend to join. The tasks were manageable and we often finished early, helping out with other small jobs. The other volunteers were friendly and created a welcoming atmosphere. the project is a unique place with a great sense of community. I'd love to volunteer there again and highly recommend it to others!
