My experience at the farm was not what I expected. The description mentioned 25 weekly hours, but upon arrival, it was 30. (The description of the activities was modified today) On the first day, the task was to collect snails on my knees for 7 hours, crawling through weeds and spiders. After that, there were extra "micro-tasks." The atmosphere was not one of volunteering, but cheap labor, with no moments of relaxation. You sleep in a tent, and the environment is tense. Tiziana's daughters are lovely, but the project needs to change direction—there is a lack of transparency and balance.

We are very honesty and nice people live in a simple way and try to give always the best we can. We have a beautiful big living room with sofa which it is a greenhouse close by mosquitoes net and plastic and the tent is there and not outside at the rain. The meal are very abbondant without any fee request. I offer Thai massage and show how to recognize edible weeds in the field.we are new project and my self i was a woofer working always what it is need without expectation and i learn a lot from that.
Juan came 5 days after the expected day and he Left a week before leave his place empty. It is not fair. Once you have a commitment. We spoke and I gave him many solutions and I don't think his reviews helps our project. Also we never forced him to work.

Fue una experiencia genial! Lo disfruté mucho y aprendí cosas que no sabía y que son muy útiles para la vida diaria. La familia es muy amable al igual que sus pequeñas niñas. En general una experiencia muy agradable, el lugar te da paz y tranquilidad , hermosas vistas.
