Jorge is a wonderfull host with a lot of energy and care for his volunteers! He is able to provde all the answers you seeking for regarding Agave and the organization production and beyond. Despite it was my first farm work experience, I found all tasks doable but challenging :) thanks to Jorge and other volunteers who were sharing the same motivation it became hard but fun teamwork to be involved. I reccomend if you are going to volunteer ask Jorge which tasks you will perform and prepare yourself menthally and physically ( sleep and proper outfit).

From social impact to thorough knowledge about the organization, from connection with Nature to immersion in local culture, from experiencing a wonderful team to living in a non-touristic Mexican city, this is one of my best volunteering experiences if not the best! Work starts early and it is hard but if you are a hard-worker with ideally some experience in the field, be sure that this experience will give you back more than you can imagine in terms of emotions, knowledge and of course, the organization. Last but not least, Jorge and Ale are great hosts, extremely helpful and understanding.

Surely one of the best experiences I have ever had and an admirable project led by Jorge! I can only recommend the organization, the work on the farm can be intense but you know why you do it! If you want to be close to the locals and know Mexico, go for it! A volunteering that makes sense! The city of Miahuatlan is not big but it has everything you need for a great stay! You can also easily travel during your free days. Thanks again, I hope to come back one day!

I absolutely loved my stay at the organization. The work is very diverse, you get to see, do and learn a lot of different things in the community and regarding the organization farming. It was a very authentic, local and profound experience for me. The farming is definitely hard and sometimes monotonous/draining, but Jorge is an amazing host and manages to make everyone feel heard and welcome and find solutions together. He also took us to meet lots of interesting and inspiring people and I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you so much for everything and all the best for the future!
