The Experience

We are a small organic farm (1 hectare) growing a ton of variety and advocating health, wellness, and environmental protection. Help us by doing daily farm work - 5hrs/day x 6 days a week. Watering, plant care, sowing, transplanting, mulching, etc. We will supply organic veggies (depending on what's available and excess after CSA harvest) but the rest cooking ingredients will not be provided. A huge kitchen with cookware is at your disposal.

I had spent at the farm and the farm whole three weeks and I can say this is such a healing place. I saw it as a nice escape, detox and opportunity to slow down, which I really needed. The farm is small, remote, quiet and really beautiful. I've learned a lot about sustainable farming and I hope I could use some of it at my own farm in Europe one day. the farm is really responsive and very caring. And I just love the story and idea behind the whole farm! Big thanks goes to Macel, who took care of me the whole time and taught me a lot! Marketa

The farm and the farm was truly a memorable and meaningful experience for me. I learned a lot about farming basic crops, from the first step to the last, how to take care of them, the growth up to the harvest period of some crops and how to care for the soil these plants are planted. The farm's staff including the farm and his family were very kind and generous with everything we needed in our stay and we had the chance to hang out with them as well which made our stay even wonderful. I highly recommend the farm if you really wanna learn and do some work!

Volunteering here has truly been such a healing journey for me. Not only did it deepen my love for the environment, but I also got to learn so much about farming. I even started to really appreciate some quiet, alone time—just being in the middle of nature and soaking it all in. Huge thanks to Macel for your incredible hospitality and thoughtfulness! And to Sir Denison, thank you for the warm welcome and for letting my friends join in on the fun too. This experience has been such an eye-opener, and honestly, my week here felt like home. 🌿💛

This place is for dive into nature, to work with love and care, to meet the amazingly kindhearted team, to experience how they live. At the end I felt I am so grateful that I had this opportunity. Of course the weather is hot, or it can be a bit hard sometimes, but everyone is so flexible, ready to help, they are taking good care about you. Thank you so so much, wish you all the best in future!

I'm deeply grateful to the farm and Jean for their kindness, hospitality, and wisdom—it truly felt like home. Thanks to Kuya Jun and Ate Abby's family for welcoming us like their own and always being there with support and laughter. Kuya Derek, thank you for patiently sharing your knowledge about farm life. To Macel, for the warmth and fun moments, and Daniel, my fellow volunteer, for the great companionship. This journey helped me heal, learn, and reconnect—I hope to return soon!
