What a special first experience this was for me! The family is absolutely wonderful!! Full of love, laughs and good food. I got to experience so many different tasks throughout the month. The seasons change so beautifully there and they dabble in so many different things. They made me feel so comfortable, made sure my needs were met, and made sure I was comfortable with all the tasks. I got to work with the animals, in the gardens, and make some cool foods throughout my time. I highly reccomond this place. I left with not just a beautiful experience but also some amazing friends. ❤️
