I spent a wonderful three weeks at the project in May. It wasn't just volunteering for me, it was therapy in every way. The house and the project are beautiful and the family were very welcoming and treated me like family. I learnt a lot about how to care for the animals, what tasks can arise in the project and how to handle them. Ellen is a wonderful person, you can learn a lot about sustainable living from her.

Heya! I spent two weeks at the project with Ellen, Sven, and their daughters, and I can truly say it was a lovely, enriching, and wonderful experience. From caring for the animals to working in the project, everything felt meaningful and fulfilling. I especially enjoyed being immersed in nature and spending time in such a peaceful and quiet environment. Ellen and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, they made me feel completely at ease and truly included.
