I had the pleasure of volunteering at the project for two weeks in May. The place itself is a very peaceful environment and provided me with a setting that felt like home. There was always an activity to help out with, whether it be building or farming related, which contributed to the feeling that you were making improvements. Jasur and Noni were great hosts who always made sure that you were well fed and comfortable. I was able to meet many locals and foreigners alike during my time here. It was enjoyable to hear many different perspectives from all around the world. Highly recommend.

Stayed at the project Farms for 3 weeks. Such an incredible experience. Jasur is an awesome dude with tons of wisdom on life and business. Very flexible with tasks and hours and gives volunteers the freedom to contribute to whatever they think will improve the farm. Had plenty of time to surf, sometimes twice a day, while also contributing to different construction projects around the farm. Food is also incredible and so fresh.

I had a wonderful time during my stay at the project! It's amazing what they've built in such a short time. From day one, I felt like part of the family—sharing meals and stories with Jasur and Noni and the hardworking team. My cabin was super cute and cozy, and the work was flexible. They encourage volunteers to share ideas and truly value each person's contribution. The BBQ nights were the best—so delicious! I'll miss those the most. I'm excited to visit again in the future and see how everything continues to grow and thrive!

Hi Pame, thank you for the wonderful review on Worldpackers! We're so happy to hear you had such a fantastic time at Mawun Valley Farm and felt like part of our family from the start, enjoying the meals, stories, and contributing your ideas. It's great you found your cabin cozy and appreciated the flexible work. We're especially thrilled you loved our BBQ nights! Knowing you're already planning a future visit to see the farm grow is the best compliment, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back.

Spending ten days volunteering on the farm was honestly one of the best experiences I've had. Every day was simple but full. Waking up with the roosters, working close to the land, and learning from people who are truly passionate about what they do. People who made me feel like part of the family from day one. It's definitely a natural and local experience (think early mornings, physical (and flexible hours) work, and simple living), but that's exactly what makes it so special. I couldn't recommend it more!
