I've spent almost 2 weeks on the farm and i had a wonderful time. The farm is in the mountains and you will be really immersed in nature. The land is beautiful and is perfect to disconnect from the busy city life. I've worked on the farm and we were building a cob house from scratch, which was really amazing to experience. Jacques and Juliana are very nice people and willing to help you with many things. Thank you both for this amazing experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on this family's eco farm. The type of work was always varied which led to an enjoyable experience during the work days. And on my time off the housing for volunteers was so comfortable and clean to enjoy and relax in peace. The farm owners are fun, respectful, and supportive. I was here only a week, however if I had more time I would gladly stay for a month or longer.

Tive uma experiência maravilhosa voluntariando no projeto com a Ju e o Jacques, onde aprendi sobre jardinagem, manejo de alimentos e cuidados com a natureza. Eles designam atividades de acordo com a capacidade de cada um, as horas acordadas foram cumpridas e as vezes até menos, com tempo de sobra pra aproveitar a região, muito tranquilo! A casa de voluntários é uma das mais legais que já fiquei, assim como a área da fazenda com pássaros cantando o tempo todo! Mais que anfitriões, eles se tornaram amigos. Nos levaram para conhecer lugares além da fazenda e estavam sempre lá quando precisasse.
