This is a very special place, I feel very lucky I got to spend time here. the community has made a big impact on my life and what I learned here I plan to bring with me as I continue through life. Thank you to all the wonderful people, animals and the mountains! I am so grateful!

My experience at the community was amazing, being with the mountains, the garden, and the goats was truly a transformative experience for me. Although sometimes the instructions for work were not very clear, as I don't understand much French but generally was able to connect with people even with a language barrier. The work is not for the faint of heart but I enjoyed learning about how to take care of the land and the simplicity of this life. Everyone was welcoming, and we shared many laughs and joys playing music and cooking over a fire.This is the place for anyone wanting to escape society!

I had the best time at the community! The farm is so beautiful, expansive and the gardens are stunning. The work is hard but there are lots of breaks and the food was very healthy. Go if you want to be really embedded in nature. The nearest little town is long walk so unless you get a lift you can't really go anywhere. My only critiques would be that the work plan and hours/days off were never really clarified. At the start I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing, but I figured it out. Also, because of the nature farm life, there aren't really days off. Still I had a fantastic few weeks!

This was quite an immersion into off-the-grid living. The contrast it has with „normal“ life was quite large but definitely adaptable. There was definitely a language barrier that held some deep connections from forming, but we found our ways around them usually. The work is hard, and the hours are pretty flexible depending on when you needed/wanted a break. The goat herding is hard, so bring a good pair of hiking boots/shoes. My main issue was with the water, as there is some bacteria or something that makes most visitors stomachs upset and that was the reason why my stay was cut short.

The community is a beautiful farm, a great community of people in the mountains. The place is far from any city and nature is beautiful. Accomodation is pretty simple and nice, but can be tough when it's cold. Being here means living in a community, working in the garden, cooking on fire, eating vegetables grown on the land, having fun dinners and playing music :) Work can be hard sometimes, but it's done slowly, all together, and you can always rest if needed.It's better to stay here for longer as there is a lot to learn: goats, being a shepherd, making cheese, horses, managing garden and more :)
