My stay here was a truly magical experience, I had the opportunity of learning many new things; in the garden, in the friendships I made, and in the tranquility of the land. there are various tasks you can do, some more challenging than others, but it is very flexible, welcoming and a community that holds space for healing. 🌱 Open communication is key. Come with an open heart and an open mind and you will leave this place with exactly what you didn't know you needed. 🩷 my stay was not long enough to truly experience the farm, but it gave me a true gift, and I'm so grateful for this time. 🌀🌺

My stay with Avi and Chanty was absolutely wonderful. They are such warm, welcoming people who make everyone feel at home from the moment you arrive. The atmosphere they've created is inviting, comfortable, and full of genuine care. This was my very first volunteer experience, and it couldn't have been better. I learned so much during my time here and truly wish I could have stayed longer! I'm so grateful for the experience.

Abi and Chanty were incredibly welcoming and kind – truly wonderful people who make you feel at home from the very first moment. They not only treated us well, but also they explain every single task, as many times as needed, and always in the best way. They didn't just want us to complete each mission, but also to understand the why behind it, which we truly appreciated. We value so much everything we learned during our time there. And the food, I had never eaten such a wide variety vegan meals. I would recommend this experience to anyone considering volunteering here.
