Peter, Barbara, Noel and Fleur, Thank you for opening your home and farm and forest for me to be experience. I really enjoyed trying to master the wood fired oven and cooking eating and having a few drinking together. A great collaborative experience with Noel who was open and engaged in learning and sharing new cooking experiences. This was my first volunteering experience and was lucky to have been involved with such a nice family and also to meet there great friends who I worked on a few small projects with. That's you Tom, Werner and Stephan

Reuben is a man to behold. A round 50 these days. A professional cook if ever there was one. He taught our son Nol as much as he could in his whirrlewind way. An explosive totally impressive Hakka now and then shook the mountain. A party was treated like a Hakka. Around him entertainment takes another shape. A creative talent and mind that sees no boundaries. That helped inspiration to the day of today in our kitchen. Greetings and all the best from Sunny Croatia.

I had a wonderful month at the project, spending time learning, gardening and relaxing in nature. The property is beautiful, the food is delicious, and having my own bus to sleep in was a treat after so much time on the road! I ended up being the only volunteer (unusual) so did sometimes miss interacting with people my own age, but it was also really nice spending more time with the family who are very welcoming and friendly 🙂. I really enjoyed working with Barbara, and her enthusiasm and positivity is a joy to see!

Dear Luca! I just discovered we did not write a review for you. A man of many talents for sure. With a sharp mind. Working on the land, making objects with 3D printing, designing a movie in three parts and writing the scrit for that. He was very structured and effectively goal oriented. A child of his time without a doubt. And very dedicated to learning things that create solutions small and big. His humor stretched my ancient mind. Well, ancient, we all have ancient minds. But he knew how to walk the boundary and stretch the mind of me a 64 year 'old' man. We had a lot of laughs and worked hard. A very recommenadable character who really means business. Sorry Luca, I think we missed somehow to give you feedback. We noticed that other feedbacks also didn't arrive somehow. Maybe that's due to my dinosaur mind. Auguri amico mio. Possa il 2024 essere generoso con te e i tuoi cari. Abbracci.

I was happy to learn about the concepts of permaculture and sustainable living in this experience. Schedules are very flexible and activities are enjoyable. The food is exceptional! Nol is a great cook and cooking enthusiast, always coming up with amazing meals! I thank the whole family for welcoming me during the experience.

I am grateful for Barbara, Peter, Nol and Fleur for hosting me! I felt home and had a good life experience, sharing time with the family and volunteers. They provided me and my boyfriend with a big room in the house with comfortable beds and GREAT meals, prepared mostly by Nol. The dinner time was always fun and it was nice to sit all together and chat about many different subjects. It was good to learn about gardening and preparing Kefir, Kombucha and fermented vegetables with Barbara. They were flexible with time and gave us lifts when needed. It is a beautiful place to connect to nature!

The experience at the project was truly like a home away from home. They were so welcoming and made me feel like I was part of the family right away. The property is full of wonder and interesting places to explore, not to mention all the handmade designs / decorations / and projects! (so much cool wood everywhere...) Barbara and Peter (and Nol and Fluer) are so fun and full of life, I visited at the beginning of winter (volunteering as a chef), and had tons of fun picking the last of the season's mushrooms, chatting over meals & drinks, hanging with the animals, etc. I'll be back in summer!

Amazing place to discover and learn about everything!! I'm so happy that i have been part of this project. Met beautiful people, cooked with Nol (He is a really good chef) and Barbara who also knows a lot about cooking! and eat delicious food, enjoy nature, forest, animals. It was also time to pick mushrooms so I got really into it and it was just amazing. Learn about permaculture, and how to approach everything! I also did a few construction projects with Peter and others volunteers where a learnt about wood. I guess I don't have space enough to write everything. THANK YOU the project

Staying in the project for a month was an incredible experience! Barbara and Peter are such lovely people and I am truly thankful for all the conversations, learning, lunch and dinner times, all the passion shared about nature, for showing their visions about life and sustainability, everything was amazing! Their children Noll and Fleur were a nice companionship as well, during campfires and other moments with all the volunteers. The food was delicious and the caravan where me and my boyfriend stayed as well. If you wanna be immersed in nature w/ nice people, that's the place!

My experience in the project was amazing. I learnt many things about permaculture, but also I really appreciate the fact that Barbara and Peter tried to help all of us to find or develop our personal projects. This is the perfect place if you want to learn about permaculture, spend time in nature (I'm really going to miss my daily walks through the forest), and have time to reflect on your life and projects. Nol's food is amazing and super healthy! He taught me how to cook some delicious Croatian dishes and I've had such a great time playing cards and hide and seek with Fleur!
