Farm helper at a peaceful sanctuary

The farm is a beautiful place. All the people are lovely. Most of the service takes place on the farm, where our accommodation is also located. The farm is a 15-minute walk from the temple, which wasn't a big problem for me. What I loved the most was having the opportunity to learn about Krishna consciousness and meet wonderful people. You'll enjoy it even more if you're interested in learning about the movement. I had the amazing opportunity to take part in a challenge called "To Be a Monk Challenge" the most beautiful experience I have ever had. I learnt so much. I totally recommend it.

I spent two weeks at the position and I can only be grateful. Although it was my first experience in a vegetarian and more rural environment, I was able to learn and reflect a lot. The work was simple, and the hours were respected. Ramai and all the other staff members were approachable and always willing to help.

La gente que me recibió es muy comunicativa, escuchan, son flexibles y buenas personas La comida de ese lugar no me hizo para nada bien. Una dieta muy pero muy limitada. Me fui sufriendo del estómago y si recuerdo la comida se me revuelve todo.

I felt very welcomed upon arrival, and my first impression was excellent. The shifts are scheduled and take up most of the day (3 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon). The view from the caravan is beautiful, although the nearby highway and substation result in constant traffic noise. I enjoyed the temple activities and learning more about Krishna devotion. The tasks were simple, and rain boots were provided. Volunteers are responsible for cleaning shared areas, so it's important to contribute. I left earlier due to personal reasons, and Ramai was very understanding. Thanks a lot!

Si eres vegetariano sin duda este lugar es para ti, a pesar del frío en el campo y tener duchas y baños fuera de las mismas habitaciones. Ir por el.desayuno (breakfast ) y almuerzo (lunch) a 10 minutos caminando de la habitaciónes. Es un lugar bueno si lo que quieres es estar cerca de Londres y días libres sacarle provecho a esta gran ciudad. Lagranjanesta a 2.horas en bus hasta llegar a londres ( tomando 3 buses) también está la opción del overgraund un poco más rápido pero los horarios son diferentes y un poco más costoso. Todo lo demás está bien. Haré Krishna

I had a good experience. The field work is outdoors, it is quite cold in winter but it is good to work almost always in a group. The host is very attentive and flexible if you need something in particular. I liked having been able to attend events at the temple because it allows you to get to know the local culture. Very good food, very tasty.

I definitely recommend this place, everyone was so welcoming and you connect with the other travels and have a great time, the work isn't hard usually and the hours are less then what was agreed upon

This was my first volunteer experience & I don't think I will find a better one. I kept extending my stay because I didn't want to leave. The work is fair & the food is delicious! If you want to immerse yourself in the culture you have to put some effort into it. Like going to the morning or evening temple programs. This is because the temple is about a 10-15 minute walk from the farm. But it's totally worth it & a great experience. 2 out of the 3 washing machines didn't work when I arrived, 1 partly got fixed on my last week

My time at the farm was awesome! So many lovely volunteers and the work was never too long. There was always fun to have and little excursions out to the middle of London china town. I would've loved to have learnt more about the community they're attached to and supporting however it's a bit hard due to the set up of the farm, they were clearly actively working on this though which was awesome to see. Meals were always plentiful and delicious. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to volunteer here.
