I had a great time at Simon's and Jessica's place! The working time was very reasonable and Simon ensured, that the tasks don't become repetetive or boring. On top, Simon took the time to explain the why and what while giving practical advice, making this voluneering a great experience for learning about various topics: gardening, permaculture, animals and most of all practical tipps and tricks for handywork and life on a farm. I can only recommend visiting them and will give a final advice to those of you who do: Working as a team to win against Simon in Monopoly is a valid strategy. Thanks:)

Al ser nuestra primera experiencia haciendo un voluntariado, no tuvimos ningún tipo de expectativas. Pero fue una experiencia increíble y super interesante! Aprendimos y ayudamos en proyectos sobre jardinería y construcción, y aprendimos a alimentar a distintos tipos de animales como perros, gatos, conejos, gallinas y patos. Simon y Jessica fueron super amables, pacientes y comprensibles en cada momento. Los vamos a extrañar! PD: Uno de los mejores momentos de nuestra experiencia fue jugar Monopoly Deal con Simon mientras tomabamos Kombucha y Ginger Beer!✨

I stayed 2 weeks with Simon and Jessica in the Center. They are a lovely family enjoying simple life in the nature. Work was diverse like paintaing, wood construction, planting, gardening, feeding animals, cooking... Simon is patient and happy to teach you. Lots of break to relax, enjoy homemade fresh ginger beer and play games. Food was delicious and fresh from the garden or local market. The place is beautiful and comfortable, surrounded by mountains and close to the center. Amazing stay! Enjoy!

We had a great time learning about permaculture farming. We were up around 7am each morning to feed animals and and eat breakfast together. Building, weeding, painting were some tasks with homemade kombucha breaks around 11am, lunch around 12:30 and then finished for the day unless on evening animal or dinner duty. The hosts were great and super welcoming, the pets are lovely and time explore the region. Card games together were a common things and the food we ate was great. We really enjoyed the experience!

Staying at the Center was an amazing experience, Simon and Jessica provided amazing support and were extremely welcoming, something which was very important to me as this was my first volunteering experience. During my time here I learnt many useful life skills such as plumbing, electrical work, welding and roofing. The food was also very good, with a wide variety of types of meals. In addition to how nice the actual volunteer site is, the town is very close to the farm and is full of very friendly people. Thank you Simon and Jessica for providing me with such an amazing experience!

writing Daniels review here as unfortunately we didn't get to it in time to publish the normal way.
Daniel was with us for close to 4 months. During that time he was up for helping with all asked of him and saying yes to every opportunity to try new things like entering a triathlon when he hadn't ridden a bike much before. We greatly appreciated his help and enjoyed having him around. Highly recommended.

A wonderful welcoming experience in a beautiful setting. Simon and Jessica were absolutely amazing and we had fun completing projects with the other volunteers. Gianni and I had an amazing time and we would 100% recommend this experience to other volunteers.

We had a fantastic week doing the internship at the Center Farm in Mizque! This internship was a very rich and rewarding experience, we got to learn so many hands-on skills including welding, woodworking, metalworking, plumbing, and gardening. It was amazing to be involved in such a wide variety of projects and to gain practical experience in each of them. A huge thank you to Simon and Jessica for sharing your knowledge, your space, and your vision with us. We highly recommend the Center to anyone looking to learn and contribute in a meaningful way!

I had an amazing time staying at Simon's place. It was a very interesting place and surrounded by incredible scenery. I completed a variety of tasks and learned a lot about the environment and Simon's clever and innovative systems. The whole family as well as the wide range of animals at the farm made me feel very welcome and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a new and exciting experience living on a farm in rural the Center.
