The Experience

This is a Permaculture principals based project in which we’re taking care of a secondary forest, five at level terraces where our edible forest is growing beautifully every day, using the principles of syntropic agroforestry. There are also vegetable gardens close to our home, as well as a green house, and a composting center. We're happy to share our lifestyle with a worldwide community, acting locally and having a global impact!

What a wonderful time at the farm with Jeff, Ana, Dani and Max. I felt so welcomed and they took every opportunity to help me learn about things. The farm is very organised and you do different tasks every day, with the possibility to learn about every area that they are working on. Lennon the dog is a sweetheart and loves a cuddle. The days are well balanced with work in the mornings and a chance to relax or do something creative in the afternoons. I was the only volunteer for 2 of my 3 weeks and I thought I'd be lonely and maybe a bit bored, but that was not the case! Highly recommend!

Anamor, Dani, Max and Jeff were amazing! They were all so kind and attentive and really made you feel welcome. The farm is the perfect place to connect with nature and also with yourself. You'll have lots of free time after volunteering, and it's possible you'll be the only volunteer. So this opportunity is perfect if this is what you're looking for. The tasks are varied each day which keeps it really interesting. It was fun to learn about organic farming and I also got to help with a bioconstruction project. They offer wellness/ permaculture classes. Beautiful farm and beautiful people!
