About the experience in: Laren, Netherlands
Spain
I can't even believe how fast these four months have passed! From the first day, Joanne, Johannes and all the family made me feel welcome. They have created something really special. Not only an amazing farm, but also a beautiful community where you feel part of the family from first moment. The weekly tasks are exactly according to the agreed working hours. Everything is well organised and there is always someone to help if you have questions. You never feel alone. They really care about your wellbeing and always make sure you are comfortable and happy.

I had an amazing time on the farm! I learned so much, from cheese making to the rhythm of a working dairy farm. Tasks were clear and satisfying, and it felt good to contribute to such a meaningful community. It's a great opportunity to learn new skills and live in a beautiful part of The Netherlands! Highly recommend!

Working and living on the farm was a wonderful experience. The farm is nearly entirely run by local volunteers and it is impressive to see and be a part of such a unique organization. Our stay was very comfortable and we would not hesitate to recommend this opportunity to anyone who is interested.

The experience at the farm was amazing! We spent two months sharing time with them and we loved it. We were very enthusiastic to learn the dairy farm work and we gained even more knowledge since they also have a dairy products business. We were lucky to also share the experience with two other volunteers from France, which made it very friendly and helped us a lot in learning. The hosts always make sure you are well and that there is a good working environment. We recommend this experience 100%, where they will allow you to learn and help you throughout the process.
