Nancy’s dairy was my 1st volunteer exchange, & the BEST month of my life.
Each day is fulfilling tasks & talk, much room for relaxing. Morning is good work, after break we cook up great food for all, & then milk some pretty goats! Prepare to get dirty & let loose!
There’s endless acceptance & LOTS they will teach you. You’re always encouraged to try new things, engage animals, & have fun. The dairy’s history is rich & fascinating, like many interactions on farm. There’s sm priceless info & skills I learned. Forever grateful to Nancy & all inhabitants!
Will return soon! Highly recommend!

This was truly such a beautiful experience, far from anything I could've imagined. I loved being away from the rest of the world, quite literally 2 hours from the next town. Each volunteer gets their own cabin, which is separated from the kitchen for plenty of comfort and privacy.

The hosts...I don't even want to call them "hosts" as I see them as friends are two absolutely beautiful souls. Due to my unfortunate health issues I was unable to stay the length I wanted, however, they connected me with some friends and I have a new forever home in ABQ and am welcome back for a visit anytime.❤️
