Pedesaan Farm
Pedesaan Farm is still a work in progress, and it is not a luxurious resort. But you can experience the joy of living a slow life in the desa (village), being close to nature, just where we belong.
Our village is very remote but also accessible by public transport from Jakarta / Bogor. We are surrounded by 113.357 hectares of Halimun Salak national park.
You can also see how and why we are trying hard to adopt permaculture & regenerative agriculture principles on our farm. Note that we are still heavily figuring out how to do it correctly. We are learning by doing.
As a farm owner, I'm not around during weekdays. But we have Rio, our farm manager, and 6 other staff doing their daily routines. You will work with them most of the time.
Besides keeping you busy, they will also bring you for outdoor activities (trekking, river, jungle, waterfall) and make take care of you during your stay.
Our kitchen staff will cook Indonesian food for you 2x a day, and you can also help yourself for breakfast (we provide bread, butter, jam, and milk)
We also have housekeeping staff, so no cleaning is necessary.

About the experience in: Sukabumi Regency, Indonesia
France
The farm is absolutely beautiful, and everything is perfectly organized to make you feel welcomed and supported. Barir is so kind and always there for us, and Emi is an incredible cook — every meal was delicious. The farm work can be a bit physical but it's totally doable. The activities, like visiting waterfalls, the beach, or a hidden mountain village, make the experience even more special.

From the beginning until the end I kept on learning. I experienced how to stick to a slow flexible routine, developed my gardening and agricultural abilities, expanded my permaculture knowledge, get along with amazing people and discovered new life philosophies. More specifically I learned about; seeding, compost, baking bread, cultural exchange, harvesting, weeding, planting and water management. The other volunteers were most of the time respectful and really easy to hang with. Thanks to Min Ki and his amazing, joyful and smily team who's happiness is simply contagious. Such a great place!!

This experience has been fantastic since the moment I arrived. I immediately felt welcomed by the team and the other volunteers. The place is wonderful, far from tourist spots, perfect for immersing yourself in nature.The dorm is comfortable, the food is good, working hours are clear. Desta and Emi made me feel at home, Barir conveys his enthusiasm for permaculture, Adan was a fantastic guide for our hike in the forest (I strongly recommend the visit to the ancestral village). I couldn't have asked for anything better for my first workaway experience and I hope to meet them again in the future

Barir was an amazing leader, he is kind, patient, rises to any occasion and is always enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of techniques, permacture or plants. This experience completely fills the soul, I had time to read and draw but also felt like I impacted the maintance of a mighty farm. Elmiah is an upbeat friendly woman easy to laugh with. Min ki the owner is respectful and flexible with people's circumstances. I would 100% go back. Ps the meals are fantastic.
