My time at the farm was an unforgettable and deeply rewarding experience. The girls at the local school are really welcoming; they are always ready to play games, do sports, or just chat. I truly recommend visiting this community. The animals are really easy to take care of, and the weather is amazing. You will have fun for sure!

Great place to stay and relax after a lot of travelling hours are very flexible and you have the option of working at the lodge or at the local school, so it is nice ego have that option. Close to town so everything you need is within walking distance. The work is rewarding to as you are helping improve the lodge.

I had a great time and varied tasks and experiences on the Center farm. It was great to incorporate the produce on the farm into my diet. I ate really well! Mizque is an interesting town and i had lots of opportunities to engage in the local culture..

Our experience at the farm was nice and fulfilling, we were only three volunteers there, so the vibe was super chill. We were the first people to come after the blockades in the Center so there is a lot to do, but the job is self managed and you can choose what task to focus on, Simon will tell what things need priorities too, it doesn't feel like is too hard with just 3hrs per day. I love also taking care of the animals,the dog is lovely will always follow us to town and the cats just love cuddles. Simon is not living there, but we met him on our last days there, he is nice and accommoda

Volunteering at the Center was a great experience. We were only in 3 people at the farm, accompanied by the animals that were there - 2 cats, a dog, chickens and a horse. It felt like our own farm for our stay as Simon was there only for the last few days so we were able to do tasks independently. There was a lot to do so we were able to fill the hours in the day easily. Mizque is a small, quiet town with a few activities to do around (via taxi) but it was warm and welcoming place and we learnt about permaculture and how the farm operates as well. Amazing to be able to eat fresh veg everday too
