Although a short time at the farm, it was still a good experience where I could witness up close sustainable projects such as the compostable dry toilet, biodigestor and food composting.
The tasks at the site are calm and the schedules are kept. Besides having the lake on the site itself, a few steps away there is a very nice waterfall and good trails.
Mari and Pedro, very receptive and welcoming, made us feel at ease. I highly recommend!

Volunteering at the site was a very memorable experience. The calm of the place, the contact with the land and the activities proposed taught me a lot about cultivation, recycling and preservation. Mariana, Pedro and Flora are extremely welcoming and flexible, which made everything even more special, especially because it is a place away from the city. It was also very nice to meet the family members, friends and the people who are part of the site's routine, such as Camilo and Samantha. I leave here with lessons learned, good memories and a lot of gratitude. And, for sure, I will come back to spend another season.

I highly recommend volunteering for this! Pedro and Mari have an amazing eco-sustainable project that is good for the planet. Also, every day you have the chance to meet a new bird species and many other animals.
The hosts are super lovely and do everything to make sure you have a great stay. They have a very cute little daughter, Florita, who completely stole our hearts.
The landscapes are simply amazing, and the place has several spots and natural attractions that make the experience even more special.

The farm was a magical place for me, full of nature; with each day we met another little bird, another small animal, good people, and Flora, the daughter of our hosts, was the strawberry on the cake, the light of the whole house. Pedro and Mari were always attentive to us, flexible with the schedules. We'll miss them; thank you very much for everything.
