A great first volunteering experience for me and my friend. Work varied between physical activities like cleaning up a forest, to gardening work. It was rewarding helping to get the farm ready for visitors in the spring. We also got creative projects including painting and making a video about our experience on the farm. You need to be a proactive person because you get a lot of freedom and spare time to do your own thing, and there's always more to do on the farm if you offer (I now wish we'd offered to do more!), otherwise definitely bring a book. Barbara and Agus are friendly and helpful :)

Dos vasos llenos de leche gracias!! Can't recommend this experience enough, I had an incredibly wholesome time at El Trasgula with Barbara, Agus and their many loveable furry/non furry friends. We instantly became part of their daily life on the farm, learning lots and always having a great time. Wish it was longer ⭐️

Barbara and Agos are lovely people, always willing to share knowledge about the land, their animals and their Cider. Tasks are varied so you aren't stuck doing the same thing every day and the work is physical but satisfying. Some days it feels like you have the farm to yourself so if you don't mind having some time to yourself I would 100% recommend volunteering at the farm!

I had a wonderful experience at the farm. Everyone was very welcoming and generous. Work on the farm was very reasonable and the view was gorgeous. Plus the lunches were delicious. Barbara and Agus were very patient with us and we learned a lot throughout are stay. It was all I could've asked for. Huzzah👐

Barbara, Agus and Violeta were very friendly and welcoming and they made me feel at home on the farm. The location is beautiful and especially suited to someone who wants to get in touch with nature. I speak very little Spanish which did make communication a challenge as not many people speak English in the area. However, Barbara speaks very good English and Agus is learning. Violeta is a great cook and the food was excellent, they are always very generous.
