Mi voluntariado en la granja fue el primero, cumplió con todas mis expectativas y me enseñó mucho sobre la vida en el campo. El lugar es super tranquilo y lleno de paisajes por montón. Hice un poco de varias actividades, ya que trabaje con las aromáticas, con la huerta y el acompañamiento para alimentar y conocer sobre las abejas. Me llevo buenas experiencias y conocimiento sobre las tareas en campo. La finca queda a 25min en auto del pueblo pero siempre hice el recorrido caminando para aprovechar el paisaje. Los vecinos son muy amables y el perro que cuida la casa es muy cariñoso

Con mi esposa no sabíamos básicamente nada del campo o del agro, pero esta familia nos enseñó muchas cosas con toda la paciencia del mundo, las tareas no se sentían como trabajo y fue una experiencia demasiado enriquecedora, 100% recomendada, quedamos muy felices.

La experiencia es ideal para los que quieran alejarse de la ciudad y las grandes poblaciones, es un retiro para trabajar con la naturaleza en un ambiente típico del campo. Algunas de las tareas pueden ser exigentes física y mentalmente, así que hay que ir preparados para esforzarse

Así es, un tiempo para conectar con el sonido de lo rural, del campo con sus pájaros, el viento en los árboles y la vista con paisajes realmente profundos. Gracias por tu presencia y aporte. Buenos caminos para ti y paisajes a tu sentir.

Uff, no sé por dónde empezar, la experiencia fue demasiado única y definitivamente la repetiría, aprendí demasiado en cuanto a cultivos, el contacto con la naturaleza y, mi parte favorita, la apicultura; este fue mi primer voluntariado y que buen lugar para empezar, las personas que estuvieron a mi lado me enseñaron demasiado, Zalatiel, Don Juan, Erney, todos personas muy únicas con mucho conocimiento en lo que hacen y además con gusto de enseñar.El trabajo, no mentire, fue pesado al comienzo, pero es entender que es el diario vivir de muchas personas, muy recomendado.Dante(el perro)en mi <3.
