The farm was incredible and I'm so sad I had to leave! Sheri, Peter and Lela are incredible hosts and treated me like I was a part of the family. I immediately felt comfortable with them. The property is gorgeous and I had so much fun working with the animals and learning how to care for them. They were great when it came to explaining what needed to get done, and listened to my preferences, letting me work outside and never putting pressure on me if I didn't feel like doing a task right at that moment. I will miss the sheep, Delilah and them like crazy! Thank you for everything!

Staying at the farm was my first volunteer experience. I could not find any better place for that. Accommodation was fantastic and homemade food even better. My hosts Sheri and Peter were amazing. They are very intelligent, fun and well organized people. I met some of Sheri's friends and family and they also were verry nice. During my stay I did completed many tasks, some were long and hard but most were enjoyable. There are bicycles I could use for my trips to beach and town. It is lovely place and people. Ps sorry for making George (sheep) fat LOL.

Hello Peter and Sheri, I want to thank you for this great experience I had with you, where volunteering felt like home, where I spent excellent movie nights, board games, family reunions, parties, and going to fantastic places, without a doubt I I felt very comfortable, I will miss the farm immensely, especially George, that I saw him grow, and feed the others, work was not an impediment for me, it is always fair, and about the food, it was always super incredible , the property is beautiful, and you are very kind people, thank you for so much, with love Gussi.
