Consider yourself lucky if you ever find yourself at this farm. There's something very meditative about the place and the process. If you're in the peak season, you will learn quite a lot about the cacao to chocolate process. When you're not working, you will find conversations and warmth from Mayoor , the host , Mukunth, the volunteer co-ordinator, the lovely ladies who work there, the friendly pets and the other volunteers. Your concerns and suggestions about the tasks are taken into consideration by Mukunth and accommodated where possible. I found my home away from home here :)

I really happy with Mukunath and Mayoor was very helpful and explaining the whole process. I spend time with My favorite pets Robin and Munshi also a cow and Calf. I also meet there Eyal, Paule, Gigi, Dimitri & Melica. It was really a nice experience with all the Volutneers In Gazibo. This season is little more hot and humid so facing little difficulty due to warm weather. But overall experience was Amazing

What a great experience being on the farm! While my trip was cut shorter than expected, Mayoor was very accommodating, willing to teach, freely shared about his life and work experiences, and and brought a unique insight of daily life of southern India. Learning about how chocolate is made, getting our hands dirty, seeing it all happen before our eyes was a real treat. It can be hard and tedious at times, but I gained a deeper appreciation of this magical substance. The other volunteers were great, had fun trips into town for ice cream and other local favorites.
