My stay was such a positive and wonderful experience, that I can recommend to anyone who is interested in permaculture, nature, sustainability and animals. Letizia, Yannick and Noa are lovely and warmhearted people, who give their best to make you feel at home, are interested in forming genuine connections with you and always have funny stories to tell. Besides from being in the garden, where we for example collected branches and greens or weeded lines, I also got the chance to help Letizia train the horses, which was amazing. Thank you for this wonderful time; 1 month passed by too fast

I am so grateful for this experience. From the very first moment you feel so welcome and included in the family. You will hear lots of exciting stories during the meals together and there is plenty to laugh about. The food is incredibily tasty and healthy. The work varies and is always doable and fun. The animals are all super lovely and I recommend it if you want to spend time in nature. I learned a lot about farm work. They have a very respectful approach to their animals and nature and you learn about a sustainable way of living. Thank you so much for everything!!

Laetitia, Yannik and Noa are a great family with a respectful and patient approach to permaculture and farming. They are very open and welcoming, and have been very generous with their time and knowledge. I came to this experience to take a break from the city and connect with nature, but I left with so much more! The work was fun and fulfilling. It could become physically challenging at times, but nothing that a good night sleep can not fix. A special mention to the food: so delicious and nutritious. This was my first WP experience, and I'm really thankful that it was at the farm.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I couldn't ask for a better one. I had a great time in the farm, host are very welcoming and friendly, they will include you in trips to the city or nearby places. Food is amazing and you will learn lots of things about gardening and sustainable ways of living. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Work is physical but very approachable by everyone and the tasks vary every day so you don't get bored, also the working times are respected every time. In conclusion I will recommend this experience and enjoy your time in this farm.

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing. The hosts are incrediblely welcoming. I felt at home right away. I got to spend time with plenty of animals and got to learn a lot about farming. Also learned how to live in a sustainable way. Got to meet other volunteers who were very nice. Laetitia and Yannick are incredible people and I would recommend this farm to everyone. The only thing I would mention is that the farm is a bit isolated. However, the hosts will take you on some tours on the weekends to visit nearby cities and/or parks.

This was my first world packers experience and it was lovely. Some of the work is quite physical but there is a lot of different jobs to do to change it up after hard work. The people are lovely and we had many nice meals and good laughs together. Be aware that you are in a very small town, if you want to go to the next bigger city you would need to get a ride from the hosts. Overall definitly recommend, thank you for everything! :)

This was one of the best months i have ever had! The work is physical but definitely doable as they make sure that there is enough variety. I arrived with almost no knowledge of gardening, animal care etc but they were very patient with me and they explained everything from the beginning till the end. I learned so much during my stay, about way more than only farming as they are very interesting people. They are a very genuine, accepting and funny family. We were laughing all day long and i felt really welcome from the first day. I would recommend this host to everybody who gets the chance!!

La experiencia fue realmente increíble, conocimos personas hermosas, trabajamos mucho pero nos divertimos tanto que casi no se sintió como si fuera trabajo. La mayor parte del tiempo la pasamos con Yanique, quien es una persona increíble, al igual que su familia. Siempre estuvieron predispuestos a llevarnos a lugares cercanos para conocer y también son flexibles si uno quiere intercambiar los días de trabajo. Estamos más que agradecidos por la oportunidad de haber conocido y trabajado en la Quinta.

Achei umas quinta fantástica e um excelente trabalho da parte dos anfitriões. fiz exatamente o esperado, fiz o que gosto, e tentei ao máximo estender-me para fazer mais e aprender mais. Passei a maioria dos tempo com o Yannick (que é um ser humano INCRÍVEL, fantástico). Todos os fins de semana havia bom descanso e alguém amigo para socializar por parte dos anfitriões, e/ou visitar algum lugar. Foram fantásticos. Mas infelizmente não senti um maior respeito da parte da Letecia, senti simpatia esforçada (dito por ela:"bom sentido de humor") mas fui algumas vezes, motivo de gozo (minhas palavras)

Olá Pedro! Obrigada pelo teu comentário. Lamento que te sentavas assim. Aqui nos tentamos sempre de acolher os nossos voluntários da melhor maneira que podemos, mas é claro que dependamente da cultura ou experiência de vida de cada pessoa, alguns mal-entendidos podem ficar, embora este tipo de situação nunca aconteceu antes porque para nós, é mais fácil de falar e esclarecer as coisas para tirar dúvidas ou frustração. Mas se a pessoa não quer comunicar connosco, não é fácil também...
De qualquer maneira, te desejamos uma boa viagem, boa sorte, e força!

Fui recebido pelo Yanik que sempre foi muito gentil e prestativo, aprendi novas tarefas e sobre a fazenda em geral. Também pude me conhecer e interagir com pessoas de outros países. No final teve uma divergência de informações pois eu precisava cancelar a estádia por conta de uma proposta de trabalho e em um certo momento foi entendido que eu iria para outro voluntariado, que não era o caso, mas tirando isso foi uma experiência boa.
