This was my first time leaving my home country and not something I was quite used to. Saying that, its been a very educational and rewarding experience. Both Ray and Deb are some of the most amazing people ive met and are the cutest couple. They are incredibly non-judgemental and understanding. The work was exactly as advertised, you are literally gardening. Hours are definitely respected, 6 hours a day/5 days a week (roughly) but they dont police you by any means. I enjoyed my time so much that i extended my stay by 3 weeks and wouldve stayed longer if i couldve. Cute pets as well! Nice view.

Ray and Deb are truly wonderful hosts. Even though my English is not very good, they were always patient and kind, explaining things until I understood. Ray's vegetables were fresh every day, and Deb's meals were always delicious. Their dogs, Jazz and Mateo, and cats, Bobby and Tia, were so adorable and made me feel at home. The farm is surrounded by nature, which was very healing for me. Unfortunately, I had to return to Japan earlier than planned, but Deb and Noa quickly helped and drove me to the airport. I'm truly grateful and look forward to coming back again!

I want to share how amazing my volunteering experience was at the farm. Ray and Deb welcomed me warmly, and it was an incredible experience. Our conversations were enriching, and they made me feel comfortable right from the start. Deb is an amazing cook, and they even adapted to everyone's dietary needs. The respect for schedules and the interesting, yet physical work made the experience even better. I'm deeply grateful for their hospitality and wonderful personalities.

I had an amazing stay! The host was incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive to every detail. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described — even better in person. Communication was smooth and quick, and I truly felt at home during my visit. I'd absolutely recommend staying here and would love to come back in the future. Thank you for making my trip so memorable!
