This is an incredible project and a great opportunity to learn about farming and permaculture practices Sarah is passionate, dedicated and has some unique rules but allows the volunteers to be independant while incorperating their skills and ideas. The animals are great, the local employees are amazing and all the other travellers I volunteered with were incredible. If you have the option this experience is a must!

Thank God, it was another wonderful experience for us. The only thing I regret is that, because we don't speak English and speak little Spanish, this greatly reduces our interaction between all the other volunteers and hosts. Even so, everyone tried to talk to us and always paid attention to us. Sarah is a person of faith and God-fearing and we had several opportunities to pray together, becoming a wonderful bond. Sarah, I appreciate your kindness, generosity, and awareness. Big hug to dear Nelida, Pascoala, Rosa and Mr Francisco. The kittens and dogs in the house are blessings

Thank God we found a person of faith, with a beautiful relationship with God, so coexistence is pleasant and prosperous, because, where there are people talking with and about God, there is Peace and harmony. Sarah is very generous, conscientious and makes everyone feel comfortable and good. She knows how to recognize and praise our actions. I recommend it for several experiences. We also leave a lot of affection to her assistants Nelida, Pascoala, Rosa and Sr. Francisco, they are excellent people. Thank you all so much for everything and we will continue to pray for Sarah, her home and h

My experience was very rewarding, Sarah is a kind, generous person. The farm is very cozy, with abundant nature and the team of workers are always open to teach volunteers how to do the tasks properly. I have a special affection for Nelli and Pascuala, it was wonderful to meet them. Another positive point is food, the farm offers a variety of delicious foods, and Sarah always shares her amazing recipes with the team. It's a truly gastronomic experience. We will miss you all! Including the house pets, the project Obi, Siete, and all the kittens.

Sara is a great human being with a deep soul. She is building a great place for people to be, learn and contribute in the best of there ability. As any human being she can't do it alone, and need some help and assistance.
