The Experience
We have a very diverse kitchen program where we cook for each other on the team (sometimes as a group), process foods from OUR farm, redistribute excess food from our wider community......and even have food workshops and Community 'Feativals'! Experience in a large production kitchen is helpful - but not essential for someone who has a foodie passion and creativity. Also outdoor Cob Pizza Oven for sourdough pizzas and bread :)

I felt like home!! Practicing taking care of the people, the animals, the environment it was an amazing experience. I had an awesome experience, everyone makes me feel so grateful and the place had develop a real intentional community base on co-designing every day. I'm so sad it's already over, I wish I knew I was going to enjoyed so much so I could go there earlier and longer. This placehas a reserved special place in my heart.

You have touched OUR Ecovillage's hearts and land in a most incredible way Flor. You were home to us as well -- and you are as family! Everything you have brought to us has been with care and kindness....your respect and thoughtful ways have been so good for us all :)

I had a fantastic stay at OUR the eco village. Brandy, Trent, and their daughter Freya, passionate volunteers themselves, showed me how a project can thrive for decades through constant innovation. Their enthusiasm inspired me to embrace this lifestyle and learn a lot about sustainability. The community is incredible, the nature breathtaking and the animals adorable (I especially loved the dogs), and the beautifully crafted buildings add to the charm. The people here have big hearts and an even greater sense of community —you'll probably want to stay longer than planned, trust me ;) Thank you :)

We wish you so much luck with all you do in the world next and always -- and really hope you return to check in one day. You changed OUR world!!!

Wow Joaquin....you are very missed and really have left a big space here without your big heart and funny humour! I hope you find 'restorative justice' along your path - and that your path leads you back to OUR Ecovillage for a visit one day again to see what we have gotten up to!! Be well dear friend ~

It's been an amazing experience! Huge thanks to Brandy, Trent, and Freya for being fantastic hosts, and to my fellow volunteers for their support and enthusiasm. This place not only teaches valuable skills but also fosters adaptability, gratitude, and a deeper sense of appreciation. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone and immerse themselves in nature and sustainability.

My stay at the eco village. changed my whole perspective on living in community. I learnt so much, both about permaculture and myself. I felt so welcomed by everyone, especially Brandy and her family, and so held the entire time I was there. I met people who have had a genuinely life changing impact on me. I recommend for anyone who wants to experience a different way of living and learn how to be in relationship with others. It's an experience you won't regret. Thank you guys for everything!
