The Experience

We are a couple (Damian & Paula) living in a organic farm in Lobos, (100km from Buenos Aires city ). We wish to be homesteaders so we are working very hard on it. we need help with our daily activities including taking care of our animals and our little orchard. Feeding the chickens & pigs, moving the cows & sheep, cooking products for sale, taking care of the veggie garden... We are just starting so there's a lot of work and a lot to learn!!

Our stay at the farm was our first volunteer experience and we absolutely loved it! We learned a lot about regenerative farming, caring for pigs, chickens, and sheep, as well as, a bit of gardening. We particularly enjoyed sharing this experience with other volunteers and Damian and Paula. It felt like home shortly after arriving with big family meals throughout our stay. We highly recommend volunteering at the farm! Muchas gracias Damián y Paula por una increíble estadía!

Devin es un gran compañero para tener en la granja! Puede ayudar con lo que se te ocurra y siempre con muy buena voluntad y ganas de aprender. También de compartir conocimientos y experiencias de viaje. Su español es perfecto y nos entendimos muy bien! Son una hermosa pareja con Jaqui y siempre están con ganas de sacar una linda charla o conversación para hacer de los días de trabajo una experiencia más llevadera. Nos ayudaron con todos los animales de la granja, con las huertas, a realizar podas de árboles, en fin...un montón de cosas de campo y en todas sin problema! asi que si te escriben para ir a tu espacio no dudes que van a cuidarlo muy pero muy bien.

Our stay at Damian and Paula's was undescriptible: a cocoon of real frienship that makes the work with them so interesting and pleasant. Projects are numerous and they give us the possibility to achieve them with always a thanksfull attitude. They are really hoping we learn with them, asking what kind of knowledge we would like to share. They are also very open minded to discuss and to discover other knowledges. Their generosity and sense of welcoming are tremendous. See you the very next time, we love you

Fue una gran experiencia, Damián y Paula me recibieron muy bien... Me sentí como parte de la familia, hay un brasilero que está haciendo voluntariado allí, se llama Brandon, me ayudó mucho con mi español, todo fue perfecto , la comida, el clima (muy frío) las tareas... Volveré más a menudo 🫶🏽

Foi meu primeiro voluntariado e uma experiência única na minha vida. Aprendi muito sobre a natureza e como cuidar dos animais. Paula e Dami são pessoas ótimas, sempre prontos pra ajudar os voluntários quando alguém não estava bem. Me conectei com os outros voluntarios e os demais que também moram na fazenda. Foi um período muito divertido com eles, porém o acordo de dias de descanso e as horas trabalhadas poderiam ser melhor combinadas, de acordo com a plataforma. No mais, eu recomendo muito essa experiência.

Jaqui y Devin se quedaron unas semanas en nuestra granja y dejaron un sello. -jaqui: Su amabilidad y apertura es increíble! Tiene en claro lo que quiere y si aplica a tu espacio es porque va a dejar lo mejor que tiene para ofrecer...y eso que tiene mucho para ofrecer! Le agradezco muchisimo haber venido a la granja a voluntariar y a ayudarnos en todos los proyectos en los que le pedimos ayuda! Ha salido de su zona de confort y pudo manejarse muy pero muy bien con la vida que llevamos en la granja. Suerte en su viaje y espero que esta experiencia les haya servido mucho!
