The community is a refuge where you not only learn about the daily facets of farm work (which is really cool and rewarding), but can also slow down, be creative, and meet incredible souls from different places. I left the farm both ready to attempt gardening back home haha, and inspired by what we can accomplish when we all truly work together. Masha, the farm manager, and the other long-terms are a huge reason for that. I highly recommend this experience!

The community is a nice place to be in the nature and live in a community. You can have a balance here between spending time by yourself and with others. The people are very nice, the long term volunteers are open to the new people as well. The work and other tasks are well organised, you know what to expect. The work is not hard and we always worked together with others and a lot of time with some music. I loved that you can be surrounded by animals, the cats are also good company and very cudly. Recommend!

I had a great time learning about farm life at the community. I met people i laughed a lot with and with whom i felt i could totally be myself. There is a nice balance between doing stuff by yourself and organizing things together like playing card games, movienight, BBQ and going to the lake. I personally really loved doing the dog walks at golden hour amazed by the beauty of the surroundings!

Volunteering in the community for the month of January was a fun, learning, and fullfilling experience. 😊 There's a great group of people living here that support eachother, work well together and have lots of laughs. 💚 I had the opportunity to learn plenty about myself, about community life and about sustainability. 💛 The work was dynamic, varied and very meaningfull. Taking care of the garden, the animals, doing construction work or cooking meals brought tons of satisfaction to me. ❤️ I wish I could extend my time here, and feel very lucky to have known this place. I'll be back for sure! 🙏
