The Experience
Because the farm is also a conservation forest, i want to build the kitchen with local and native wood, ie cork or walnut. The main house is an old stone ruin and the kitchen is less than 15 SQM so is a minimalist project. The kitchen feeds the whole farm so is a very important part of the farm operation. I welcome any applications from skilled carpenters including those travelling as a couple who can support other farm workplans.

I only spent two weeks at the farm, but it was packed with unexpected experiences, ups and downs in terms of the weather. I hope i contributed enough for the better. I loved all the food Rachel cooked, she's an amazing chef! She was really making sure we feel comfortable and took care of our needs in all aspects. She communicated all tasks clearly to us in advance. This was my first ever worldpackers experience and I'm a 100% happy with it! Thank you!

This experience taught me alot about goats, myself and the world. We worked with meaningful tasks every weekday. I was fortunate to be part of the kidding season which was the most AMAZING thing. In appreciation for our work we were served exquisite food that was nutritious, fulfilling and sometimes we had dessert on top of that. I always felt respected, appreciated and above all safe. Rachel is very communicative and has a gift for problem solutions as well as a passion for her work. I met wonderful people here and will leave this second home with new perspectives and gratitude in my heart.

Rachel was a great host, she genuinely cared for me since the day I arrived. The food is amazing and the conversations are great. The farm is located in a beautiful mountain and the work feels lighter since it's divided between the morning and the afternoon. Herding the goats was super fun and I learned a lot about the environment. The dogs are adorable and I was there when the baby goats were born which felt like such a privilege to witness. I recommend this experience to anyone.

Marta ... you were a welcome addition to the farm and my first, official Worldpacker. You brought me great intention and effort. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the experience. Good luck and safe travels.
