The stay at Sofia, Alex and Carlita's house was a really nice exprience. I learnt something about permaculture and had the opportunity to be in a wonderful place in the middle of nature. The food was really good and Sofia brought us to visit the little pueblo of the project and we had fun spending time together:) I can only reccomed the experience!

My weeks with Sofia and the family were informative. Unlike I was expecting, I helped mostly with the florist business, spending some days in Mexico City preparing wedding flowers. The family was very welcoming and we balanced the initial long days for the weddings with less work the following week. Depending on what you organise and time of volunteer you might also just stay help at the farm. The place is pretty, there is variety of work with animals, cultivation and lots of ideas. I slept in my own tent but was provided a lot of blankets etc. Great to learn about the Mexican work ethic too!

We appreciate the time that Olga spent helping out she went along well with what we had to do at the time and needed help with. She was easy going to get along with and we would recomend her to others and hope she would visit again at a better time when we are not so busy with weddings and get to spend more time at the farm.

Para haber sido mi primer voluntariado, me sentí completamente inmersa, bienvenida y acogida por la familia. Un viaje de exploración interior, una oportunidad de encontrarse con uno mismo, haciendo las tareas acordadas. Un espacio libre e independiente. Se come delicioso, y las dinámicas se sienten como ser parte de la familia. La granja es un sitio hermoso, lleno de naturaleza, construido con compromiso y disciplina por parte de Sofi, Alex y Carla. Muchas gracias por recibirme, siempre volvería, por los grandes aprendizajes y experiencias! Me los llevo en el corazón 🥰

Hay dos palabras que describen a los anfitriones: Absoluta generosidad. Toda la familia da lo mejor de sí para que la experiencia sea enriquecedora. Sofi es una guía que siempre está al pendiente de que aprendas y nada te falte, Karlita es sumamente inteligente y prepara platillos deliciosos y Alex es un constructor y granjero estratégico e incansable Es asombroso cómo han desarrollado esta hermosa y productiva granja desde cero, y, sobre todo, cómo están totalmente abiertos a compartir esa experiencia y ser mentores. Aprendí mucho y me quedo con su gran cariño. ¡Espero volver muy pronto!

La experiencia ha sido maravillosa, tanto así que prolongue mi estadía. Yo recomiendo este voluntariado a personas que en verdad quieran aprender de manera teórica y práctica sobre permacultura, ya que sí hay muchas cosas que hacer en el rancho, como el cuidado a los animales, los rosales, el campo de fresas, el huerto, etc etc. Los host se preocupan por tu comodidad, y bienestar. La comida es deliciosa, saludable y llenadora. El amanecer y el atardecer son muy bellos, y en muchas ocasiones me ha tocado ver la luna llena tan brillante que puedes caminar sin necesidad de lámpara. 🫶🏼✨
