Not only I learned about the depths of the wonderful permaculture farming, but also the very complex process behind to produce and make high quality coffee. In addition, I also learned more the fantastic Vietnamese people and gastronomy and I had a great and very unique opportunity to participate on the fameous Coffee Festival in Buon Ma Thout. I was also a team member on this great event and I was one of the baristas of the project. Mr. Dzung Nguyen and his family and everyone at the project team were very kind, friendly with me. They took care of me and accomadate me. Thank you!

The project was a good experience. You will learn things about the coffee process. Alex it's very easy going and he will explain to you anything you want to know about the process. The tasks and work hours where simple and fair. The food was tasty and if you like the peace and calm life of the country side this is your place.

It was a very nice experience at the project! It was super interesting to see all different parts of the process, like drying, sorting, roasting etc. Dzung is a lovely host and extremely happy to share his amazing coffee knowledge :) We mainly helped with raking and sorting beans. The work is monotonous, but easy. If you can zone into it, it's a pretty zen activity. We eat vegetarian so mostly cooked for ourselves. Dzung was very happy to buy whatever we needed, so we had lots of tofu and veggies available. We had a great time, and would recommend helping out at the project! Thanks Dzung and team ✨

If you want to learn everything about coffee, this is definitely the place to be. Dzung is a true expert and passionate about all things coffee. On top of that, he's an amazing person kind, flexible, and approachable. His wonderful family is another reason to make this experience unforgettable, you absolutely have to meet them!

Adored my time at the project! So fascinating learning all about the coffee growing process and even got to try some delicious coffee in the mornings. Definitely a more rural volunteer job as there isn't any towns etc close by so most of the time is spent on the farm itself. Also I miss the dogs so much (especially my bestie Puppy). Definitely recommend ☺️
