The Experience

Our small eco farm houses social rescue animals in the way of donkeys, pigs, goats and chickens as well as multiple permaculture gardens for crops. The animal work includes feeding, providing clean water, grooming, mucking stalls and taking them out for some exercise. Plus cuddling! For the gardens, we are amending soil, planting, weeding, maintaining and harvesting vegetables.

I had a wonderful time on the farm and enjoyed the work (taking care of the animals, witnessing baby goat being born, learning how to milk/nurse goats, fixing stuff,...) and free time (learning to make byrek, days off exploring the area). Shawn & Kyle are fantastic hosts that made me feel at home right away. The food provided was great (especially the veggies fresh from the farm gardens), the bunk room and kitchen are basic, but what more do you need? Shawn & Kyle, thanks for your trust and kindness and letting me be part of this! I hope to be back someday :)

Shawn and Kyle run a beautiful farm with the cutest animals. If you're looking to work while being immersed in nature, this is the perfect place. All they ask for is responsibility and commitment to the tasks. I'm beyond grateful for this experience 💗

Since the moment I applied to the project I knew it! I just knew it was going to be a very unique experience. Coming here was probably one of the best choices I've made in a very long time. Shawn and Kyle, you guys work really hard to run the farm and I appreciate it. Thanks for providing an environment where we can develop skills and work on ourselves :) Faleminderit shumë

Its a nice experience if you want to have contact with animals, the goats, donkeys and pigs are very friendly. If you like to live in a clean and organized place, you may not feel good at the project. You will surely have to buy food for yourself, because sometimes the food may be expired; during my stay at the farm, 5 volunteers got sick to their stomach, you may have to be careful with the tap water as well. The hosts asked another volunteer and me to leave early because they needed the space. Thank you hosts for the time you allowed me to be on your property and cooperate with your project.

Let's start with Kyle and Shawn are lovely people but unfortunately there farm is in the beginning stages, I understand there is a-lot of work to do and it's not easy but unfortunately my experience was not the best I do take in to consideration that I came at a very hard time of year but I would say some things were lacking like food ( they did supply but it was very bare minimum) if you cannot not handle chaos and unordered days this place is not for you but if you're looking to challenge yourself this is a great opportunity to contribute to there dream of sustainability just be prepared :)
