I liked the whole experience so much that that I decided to extend my stay. The owners are very nice, helpful and kind people. It's amazing to be part of this amazing project, that evolved over the past 5 years, from nothing to this little community with amazing people, surrounded by all the beautiful animals. I recommend everyone to do this experience.

I absolutely loved every second of my experience at the farm. The best people gather here. And the fact that you are surrounded by 500 animals every day is a dream for me. I helped the office team with content management and content overflow strategy, as well as some other office tasks. This place is best for people who like to take initiative and manage their work. It was hard to leave, I'll help out remotely with what I can and I hope to get a chance to come back soon❤️

My time at the farm has been one of the most unique and fundamentally fulfilling experiences in my life. While sometimes a bit chaotic, the cause that the owners have undertaken to help animals and what has been built from the ground-up since 2018 is something to be experienced to fully appreciate. The community of volunteers here from all over the world is like a second family, with everyone contributing unique skills and insights throughout the different teams. I would thoroughly recommend coming for at least two months as I have been here to fully emerse yourself.

This place is like a little family and they are transparent with their accommodation before you even arrive. It was not a stressful working environment especially with all the loving cats and dogs that come to you. Message me if you want more details!
