The Experience

We are looking for motivated volunteers who have knowledge and experience with developing, upgrading and taking care of the garden. We are looking for someone who wants to put his heart in the garden field and help us create a wonderful flourishing garden. We provide a bed in the dormitory and nice vegetarian food (that we hope can be based on vegetables from our garden).

At the eco village I felt at home, Yariv, Brenda and Liam are lovely people and they made me feel welcomed. Yariv and his family are very committed to making you have the best experience possible, always asking if everything was ok or if there was something needed. They live in a beautiful place with a lot of animals, big lands and a pool, the perfect place if you are searching for a relaxing time and immerse yourself in your thoughts. I spent 3 weeks there in the summer season helping them with what were needed: cleaning the pool, pruning the trees, gardening and helping with the animals.

The eco village is a place to disconnect from the outside world and connect with the Nature. The place that Yariv, Brenda and Liam had build here is beautiful. They are very open, flexible and kind, always asking if everything is fine or what do we need. The food is amazing and they are always trying to make You feel comfortable with the tasks. I had a really good time there ✨

I feel very grateful to have met Yariv and Brenda and to be able to be part of their project. I feel that the eco village is a place where I will always be welcome. The land allowed me to connect deeply with nature. Yariv taught me what it is like to live in the countryside, to be self-sufficient, generous, sensitive and respectful of animals and the environment. Also I met other volunteers, Kona and Tere, with whom I worked as a team and exchanged cultures. I recommend living something like this to open your mind and your heart and above all to transfer this mindset wherever you go.

Very good experience, the hosts, Yariv and Brenda, were very good to me, very good people, pleasant and always appreciative of our daily work. Our place to sleep was super good and the food even better. The schedule we had established for work hours was always met and we could occupy the facilities during free hours. We never lacked anything to eat and we could also manage a trip to the supermarket. The place is a paradise, 100% recommended for future volunteers.

My experience at the eco village was amazing! Yariv and Brenda are super kind and loving people, always with a good energy and sense of humor. They were always flexible with the tasks and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is so beautiful and peaceful. The work sometimes can be hard considering you will spend four and a half hours working in the morning and it can be too hot or tiring If you are not used to it. If you are willing to learn new things it will be totally worth it. I absolutely recomend the eco village if you want to conect with nature and yourself ❤️
