Linda and I had a really wonderful time. It was so nice to be with the family and to truly get to know them. The food was amazing and always freshly cooked for us. The accommodation was also beautiful and very comfortable – we had a lovely room, an especially nice bathroom, and a very cozy bed. Since it was off-season and there wasn't much work to do, we only had to work a few hours a day. Everyone was very kind, we felt very welcome, and the whole place felt like a little oasis for us.

We had a great and enriching time at the farm ! It was fulfilling work and different almost every 2 days. We learned a lot about the farm and locale culture. We feel grateful to have been part of the project and loved were we stayed. The family is great! If you want to connect with nature and have local/home dishes to try this is the perfect place

Ines and Georgia stayed with us for almost 2 weeks. We loved every moment of it, they became a local celebrities by introducing tractor safaris in the village. They were very hardworking and integrated into the life in the farm and making most out of it. Please do visit us again and keep in touch. Suresh

Please find my full 5 star review with pictures and videos on Google maps. This one's for you volunteers. Tip #1 - make sure you screenshot the location when in Puttalam for the Tuk Tuk driver because your eSIM will lose connection. Tip #2 - this was my favourite room so far! The window to the trees is the size of the entire wall (imagine waking up and sleeping to that), you have a whole veranda to yourself (great for meditating and yoga) and your own private open air bathroom (!!!). Just make sure the door is always closed. It's open air and you're in a Sri Lankan farm. Life was goooood !

Jann stayed with for about 5 days. He was hardworking (in hard condition, i.e. in the heat and in high humidity), he became part of the team, helped our day to day activities in the farm including weeding, with our milk cows.
We would recommend him highly give 5 stars and good luck with the travels.

I want to thank the farm family from my heart for the wonderful hospitality. In this week together, I found everything makes me feel happy: a sense of family, deep contact with nature, really tasty food, fun and laughs, peace and harmony, and much more!
I won't forget your beautiful smiles, the infinite stars view on the roof, the wonder of contemplating dawns and light bugs from my bed.
Here, I remembered about everything is important and valuable for me and I want to bring in my life. Thank you again. With love, Samuele

I have learned a lot from this land! Not only the farm skill but also the culture and Sinhala. Work schedule is decent with 3 delicious meals per day and a couples of tea time. The family always included me on all activities and keep me occupied...super caring spirit. The stay was very comfortable and the people made this place like home.

If you're looking for complete solitude and a slow, peaceful routine surrounded by nature, this is the place for you.
I tried farm tasks for the first time, like milking cows, picking fruit, and making pots from coconuts. The team there are very kind and helpful, but you have to remember that you're in a simple village and the electricity goes out and comes back on, so enjoy it
