Truly an incredible and unique experience at the farm. Big thank you to the host, Fernando, and all the wonderful fellow volunteers I met during my stay there :) While gardening, pruning trees, and harvesting organic fruits and vegetables, I was able to learn how to live more sustainably, hand in hand with nature. I loved volunteering in such a collaborative and welcoming space, taking in the great outdoors and an incredible nighttime sky. Favorite parts include raising baby chicks and using a woodcutter. I made a lot of mistakes, but I learned a lot too. Thank you!

It was a very positive and unique volunteering experience for me. I especially loved seeing the chicks in the incubator, which was something completely new to me and I found it amazing! I also had the opportunity to learn about pruning trees and take part in different outdoor tasks. Some of the work requires quite a lot of energy, but it is very rewarding. The host was friendly and welcoming, and shared his knowledge throughout my stay. I really enjoyed being in contact with nature, learning new things, and having the opportunity to try things I had never done before. Thank you

Volunteering at the farm was an amazing experience. Fernando was a great host, he taught us lots about syntropic agriculture. As well as this, we looked after chickens, built a kitchen for the common area and got the farm ready for an open day - which ment I now know how to use different tools. Everything outlined in the exchange was correct. Each day we take turns cooking, all of the other volunteers and Erasmus students were lovely and created a little family vide. Fernando does a big food shop once a week but anything that is low he can restock on. Would definitely recommend!
