One of the best experiences of our lives! 🩷 It was our first volunteering experience, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The community is incredibly kind and welcoming, and we felt part of it from day one. 🌱 Farm work was fun, varied and easy to learn, even with no previous experience. Communication was never a problem, as everyone in the volunteer area speaks English. The meals were delicious, and the place is surrounded by beautiful mountains and nature. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories. We highly recommend this experience! 💕

I highly recommend this experience! I had an excellent time during my volunteer stay. Everyone was extremely kind, welcoming, and friendly, and I had the opportunity to connect with nature and learn more about farming.

Lauviah was an excellent host, always very attentive and welcoming, and she made my wife and me feel very comfortable throughout the entire experience.

If you are looking for a welcoming and peaceful environment, with plenty of contact with nature and the opportunity to learn new things, I highly recommend this experience!

My experience at La Cite was amazing! I truly recommend it in case you want to get in touch with nature. Furthermore, if you want to learn about agriculture, connect with locals and generally have a good and meaningful time, this is the perfect place to do it!

People here are very welcoming, supportive and kind! I really enjoyed my stay in La cite. I will be back for sure! 👍🏻

I had a truly wonderful time at the eco village! The atmosphere is wonderful, and everyone welcomed me warmly into the community. I met so many different people, and the work was fun, too. The agricultureteam has a great work environment, and everyone was very friendly. You get used to the physical work quickly, and the sore muscles are totally worth it just to be outside all day. When I'm back in Quebec, I'll definitely stop by!
