I had a wonderful stay at the farm! It is a really peaceful place where I learned so much about Thai culture, permaculture, and how to make a positive impact on the environment. The host is a very kind and patient person. Thank you so much for everything!

My experience at the project was unique and incredible. I'm not vegan but I was open to trying, and I was surprised to have all the energy I needed, full at every meal with fresh the project cooked with love. We worked mornings only, with breaks whenever needed. The afternoons were peaceful and free. Angel is a lovely, mindful person who cares deeply about her volunteers. Everything in the project was built naturally and simply. Even when we struggled with English, we always ended up with a smile. Thank you Angel 💚💚🙏🙏🙏

I spent a week at the project. The farm is completely isolated in the heart of Isan. The tasks we're given aren't very complicated. We work for two to three hours in the morning and then have the whole afternoon free because the heat is just too intense. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area, but the project and the farm are perfect for relaxing in peace and quiet. Angel is passionate about her work and loves sharing her knowledge and skills. It's true that she can sometimes be impatient, but she always manages to cheer us up in the end!

The farm is amazing and the tasks on paper are good, but a lot of things are not right. Angel, the host kicked a puppy really hard. She is an amazing cook. The process of cooking together gets stressful because the organization is really bad. She's very impatient and rude with volunteers. We always felt like we were walking on eggshells. I am a very positive person. This time, working with Angel was difficult and not nice. I understand she's overwhelmed. I recommend that she takes less volunteers and organize the farm/tasks better. Maybe someone else could have a good experience.
