This was my first experience and I loved it! I could write for hours but will keep it short :) my 2 favorite parts: Laura and the other volunteers - my new lifelong friends! Laura is the perfect person for this job - she's a great listener and made sure we were happy and safe. hours are fair - exactly 25h/week, never less and never more. the job is pretty much whatever they need around the farm and it's worth it for what we get. food is amazing. I wasn't used to farm life - like roosters and cockroaches - or tents but by week 2 I was totally fine. just make sure you're okay w/ that! obrigada!

I had the best experience at the farm. During my stay, I've met many lifelong friends. The work hours allow you to have plenty of time exploring the island and seeing all it has to offer. I enjoyed the tent and the food available allows you to make so many great dishes! Laura is the best and really makes you feel like family, love this place! :)

The project with the farm was my first experience with World Packers, and I couldn't be happier about it. The place is magical (you are in a country area, with its pros and cons) and having the opportunity to live in the farm for the work done at the farm is absolutely worth it. The colleagues and friends I met were definitely a major factor in the success of this experience. Laura is an incredible manager, always ready to help you. I also had the opportunity to engage with Michelle (mainly) and Marcos who were super hospitable, which is why working for them was a real pleasure for me.

I had a great time at the farm, the place is nice, the food is great, and the working hours are respected. People at the farm are super nice, friendly and respectful. It's a very good way to learn a few things, make friends and enjoy the island. Thank you for everything, see you around the world!!
