I have mixed feelings, the place is very nice, but there is a lack of coordination, communication and teamwork. My first day I felt like I wasn't welcome, Iris just said hello, follow me,she showed me where I had to drink water, the bathroom and my room (room for myself, it was good and cozy). My first impression was quite unpleasant, there was no empathy from her (I have been so many volunteering and usually they go to pick me up and drop me off, they ask you basic things like, how was your trip, how are you? Can I help you with your luggage, do you need anything, not was my case

We were saddened to hear about Valentina's post-stay concerns, and we regret that she didn't share them during her time with us. Initially, she excelled as a housekeeper, but her performance declined due to a new personal relationship, leading to lapses in responsibilities. Despite invitations to engage in activities, she consistently declined. Operating with a minimal staff, our ability to provide certain amenities, like airport pickups, is constrained. We wish Valentina had communicated her feelings so we could have promptly addressed them. Your feedback is invaluable, and we're actively working to enhance communication and address volunteer challenges. Thank you for your understanding.

For a 1st experience with worldpackers, this was just amazing. What a nice and welcoming couple. I had an awesome experience in this lovely place. I felt like at home. I could have literally lived there. Kuma is very cute too. I went there with no expectations and I came out with many ideas and inspired by all of the things that I saw and experienced during my stay especially regarding the sustainability of our environment but also regarding myself. I had a lot of time to be by myself. Thank you so much for the good vibes, the work outs and all the laughs too. I will miss you for sure.

I loved my stayed here, if you want to connect with nature and ground yourself, come here!I had a lot of time to explore and learn a lot about myself.This is a very independent volunteer. If you are looking for a place to meet a lot of people and have a lot of communal experience, this is not it.You are responsible to find a ride to the farm once you get here. I highly recommend to arrive the earliest you can. This farm is very isolated, so you can either rent a car or take the bus (is free). I didn't rent a car, and it was a great experience to meet locals.I miss kuma🥺🐶

Hey Lorna!
I'm so glad to hear you loved your stay at the farm! Connecting with nature and finding that grounding experience is what it's all about. It warms my heart that you had the time to explore and discover more about yourself in the process – that's the magic of this place.
It's more of an independent volunteer vibe here. It's perfect for those looking to have a more personal journey. And kudos to you for embracing the opportunity to meet locals by not renting a car. Those spontaneous connections often turn out to be the best!
I understand about missing Kuma – pets have a way of leaving paw prints on our hearts. 🐶
Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience, Lorna. You're always welcome back whenever you need another dose of nature and self-discovery!
Take care,

A wonderful experience to be at one with nature and to be introduced to a farm stay. If you're interested in diving into a jungle/farm life this is ideal. Both Iris and Zach are great for sharing their life experiences and their culture, they have a wealth of knowledge on health and well-being. The morning workouts led by Zach were awesome and motivating. Lots of amazing fruit growing on the farm and of course the animals, Frankie the farm pig has stolen my heart.

Hey Siobhan!
We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing time at the farm! It's fantastic that you got to experience the beauty of nature and dive into the jungle/farm life – that's what we're all about.
Iris and Zach are here. We're so glad you enjoyed our stories and cultural insights. Sharing those experiences is a highlight for us, and it's fantastic to know that it added to your time here. And yes, Zach's morning workouts – we're pumped that you found them excellent and motivating!
Frankie is stealing hearts, as usual! Animals have a magical way of doing that, don't they? We'll be sure to pass on your extra love to Frankie.
Your private comment made our day! Thanks for the good vibes and well wishes for the veggie patch and fruit abundance. You're always welcome here; the farm doors are wide open for your return.
Sending you heaps of love and gratitude,
Iris and Zach 🌿🐷🍎
