Reviews
"This farm offers a great opportunity to everyone who is interested in Organic Agriculture, Ecotourism and Permaculture! Within the 4 weeks volunteer program you will not only get a deep insight into organic farm work and sustainability, but also work on individual projects depending on your strengths and preferences. Dario and Nicola work hard and in an impressive way for the change they want to see in this world and are doing a fantastic job! I would highly recommend this organisation and the experience at the wonderful farming family!"- Christina Engl
