Description
The farm was established in 2020, still a work in progress. We are a farm-stay with 4 hectares of land area. You can experience the joy of living a slow life in the desa (village), being close to nature, just where we belong.
At the farm, you can relish the fresh air and the natural Indonesia-Esque scenery surrounding our place. You can choose either just to relax all day without any agenda, or you can keep yourself busy (go fishing in our fishing pond, trekking to nearby rivers, take a farm tour, etc).
You can also see how and why we are trying hard to adopt regenerative agriculture & permaculture principles on our farm. Note that we are still heavily figuring out how to do it correctly. We are learning by doing!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will learn about Indonesian and Western Javanese culture, especially Sundanese. We have 7 local staff that reside in our farm area. You can learn the Indonesian or Sundanese languages, and get to know what remote village looks like in Indonesia. You can also involve in the kitchen to cook Indonesian food if you're interested.
When we host guests, you are free to hang out with them (mostly Indonesian, especially from Jakarta) and join them on their daily tours.
We also hold regular events every 2 month (yoga, farming workshops, painting workshops) and you can participate in the events.
If you have any special skills, feel free to let us know, and let's see if we can collaborate further or create an event/workshop.

Easy to communicate with and do exactly what we asked for.
She followed all instructions well and even helped us in the kitchen.
We will miss her and hope she can come back again in the future.
Our doors are always open for her.
Even tho I was the first volunteer there I experienced a great hospitality.
The place is far from the big city Jakarta and getting there was quiet a challenge, because I came via public transport, but I managed it and for the last part someone from the farm picket me up. (If you come via public… read more
