Naila is a dedicated worker and we were blessed to have her help processing vegetables and medicinal herbs last fall! She is a slow but steady worker and pleasant individual you won't regret welcoming to your home. Even though she didn't have tons of experience in the garden and needed some direction to work more efficiently at times, she managed… read more

I stayed with Jalfred and Angelune for 3 weeks in September. During this time I mostly helped with harvesting and processing food from the garden since they were closing down for the season. The accommodation was rustic with no running water or electricity but was also very clean and comfortable. If you are going in September, a head lamp is a… read more

I stayed with Allan and Angela for one week. I contacted them at the last minute when my start date for another Workaway placement was delayed by a week. Since I was their first Workaway volunteer, I was prepared to be flexible while they figured out their hosting process. Overall things went smoothly and I really enjoyed my stay. Both Angela and… read more

I spent five weeks here and had a wonderful time at this magical place. The expectations were clearly laid out in a detailed guidelines document sent to me prior to my arrival so I knew what was expected of me. Dan and Merve were both very knowledgeable about permaculture and building community and I learned a lot from them during my stay which… read more

I was the first Workaway volunteer here and I felt like my contribution was deeply appreciated and this made it a rewarding experience for me. I learned a lot from Kim about growing and caring for the fruit trees, different local Malaysian foods and other aspects of Malaysian culture which made it a rich cultural exchange as well. I also got a… read more

Naila was a great help during her one week stay with us. We finished my targeted task, clearing the weeds, wraping the fruits, watering the plants and cleaning the farm house. We are very grateful for her help. Thank you!
