Amazing people, softly spoken, kind, and so knowledgeable. They taught me so much about small-scale farming and the project development. Perfect place to practice Chinese, but don't worry too much if you can't. Hosts adapted so kindly to our needs, and communicated well, even gave us lifts to the station with our heavy bags, and the food is delicious, traditional Taiwanese home-cooked meals - that you harvest! I would also recommend this opportunity to refocus, release stress, and reconnect with nature. Yes the work is physical, but just stay positive and push through, it is rewarding

Awesome and memorable experience, I 100% recommend it. As it says in the description, the farm work is physically demanding, especially if it's getting hot and humid, however facing the challenge is absolutely worth it. Not only will you expand your knowledge and skills in farming, but you will have fun doing so as the folks from the farm are really friendly and will make sure you know what you're doing. Also, the food is awesome and always with fresh ingredients. So I'm telling you, if you're fit and can handle some heat, go for it!

My experience at the project was super educational and eye opening. Seeing and participating in a the project village developing and working in real time is definitely inspiring! I learnt many new skills and got to chat to the locals in my spare time. The work shifts are pretty full on- there are new tasks to be done everyday many of which involve a few fours of continuous manual work. But the team members are welcoming and understanding and make sure you are comfortable. I look forward to returning and seeing how Da Wangs community has developed!
