Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have been participating in summer programmes designed to improve this vegetable farm. During the last years we focused to improve more for the facilities of locals/ volunteers and less on farming methods and ways. So when we look back in this moment our way to do farming and cultivating is not really productive and eco-friendly. Other farmers who are doing the same work around us feel the same. Local people work very hard during the whole summer but in the autumn they get very small harvests compared to their hard work.
So since this year we are going to develop our farm more as a training centre of eco-farming for the local people. Local people will learn in our centre basic but very important ecological farming methods and know/how. We wish to achieve to get the biggest amount of harvest, using the smallest amount of land.
Volunteers will work in the eco-vegetable farm and develop an eco-farming training centre. Vegetables from the eco-farm will be donated to the low income local families.

« The outside world did not interfere, because it seemed so distant, and so we spent our spare time getting to know each other and learning about each other countries', languages and cultures. Everyone was completely relaxed. This simply would not have been possible on any other type of holiday. VAP enabled me to have a truly memorable experience. »
