The work has been exhausting but rewarding and I feel like I've learned a lot, from how to dig and line a perfect pond, to the sound of a chough and the price of an Asturian cow. I’ve also learned that I will have to work a lot on my arm and back muscles if i’m ever going to reach Luke Massey levels of speed and efficiency! Can’t wait to visit again! -Jolyon, Rewilding student at Embercombe

We have learned so much about regenerative farming, wildlife behaviour, the natural rhythms of finca life, and also about co-living and sharing space and resources with others. We walk away super fulfilled and grateful for our time here at Wild Finca. Thank you all again for providing such a beautiful opportunity to be present in nature and surrounded by so many of the simple pleasures that we love - Nicole & Gijs

Thank you so much for welcoming me to your beautiful finca and including me in your lovely family for this past week. I will think fondly of the multiple lucky chicken-of-the-woods spottings, followed by delicious meals including them in creative ways!…Most of all, I genuinely leave this week feeling inspired. Wild Finca is a magical place and I am in awe of what you’ve been able to create here in just a few years. I hope to bring even an ounce of that with me to include rewilding in my future in some way, shape or form - Vivien, USA

Somewhere between detesting stinging nettles after tearing them out of the vegetable patch for hours, and then loving them, learning that they prevent arthritis and make a cake more fun. Between Luke teaching us about the Red-backed Shrike and Roan telling us about dinosaurs. Between learning about sourdough, and every kind of fermented substance thanks to Katie, and acquiring the best techniques regarding hole-digging from the pondmaster Luke. Somewhere between falling asleep to frog croaking every night and waking up to bird chirping every morning, the time has flown by. Luke and Katie we cannot put into words how grateful we are - Sophia & Nils, Germany

Third time back at Wild Finca and it’s been another amazing week. Thanks for letting us help out. One day these ponds will be fixed and stay fixed. Who knows, maybe the Sandpiper will bring a friend next time! - Ewout, Belgium

I had an amazing week full of digging ponds, taking lovely walks, painting your wall and being amazed at the landscapes every time I went outside - Marit, Belgium

Thank you for showing me a different way of life, it has been amazing to learn about new wildlife, picking veggies from the garden and living a sustainable life. I can’t wait to come back again and enjoy more adventures. Wild Finca has been a dream- Holly, UK

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity you gave us to stay in this beautiful place and see all the work you’ve put into it! We truly had a great time - working, exploring, watching the scenery from the mound, spending time with you four and playing with the dogs - Simona & Francesco, Italy

I am very grateful for the beautiful days I had in your house. This place is really magical. Wild Finca is an incredible project and such an inspiration for the future. More than anything thank you for your kindness and your patience. I wish you the best and to have always more wildlife - Claire, France

Thank you so much for having us at your amazing selfmade farm. We had the best views from our campervan, marvellous sunrises and crystal clear nights to watch the stars. Thanks for the great time, including taking us for a mushroom walk and feeding us with amazing food especially the pumpkins from your garden! - Michael & Leo

Thank you so so much for taking me in like one of the family. You live in such a beautiful place and have the most inspiring dream (that’s already a reality). What you have done and are doing is excatly what the earth needs. I wish you the best of luck for the years to come! I was able to learn a lot in the short time I spent there, new edible flowers (thanks to Roan) how to plant a tree! The importance of wildlife and loads of other stuff both personally and practically. It was a fab experience and so nice to use my body to calm my mind and do good things. Wishing you all the best, lots of love, happiness and WILDLIFE - Lucy, from Leicester lives in Berlin

Thank you for the great time I had staying with you, you really made me feel welcome in your lovely family! You are so lucky to live in such a wonderful place, carrying on the amazing project of Wild Finca. I wish you all the best of luck and I would definitely love to visit you again one day, to see the progress you’ll have done, enjoy another delicious meal cooked by Katie, and have a tour of finca by Luke, hopefully on a sunny day! I feel I am leaving highly enriched by this experience and by knowing you - Marco, Italy

We loved working with Luke in the vegetable patch and around the finca. Thank you also to Katie for the great food, it was always delicious and we loved eating together with you. We really enjoyed being part of your family life in this amazing mountain landscape. Thanks for trusting us and making us feel at home - Adele and Amalie

We have enjoyed being with you at Wild Finca so so much. Thank you for being so welcoming and kind and having us as part of the gang. We love everything you are doing here with the project and the land, and have really loved helping out. We have loved exploring, mushroom foraging, horse riding, watching shooting stars, our night time quests for salamanders and badgers. It is so magical! We are also grateful for all the knowledge you have passed on to us. It has been a real treat to eat such tasty fresh veg from the garden (pumpkins galore!) - Holly & Charlie, UK
