| Here is a small selection of quotes from just some of the volunteers who have stayed at Ipe so you can see for yourself how others have enjoyed their time here. |

"The time I spent in Ipe was the greatest experience of communal and happy life. I learned so much about myself and everything surrounding me, I feel full. All the energy floating around this place is very powerful and positive. Ipe is a great learning place and healing place." "It's a very special place here. A place like a 'paradise' - warm and a lot of understanding. A place to think what is real important in life. To find out what you really want." "Ipe, you have a place in the fondest place in my heart. Thank you to every spirit that has passed through here and shared with me and thank you for everything I have learned to give. I will forever be inspired by this memory." |
"Thank you Ipe for showing me that my dream of a sustainable community farm is possible; this place gives people hope and sends them on their way with a little more love in their hearts than when they came." "Finca Ipe gave me an experience that was missing on my trip, to stay at a place and see how life's going here. In this 2 weeks my relation to nature became even higher and I learned a lot of interesting things. Thanks for that!" "We came -we saw - we rocked. Ipe people - thanks for a great time. If I were a lettuce I would be a green happy one...who wouldn't be after 3 weeks at the Finca. It's all good, and may it continue to be so." "To all the people at Ipe, thank you for your hospitality, and the introduction to organic agriculture. Hope you fulfil all your goals and intentions educating others and sharing the love of the land with the locals. Thank you." "Thank you for spirally curves of flame, pungent smells of dill and basil, an unforgettable visit to the cave, good black soil, baby lettuces, sunsets - each night better than the last! Laughter, music and friendship." |

"This has been a truly magical place with magical people who made me feel like an integral part of things from the moment I stumbled through the door. I came a weary traveler and I leave (all too soon) a more peaceful, enlightened and connected being." "Thanks Finca Ipe. I enjoyed this environment too much. We've shared happiness! So nice! I'll come back some day. I learned so many things here. Finca Ipe gives me energy. I'm very satisfied with the people I met here. I'll miss the night when we sing, the night of the full moon, the night of shooting stars, the sunset from the volunteer's kitchen, cooking together. EVERYTHING."

"Quite a wonderful experience here. The positive energy and memories of beautiful people and scenery will remain with me forever. It's always nice to be reminded that there are places and people that seek to change the society simply by living happier and more fulfilling lives. I trust that the hard work and love from volunteers (short & long term) will pay off in the form of a sustainable and progressive community." "Finca Ipe rhymes with 'Stinka Ipe'. No one can argue with this statement. However upon closer examination, there are really quite a few wonderful smelling herbs and with the exception of the methan gas converter 'Stinka Ipe' is really quite unfair. I had a fantastic time am glad to have known the family. I have no doubt I will one day bellow at the bus driver to stop at Ipe again." |
