Travel duration stipulated volunteer and farmer. Most often, the volunteers come for a period of up to two weeks, but there are exceptions in a few days, or six or seven months.
There are a number of rules, which should be found in the section FAQ on the website of the organization. It is said that they are quite ordinary. For example, the age of the volunteer must be at least 18 years and no upper age limit at all. But we must not forget that the work will have four to six hours a day, so you should soberly assess their strength.
