Bio Farm on the Rhine

After an amazing two weeks, some of us went on to spend a few days at the largest organic farm in Switzerland which also runs a number of very interesting social projects. Beautiful setting on the Rhine, lots of swimming and sunshine and learning and delicious farm fresh food! An incredible experience.
