Maravillosa experiencia, primeras navidades fuera de casa y han sido geniales!!! El equipo fue buenísimo, la naturaleza mágica... Conecta con la naturaleza, saluda a los vecinos, mira las estrellas y escucha los coquis por la noche, básicamente sé felizzz, trabaja la tierra para que dé sus tan ricos frutos!!! Un abrazo, y hasta la próxima ☺️🌳

Me alegro mucho, haberte ofrecido unas navidades - y unas parandas y actividades de los Reyes - inolvidades fuera de tu patria. Ya Puerto Rico te adoptó! Hasta la próxima y gracias por tu trabajo.

There is not enough space to encapsulate how incredible of an experience Lisa provides with her farm in Yabucoa. From her Michelin worthy cooking, extensive knowledge that you will gain about agriculture in the tropics, appreciating farm to table, breathtaking views, and incredible people you will get to meet. If you arrive prepared to embrace a challenge, you will be rewarded with a positive life changing experience. My only regret is not having more time to stay, but I make it my full intent to return. Thank you Lisa for everything, buen provecho.

My experience at Lisa's was nothing short of amazing! As soon as I met Lisa she had good energy. She is very sweet and has so many interesting life stories and knowledge to share. The house is clean, organized, and spacious which made it easy for me to relax and have good sleep for time out on the farm! the food was so yummy and healthy with so much grown from the farm which felt so rewarding! We got to meet other locals and visit different farms through the brigade lisa is in. The work could sometimes be challenging but so worth it! I'll cherish my time there and hope I can visit again:)

My time on the farm was unforgettable. Lisa is a wealth of wisdom and anyone who listens can learn a lot from her and her experiences. The delicious, farm-fresh meals we shared were made even more memorable by the thought-provoking conversations we had over them. But beware, if you're looking for a free vacation, search elsewhere. The sun is hot and the work is hard, but for a person with a good attitude, this place is perfect.

Ha, ha, you nailed it! It's a farm, not a retreat. But I'm happy you enjoyed your stay and want to come back. You're greatly missed.

The project set the bar high for my first WorldPacker experience! Lisa's passion for permaculture and cozy, well-organized space made me feel safe and supported. The work was challenging but rewarding, with a great balance of structure and leisure. The schedule is flexible as long as you complete your hours, and she was extremely patient as I was learning, and finding my way through the farm. An unforgettable experience. I've learned so much about PR, farming and myself! Gracias Lisa por todo! Eres gran persona!

The entire experience was wonderful! Exactly what is needed more of in life is education about farming sustainability. The accommodations were excellent and the food was excellent! Had a chance to meet other travelers from around the worldpackers community and get to know them and share experiences in their travels. Highly recommended if you want to learn about farming and sustainability!!

Lisa is a person of many skills and stories, also very passionate about PR's history so you get an immersive experience. She took great care of us; comfortable accommodations, cooking delicious meals, teaching proper use of equipment, trips to local hotspots & creating an environment that's enjoyable. She is hands-on, direct & methodical which is my love language - best for those open to going with the flow that she sets. During off hours, it's great connecting with nature. I leave with a wealth of farming knowledge, a better understanding of PR culture & a fully tummy. Thank you Lisa -Trimmy

Had a great time at Lisa's!! Her place is the right one to charge the batteries and embrace a healthy lifestyle: working with your hands, eat home grown food, go to bed and wake up early. We learned a lot regarding permaculture and Puerto Rico's traditions. We really enjoyed Fano's (the neighbour) company and even sang him a happy birthday. The other workawayers are amazing guys and I wish them all the best. I can't recommend enough Lisa's opportunity!!

Lisa is such a great host! She taught us a lot about native crops, from preparing the soil and planting them to harvesting part. She also used all the food from the finca to cook delicious meals. She can have conversations about everything, with really smart arguments! The work is demanding but extremely rewarding at the same time. We spent two weeks with her and had an amazing experience!

Thanks for contributing to what makes farm life fun. When I grow up I'll beat you in chess ;-)

Staying at Lisa's finca was a great experience. I have no complaints over anything really, this experience exceeded my expectations. I met a handful of wonderful people including herself and it was a good exposure to Puerto Rico's culture and beauty. The work was somewhat exhausting haha though satisfying work because you saw the results of what everyone did. I learned a lot about gardening/agriculture and Puerto Rico, so to me that's a gran combo.
