Experience Off-Grid Permaculture Farm life in Costa Rica

Austria

5

I loved my stay at the project! It was such an amazing and eye opening experience. Me and two of my friends worked there for two weeks, but I wish we would have stayed longer. I got to learn so much about permaculture, plants, animals and living off grid. Alba and all the volunteers created such a great and comfortable environment so I immediately felt at home there. I enjoyed every part of the work, the cooking, the planting, the painting, the harvesting and all the other tasks. There was just so much to learn and do for the first time. Thank you so much Alba, i'm so grateful!! :)

I had the most incredible experience at the project! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by Alba and the other volunteers. I was able to learn so much about sustainable farming practices, organic agriculture, and the importance of waste control. The work was both fulfilling and challenging, from planting crops, cultivating the land, preparing lunch, laying concrete pathways and chopping wood, everyday felt like a new adventure. This experience has left me with lifelong memories, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to connect with nature and make a positive impact. 🌿

It's hard to describe my wonderful time at the project in only a few sentences. I arrived at the farm hoping to learn about agroforestry and permaculture, to have a great time with new people and to improve my Spanish. I have been working and living on the farm for 3 weeks and it was amazing! I got by far more than what I hoped for. I learned a lot, enjoyed good company and food, practiced my Spanish and had time for myself. The farm is such a peaceful, healthy place and Alba is a true inspiration to me. I hope to come back here once again. Muchas gracias y un abrazo fuerte🌞

I had such a good time at my stay in April I had to return to the farm for longer. There is such a great sense of respect for the nature and strong community at the project. It is such a good environment to connect with the earth and with yourself, as well as take a break from the online rat race to return to our roots. Alba is very kind and manages the farm so well. It is always such a rewarding experience to see the work you're putting in and the outcome of all the projects.

I had a truly impactful time at the project. The farm is just far enough away from most things that you feel very immersed and like you can get away from everything at the farm, while still being close to small towns so you can get to know the local culture. The work experience was everything I hoped for and alba is such an inspiration as a mother and a leader to everyone I worked with. The people I worked with were so friendly and interesting I was so glad to connect with them. My only advice is to sign up to go to the farm now! You won't regret it!

Me and my girlfriend had an awesome two weeks at the project. The physical environment is beautiful and relaxing. It is incredibly verdant and fertile with a river down the hill for swimming and bathing. The social environment was terrific as well. Alba and all of the farm volunteers were kind and welcoming. I felt we created a meaningful connections with everybody there. The working days are challenging but overly so, and you can do the amount of work you feel comfortable with. There is also plenty of free time, both after work and on the weekends. I only wish we stayed longer!

Birds singing as dawn breaks, rustling in the trees, hummingbirds flying to the nearest flower, butterflies fluttering by, a reminder to embrace stillness & be present, appreciate the simplicity & beauty of nature's creations. gracias alba for sharing your dream project w so many of us, for teaching us about everyday farm life, sharing the why about the ongoing projects, & for showing what it takes to build your dream from scratch. te deseo mucho éxito (a ti y a tu niña hermosa) ! 💓

Alba made me feel very welcomed from when I first arrived. I was able to learn a lot about sustainability, while having fun with all of the other volunteers in a beautiful spot in the mountains.

My time at the project was so incredible, I so wish I could have stayed longer than 2 weeks. The farm itself is stunning. It is located in the countryside with lush vegetation. I learned alot about how to recycle our waste into resources and how to provide for ourselves in harmony with the land. Alba is the most patient and understanding individual. I am so inspired by her openness to understand and treat all situations with kindness.
