I had so much fun at this farm! Not only were the hosts smart and ambitious but they are creative and have very open minds. I enjoy the way they work with nature, never against it. Very recommendable :)

Shirley and Yeilin were so welcoming and kind during my stay. Everyone there spoke Spanish (5 other volunteers, unusual I think!) and I am a beginner so it was really hard work understanding most of the conversations, but I I think I learned a lot. I learned about cutting and curing bamboo and prepping a field for planting passionfruit :) They were always eager to answer questions. I also hurt my ankle (outside the farm) and they were very kind and helped me with treatment and rest. Lots of chickens, refreshing cold shower, lots of mud, interesting people, healthy food… recommend!

If you have the chance of coming to the finca, do so! I had a wonderful time connecting with nature, the family and myself. Cheerly and Yeilin are amazing, warm and caring women as well as great cooks. They were very patient and helpful in helping me improve my Spanish and animated the most interesting conversations during our meals. The work itself was positively intense and very rewarding. Depending on whether other volunteers are present you'll have a lot of free time to spend with yourself or the volunteers. I definitely recommend taking books and other things to occupy yourself :)

Shirley, Yeilin, and Maria are the absolute sweetest and most welcoming hosts. I had so much fun living and working alongside them. The work is not strenuous at all and it was so awesome to learn about all of their sustainable practices. I always looked forward to each meal with them. It was a really great opportunity that I cannot recommend enough!!! Do bring lots to read (a lot of free time)!

I had an incredible time at the project. From the moment I arrived, the whole family made sure that I felt welcome and comfortable. They were very kind and patient in helping me work on my Spanish. I also learned a lot from them about permaculture from our morning work. I enjoyed afternoon walks on the road they live on. I would definitely recommend bringing gloves and a book or other activity for the afternoon. I would definitely go again!

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers and it was amazing! Volunteering with Yeilin is a great way to learn about culture and food of Costa Rica as well as organic agriculture/permaculture. The family and their friends are very kind and respectful. I feel like I experienced real local, rural life here. We only spoke Spanish, which was perfect for improving my language skills. The work during my stay was mainly planting seeds and trees. I also enjoyed the free time in the hammock with a good book or went for a walk along the „road“ up or down the mountain.

Great family experience! Yeilin and Shirley are so kind! The farm is in the middle of nature, really nice to rest! I did different manual works during my stay (remember to bring gloves). You will also have a lot of free time for yourself, so bring some books :)

What a blessing it was to volunteering with Shirley and Yeilin. They open their arms to the volunteers and share their way of life. Everyday, I looked forward to the daily task, delicious healthy meals, and engaging conversation. I highly recommend this place if you looking to connect with nature and learn about permaculture. Deeply touched by this experience!

From the first day on Shirley, Yeilin and Maria made me feel like a part of the family. The provided food is delicious and the work is very manageable. I recommend a basic Spanish knowledge if you want to further improve your Spanish. Definitely recommended! :)
