Finca Remedio permaculture farm in the mountains

*update!

We are looking for a very clean and detailed oriented person to clean our two airbnbs and guest kitchen while I am away Jan 25th-march 9...it doesnt have to be the whole time but min 2 weeks. You would be the only volunteer on the farm and stay in a big tent unless one of the airbnbs is empty. There will be another person staying on the farm (Naldo or Barti) + guests. This task will take max 20 hours a week

We have a 40 acre farm in the tropical mountains of Puerto Rico. Our finca is an off grid jungle paradise, fruit forest, healing space and community space. We offer community workshops on all kinds of healing, sustainability and artistic skills. We also have two places we rent for guests, a glamping deck and cob roundhouse. We have a superadobe home that we built with the guidance of an amazing teacher and lots of friends. We have an epic river with big swimming holes and waterfalls, a 40 minutes hiking path and forest as far as the eye can see.

Just Naldo and I live here. We are the stewards of this land and started this project 8 years ago. We occasionally receive volunteers to help us care for the large fruit forest we have planted and some infrastructure maintenance. We hang out with volunteers sometimes but not ofte and need volunteers who are self motivated and enjoy farm work. We only occasionally host volunteers, when we do we prefer to host 2-3 people at a time so volunteers can work as a team and don't feel lonely. We will give guidance on what tasks are needed and how to do them but wont always work together as we have lots of different things we do. We are especially looking for volunteers who have farm experience working with weed wackers, chainsaws or construction.

This experience really was everything I needed & more. I was working with Alexa to feed 20ish volunteers lunch & dinner for a natural building workshop! I learnt loads about nutrition, digestion & the best way to get the most out of the food. I also got to feed the chickens & collect eggs. On too of cooking it was a real treat to dip into parts of the workshop. I had 0 experience in this but left feeling inspired & empowered to do something like this in the future. Alexa & Naldo really have a great thing going. P.s. don’t leave without visiting the gorg waterfall and rivers on their finca!

Bella is a beautiful human and great volunteer. She helped us cook for 20 people for a weeklong workshop. She was a always down to help with efficiency and positive vibes. She never complained even about annoying tasks like taking the compost up to the chicken coop 3x a day. She is easy going, strong, solidaridary, a fast learner and has a great laugh. It was truly a blessing to host her.

Alexa and Naldo were great hosts! Work could be intense but you can learn great things along the way. The farm is absolutely beautiful!

It is a place to learn about sustainability, relax and learn a bit about yourself.
I would recommend it for someone that has already worked in gardens and has a lot of energy.

I had a wonderful time at Finca Remedio! Alexa and Naldo were wonderful host and people . They are very kind and caring people. The land they live on is absolutely gorgeous and the sounds of the rainforest each night are beyond peaceful. There is plenty to do near by and there are lots of people flowing in and out. If you like nature this is a great place to volunteer at. There are three large waterfalls with a hiking path to them on the farm. The work can be intense for some and you may work on some steep inclines. It was very manageable and macheting the jungle was quite fun.

My time at Finca Remedio was amazing. Alexa and Naldo are some of the nicest people, and were so welcoming. It is also a great voluteer opportunity to meet so many new people, as different people stay almost everynight through AirBnB, and I was even offered to go to the beach with some of the people that stayed on a day off. The waterfalls are perfect, the nature is great, and I couldnt recommend volunteering here any more! I hope to come back some day.
