Finca Sol y Valle

¡Hola! Hi! Salut ! Oi! Ciao!

Welcome to our farm, Finca Sol y Valle.

Disconnect from a city-rushed lifestyle and into a low-paced journey. We are a community of heart-centered people co-creating a more sustainable lifestyle in harmony with nature. The property includes extensive organic gardens for personal consumption, a food forest with over 100 fruit trees, and more than half of the farm is a protected secondary forest with 50+ year old trees. Other areas on the property include a bamboo forest for construction needs and several bio-construction projects. Our project serves as a sustainable, regenerative model contrasting with the chemical-based farms in regions near and far.

The experience at our farm is a dream come true: Wake up with Nature’s orchestra of sounds. Come to the kitchen and join a made-with-love breakfeast. Daily, we all learn from the processes of nature; from seed to the fruit, take part in process of planting, taking care of, harvesting, and eating. In the edible forest, we see and learn from the slower process of fruit trees growing. In the rest of the lush secondary forest, we are able to witness the magnificent older trees of ficus, cedro nogal, targuá, and so much more! In our free time we can be making campfires, jamming to music, and singing prayers to the Great Mystery.

Afternoons are free time for you to relax, read a book, write, take a walk, and socialize with the community. At night, go to bed early and have a proper and well-deserved rest.

Weekends are also free time. Well-being practices like meditation and exercise are highly recommended. You could also take the weekend to visit a local site such as the Irazu Volcano, Guayabo Archeological National Monument, the Organic Market, and more.

Depending on the current project, we can also be harvesting huge bamboo guadua canes to then process to build with them later on. With such natural building practices is how we built our greenhouse, the composting center, the recycling center, the tipi, and more.

This is a small close-knit farm, so we can host up to 5 volunteers at our place. We also have a homestay program, so there is also the possibility to stay at a local family house. :)

In addition to ongoing volunteer opportunity, we also offer courses including our Permaculture Design Course, Spanish Immersion Course, and more.

Contact us and we would love to see how we can connect and work together. We would love to share our beautiful farm with you, all in the beautiful heart of Costa Rica.

¡Pura vida!

We are a team of four young professionals, from Costa Rica and the United States, with the main intention to live from regenerative life practices. We are happy to share our lifestyle with a worldwide community; acting locally and having a positive global impact!
