We really enjoyed our time at the the farm! Our hosts Deepa and Thomas were super nice and really made sure we had a good time during our stay. Deepa made sure our bellies were full with delicious Dal Baht and other snacks. We also got tea and coffee daily. The farm itself is beautiful, surrounded by hills and some other local farms. The work was 5h/day as agreed upon and we got a good break at the hottest part of the day. It was really interesting to see how a coffee farm works and how local people live in these rather remote areas. I can only recommend this experience!

I was not able to stay long due to a family emergency. During the monsoon months the main job to do is pulling out weeds and grass; so if you're looking to learn about planting and cultivation, I would recommend you go in a different season. Dipa and her brother are both very friendly and will make your stay at the farm extremely comfortable.

Thank you for the review. Rebeca stayed with us for 3 days in July. Unfortunately she had to return quickly to her country. During the days she stayed with us we got a very good impression of her. She was friendly, kind, and took on the tasks seemingly with positive eagerness.

P.S about rainy season, June to august a lot of the work is weeding and cutting grass. These months have fast growth and at times we need to work continously to keep up. Volunteers can learn how to use a sickle and how to make the weeds and grass cuttings into compost . Its hard work and we adjust according to volunteers capacity. Compost is fundamental for plant cultivation and for the organic farm. 90% of our supply is started during these months.
There are also many other jobs for volunteers, like greenhouse maintenance, plant care, plant inspection, research.
We do a lot of planting too in the first month of rainy season, in the field and in the greenhouse. We are making a website, and will update with more information about the work during the different seasons of the year. Thomas

Mariana are an experienced traveller/volunteer and eased very quickly into our environment. She is friendly , calm, positive, interested and capable in all the tasks at the farm. We had a wonderful time together and a rewarding cultural exchange, also learning a lot about Mexico! Warm regards from all of us at the farm.
