Experience Off-Grid Permaculture Farm life in Costa Rica

United States

I had an amazing time at the project! I stayed 3 weeks, but I wish I stayed longer. Laura and Alba were perfect hosts and Laura led such fun and diverse activities. The day to day was very enjoyable with the perfect amount of time to yourself. I was able to learn so much and also reconnect with nature. We had a great group of people and even got to hang out with locals. It was such a privilege to experience this lifestyle. I highly recommend!

I had such a great experience on the finca. I learned so much about sustainability and I really value the time I had to reconnect with nature in such a remote place. I highly recommend this finca to anyone looking to spend time in nature or experience something new!

We really enjoyed our stay at the finca! The proximity with nature and the setting of the farm offer a peaceful and serene experience. We appreciated the diversity of the tasks as well as working with different volunteers from all around the world. Thank you Kylie, Elodie, Giuseppe, Laura and Dona for making our stay unforgettable! This volunteer program has also allowed us to see Costa Rica in a more authentic way, to meet locals and to enjoy the pura vida lifestyle. If you decide to go to this volunteering program, be prepared to eat a lot of bananas (don't worry there are good)!

Tom and I spent a beautiful two weeks learning lots of new skills - planting, cooking, harvesting & fixing things around the farm. The location was stunning - rolling hills and lush greenery. We saw so much amazing Costa Rican wildlife! Living simply and sustainably was powerful! And this is an amazing project! We met such wonderful people and will cherish our time of the farm! Thank you!

I absolutely loved my time at the project - it was way too short!! Alba is an incredible woman who created a beautiful place in the literal middle of nowhere;)) I felt heartedly welcomed the minute I entered the farm. It's a wonderful place in nature, not as easily accessible though. During the week it is hard to truly leave the farm at all but on the weekends you can make some trips to explore more of Costa Rica. The work is very manageable and Alba and Laura are both extremely knowledgeable when it comes to eco-farming and sustainability. I learned a lot from them!!

I spent three and a half wonderful weeks at the project and felt part of the place from the start. Alba has created a beautiful home and farm full of heart, shared with her daughter, two dogs, a cat and the volunteers—everyone makes you feel truly welcome. This place is full of purpose—it's inspiring, peaceful and surrounded by stunning nature. I left with new skills, impulses, recipes, and valuable knowledge about sustainable living and permaculture. Highly recommend! :)

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🌞
