Experience Off-Grid Permaculture Farm life in Costa Rica

I had a truly impactful time at the project. The farm is just far enough away from most things that you feel very immersed and like you can get away from everything at the farm, while still being close to small towns so you can get to know the local culture. The work experience was everything I hoped for and alba is such an inspiration as a mother and a leader to everyone I worked with. The people I worked with were so friendly and interesting I was so glad to connect with them. My only advice is to sign up to go to the farm now! You won't regret it!

Me and my girlfriend had an awesome two weeks at the project. The physical environment is beautiful and relaxing. It is incredibly verdant and fertile with a river down the hill for swimming and bathing. The social environment was terrific as well. Alba and all of the farm volunteers were kind and welcoming. I felt we created a meaningful connections with everybody there. The working days are challenging but overly so, and you can do the amount of work you feel comfortable with. There is also plenty of free time, both after work and on the weekends. I only wish we stayed longer!

Birds singing as dawn breaks, rustling in the trees, hummingbirds flying to the nearest flower, butterflies fluttering by, a reminder to embrace stillness & be present, appreciate the simplicity & beauty of nature's creations. gracias alba for sharing your dream project w so many of us, for teaching us about everyday farm life, sharing the why about the ongoing projects, & for showing what it takes to build your dream from scratch. te deseo mucho éxito (a ti y a tu niña hermosa) ! 💓

Alba made me feel very welcomed from when I first arrived. I was able to learn a lot about sustainability, while having fun with all of the other volunteers in a beautiful spot in the mountains.

My time at the project was so incredible, I so wish I could have stayed longer than 2 weeks. The farm itself is stunning. It is located in the countryside with lush vegetation. I learned alot about how to recycle our waste into resources and how to provide for ourselves in harmony with the land. Alba is the most patient and understanding individual. I am so inspired by her openness to understand and treat all situations with kindness.

We can't put into words nor have the ability to write a short description about how incredible our time at Albas farm truly was. Alba is one of the most badass, loving and welcoming people you will ever meet. You absolutely become family when you arrive at the farm, if you get accepted to this opportunity you have won the lottery in our opinion. Apply here if you want to experience what it feels like to be alive and at home in nature. We cannot thank you enough Alba and we can't wait to come back and see what you and the other volunteers create and grow in the meantime.

I wish Alba and her Bebecita all the best and I am so grateful to been there!

Alba's farm is a truly magical place! This experience's all I ever could've asked for and more. The work's fun and rewarding, and everything is explained so well that it's no problem even with no prior experience. I also loved the community life, living and cooking together with the other volunteers, who're all wonderful! Not to mention living in the midst of gorgeous nature and learning everyday. Alba, you're a constant inspiration, running the farm with so much knowledge and expertise as well as creating such an accepting and loving space. Lots of love to you, Aura, Baco, Menta and Anis!❤️

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I really enjoyed working on the farm! The place is incredible and Alba is a really caring host and I learned a lot form her I worked together with six volunteers and they were all really fun and kind. The work we did was different every day, so that was really nice. So overall, I really liked the experience and would recommend it to everyone.
