Yeilin & Maria are Shirley's daughters, their ecofarm is on a mountain slope totally immersed in nature, they have Hens and Goats, Dogs &Cat, the trio team is an absolute delight to practice all mannerisms straight from the heart. Every single action and conversation were all about working your heart chakra. We practiced Meditation and Yoga to start our day, lots of exchange about spirituality and essence of life, learning Spanish was fun and positive. Animal care & Nature care were part of the jobs, no time pressure whatsoever, more relaxed and intone with the environment. Pura Vida!

Absolutely loved my time with Shirley and Yeilen on their family farm. I learnt so much about the local culture, environmental impact, sustainability and farming in Costa Rica. I was the only volunteer during my stay, but never felt alone with the company of Shirley and Yeilen. Also some good local hikes around near waterfalls and jungle. Would recommend anyone wanting to learn, connect with nature and meet/ work with great empowering woman.

This is my first time in Costa Rica and I would most definitely like to come back. The experience is and was incredible and I really don't want to leave. The hosts are very friendly and are very fun to work with and talk to! The location is absolutely stunning with a view right across the valley which you get to observe whist working on the farm. Our trip to Maria to make homemade tortillas was very fun and delicious I will be making them at home when I get back! Overall this was one of the best experiences of my life and I'm very grateful to the Hosts for providing such an unforgettable time.

I absolutely loved my stay with Shirley, Yeilin and Maria! Perfect place for connecting with nature, learning about sustainability and local culture. Tasks were easy and caring about their adorable goats and chickens was such a therapeutic experience for me. Definitely recommend this finca to everyone! Muchas gracias por todo!

This experience was once in a lifetime! You are instantly welcomed into Yeilin and Shirley's beautiful family and are treated like so for the whole stay. The work was interesting and interacting with the animals was great fun. They have so much knowledge about permaculture and costa rica and love to share it with you. The meals were incredible and we even got some spanish classes from Yeilin which were super helpful (and fun). We miss them already!

It has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Nature there is mesmerizing, the food – is delicious, and the hosts Shirley and Yeilin are angels. They are very kind and caring. Being in their presence constantly reminds you how beautiful life is. They are also wise and knowledgeable, so they can teach you a lot about how to live in peace with nature. I enjoyed our long and meaningful conversations and I will miss these people a lot.

We were told on one of the first days that they treat volunteers like we are part of their family - and it was certainly true. The work with the animals and around the farm was interesting and explained very well. The care they have for the animals, the environment as a whole, and for the volunteers is incredible. Yeilin also gave us Spanish lessons in the afternoons and we learnt so much (and had a lot of fun) and we even got to practice in the local market with Shirley! We will miss this place and the beautiful people who live here, and hope we can return one day!
