The Experience
We need help preparing meals for our group vacation and retreat guests. We're looking for volunteers who are talented cooks wanting to get experience making veggie/vegan farm-to-table food. Previous experience producing food in a restaurant kitchen or stall would be ideal. Volunteers stay in a purpose-built station, work for 5 hours per day for 6 days, and can use any of the facilities at the property. This is a work exchange!

This experience was meaningful and well organized. The host created a welcoming environment and made an effort to ensure everyone felt comfortable and included.

I had an incredible experience at the eco village! The hosts were so friendly and welcoming. You can tell they love what they do and they put lots of care into their work and creating a wonderful experience for their guests! They are working hard to create sustainable tourism and help the local community and sea life as well. The property was beautiful and all of the accommodations were clean and comfortable. I would recommend the eco village to anyone!

I could not say enough good things about the eco village, Rebe and Rob, and the entire staff. Their passion for leaving the world a better place is inspiring, and I cannot wait to go back someday. I absolutely love everything they are doing to live sustainably and uplift the community of Drake Bay. 10/10 experience I would recommend to ANYONE looking to travel sustainably!
