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!

My time at the eco village was honestly one of the best experiences ever. The hosts rob and Rebe were very welcoming. Everything about this Epic Trip felt so genuine and full of good vibes. The vegan food was amazing super fresh and made with so much love. I loved the coconut and soap workshops, the snorkeling tour, and the massage that left me feeling so relaxed. The turtle patrols were definitely my favorite part ,seeing the turtles and helping protect their eggs was just magical. This place has such a peaceful, healing energy. I left feeling so grounded, inspired, and grateful for it all.

One of the best experiences I've ever had traveling. Not only was the facility beautiful but the people who work there were top tier. The food was fantastic (I miss it with my whole heart), the excursions were very fun, and the experience of helping with conservation of sea turtles was heart warming. The time spent at the facility was also amazing. I spent a lot of time at the beach (5 min walk) and exploring the land around me. I would recommend this trip to anyone! 10/10
