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 one of the best experiences I've had in my life thus far! Rob and Rebe were amazing hosts, Feli and all the volunteers, solo WP travelers and the families that were there were all such amazing individuals. Being apart of the culture and putting in the work for sea turtle conservation was amazing! Living and working on a self sustaining homestead, doing group activities, family meals 3 times a day was soo nice and the food was delicious. The energy that the eco village was like no other, very welcoming, very peaceful, it was a very humbling experience.

The eco village is a magical place! If you really want to dive into jungle life and learn through a hands-on experience, this is the place. Rob and Rebe were so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. I learned so much about turtle conservation, farm-to-table and sustainability. I am very grateful for having had this experience! Lots of love from Colombia! XOXO

It's hard to put into words how special this place is. This was my first time hosting a group trip, and from start to finish, Rob, Rebe, and Felipe went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed with so much care and ease. They were incredibly communicative and involved every step of the way leaving us feeling like family by the end. You can tell how much love and intention they've poured into this place. The work we did felt meaningful, the food was incredible, and the energy of the finca itself is just magic. A piece of me will always be there, and I'd go back in a heartbeat!!!

Rob and Rebe have created a wonderful home that is very welcoming to all kinds of people! They are very accommodating and more than happy to assist with any needs that one may have. I have nothing but good things to say about them and would highly recommend staying with them!

I absolutely loved my stay at Finca! Rob and Rebe made us feel at home and brought us right into the projects! We learned so much about sea turtle conservation, got to experience authentic local culture and we were immersed in the Costa Rica jungle. From the coconut workshops to the night patrols, I loved every moment🌎💕
