We are a dedicated team passionate about sustainability, community, and holistic living. Our mission is to create a sanctuary where nature and nurture come together, providing a space for individuals to connect with the environment and each other. We're nurturing an incredible eco retreat surrounded by the most beautiful natural settings. We are looking for like-minded active people who want to come and enjoy the tranquil mountains and help with daily tasks in exchange for accommodation and food harvested from the land. Activities could include building and updating irrigation systems, designing and building solar microgrids, learning and implementing organic farming practices, and general handy work and maintenance like painting, cleaning, etc. New construction projects will continue to arise, so building knowledge will be quite useful. For those experienced or seeking to add to the programming activities for other volunteers, experience relating to things like yoga, meditation, massage, jiu-jitsu, and eco-sustainability are welcome! The exchange is for a minimum of 2 weeks. 5 hours a day / 5 days a week. We begin each day at 8:15 am. and our community meal is at 1:15pm and is a Simple VEGAN Meal consisting of soup or another dish and bread or rice or noodles. Most tasks are active and outdoors so be sure to stay hydrated and bring your protective gear (closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, hat, long sleeve, pants, sunscreen, natural bug spray, headlamps, gloves etc.). An ideal guest embodies respect, responsibility, and a passion for outdoor work and learning. They are punctual, diligent in cleaning up tools and spaces after use, and demonstrate a proactive approach to tasks. This individual embraces the outdoor environment, capable of working under the sun, and eager to expand their skills and knowledge. They value others' time, privacy, and property, fostering a harmonious community atmosphere. Passionate about nature and holistic wellness, they contribute positively to our shared goals of sustainability and personal growth.

My sons went and volunteered here and they had an amazing experience. They only had rave reviews and positive things to say and gratitude. The locals were so engaging and kind and Wiz and his family took time out of his life to really welcome and show my boys a great time. They both came away changed for the better from this experienced and excited to do another one. Thank you!

my experience at Sumer Farms was amazing! my trip was last minute with tickets already booked and Joey was super flexible with dates so that helped a ton. we were lucky enough to stay in a small house a mile away from the farm. Most of the work I did while at Sumer Farms was making hiking paths and some concrete work on their main road. Some days were a lot more physically intense than other and what really stood out to me was Joey's genuine care for us, he didn't want us to burn out or get injured, Thank you so much Joey for having me!

Thank you, Xander, for coming to join us and the awesome times shared during your stay! We loved having you and your brother and it was an overall pleasure to welcome you to the Sumer Farms community. The neighbors, other volunteers, contract workers, and everyone who got to meet you were all positively touched by your energy and enthusiasm. Please come back and see us again soon!

I fully enjoyed my time at Sumer Farms, the peace found on the property is unmatched. Two long term residents, Jamie and Zoe, made the experience what it was by offering community and wonderful food to the volunteers, they made it feel like home. The work we did was centered around the health and wellbeing of us and the finca, mostly harvest and maintenance around the houses, gardens, and trails; the work-life balance was fitting for a work stay.

Had to be flexible with sleeping arrangements and transportation in and out of the farm, and the property is fairly deep in the mountains as well

I spent 3 weeks at Sumer Farms. I really enjoyed my stay thanks to one of the permanent residents, Jaime, who is really engaged with the volunteers, as well as keen to educate and teach about the Puertorican culture and cuisine.
Blake and Joey who run the farm are very kindhearted people.
Heads up is to be flexible where you sleep if you don’t sleep in a tent. The chores that I did were more maintenance of the property and to clean the houses after AirBnB guests. I think it would have been a full circled experience if there would have been a yoga or building event at the time I was there.
