I had so much fun at this farm! Not only were the hosts smart and ambitious but they are creative and have very open minds. I enjoy the way they work with nature, never against it. Very recommendable :)

Shirley and Yeilin were so welcoming and kind during my stay. Everyone there spoke Spanish (5 other volunteers, unusual I think!) and I am a beginner so it was really hard work understanding most of the conversations, but I I think I learned a lot. I learned about cutting and curing bamboo and prepping a field for planting passionfruit :) They were always eager to answer questions. I also hurt my ankle (outside the farm) and they were very kind and helped me with treatment and rest. Lots of chickens, refreshing cold shower, lots of mud, interesting people, healthy food… recommend!

If you have the chance of coming to the finca, do so! I had a wonderful time connecting with nature, the family and myself. Cheerly and Yeilin are amazing, warm and caring women as well as great cooks. They were very patient and helpful in helping me improve my Spanish and animated the most interesting conversations during our meals. The work itself was positively intense and very rewarding. Depending on whether other volunteers are present you'll have a lot of free time to spend with yourself or the volunteers. I definitely recommend taking books and other things to occupy yourself :)

Shirley, Yeilin, and Maria are the absolute sweetest and most welcoming hosts. I had so much fun living and working alongside them. The work is not strenuous at all and it was so awesome to learn about all of their sustainable practices. I always looked forward to each meal with them. It was a really great opportunity that I cannot recommend enough!!! Do bring lots to read (a lot of free time)!
