🌿 Welcome to Our Adventure! 🌿

🏠 Your Home in Paradise
We're located in the heart of Nicoya, Guanacaste, Costa Rica - in the Blue Zone where longevity and happiness flourish!

💪 Ready for Real Farm Life?
This isn't your typical backpacker experience! We're building something that requires hands-on dedication. Expect to get your hands dirty, work up a sweat, and tackle genuine farm challenges alongside passionate, self-motivated volunteers. If you thrive on meaningful work and aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves, you'll love it here! 🌟

We offer you a cozy shared apartment among all our volunteers, where each person or couple enjoys their own private room. Our space features:
🛏️ 3 comfortable bedrooms: 1 with a double bed and 2 with single beds
🚿 1 complete bathroom with shower to share
📶 WiFi included to stay connected
⚡ Electricity included
🧺 Washing machine available
🍃 Conscious Eating
Volunteers must have adequate financial means for food purchases - while we share what we can from the farm, we cannot supply enough for your daily nutrition.

What we do provide:
☕ Coffee and basic ingredients (salt, pepper, sugar, oil)
🍞 Good bread when available
Special farm gifts depending on availability:
🥚 Fresh eggs from our happy chickens
🥛 Creamy milk from our loving goats
🥬 Fresh vegetables from our greenhouse
🚗 Adventures and Connections
We frequently travel through Nicoya collecting resources from bakeries and vegetable markets! Take advantage to:
Go shopping
Take the bus or taxi
Explore the region
Just ask us in advance - we'll be delighted to give you a ride when timing fits!

We enjoy together:
🎲 Board game nights
🍽️ Welcome dinner to get to know each other
🏊‍♀️ Swimming pool at the tourist rental (when there are no guests)


Activités et horaires

We expect your energy and dedication for 25-30 hours per week (minimum 5-6 hours daily, 5 days per week). We prefer a minimum of 3 weeks to create genuine bonds and real impact!

⏰ Daily Rhythm
🌅 Morning shift: 7:00-7:30 am start with animal feeding & care, (this, most times includes, carrying heavy food containers and getting dirty) then communal projects until 11:00-11:30am (communal projects may include: repair, building and planting/weed plucking and may extend longer as needed to complete meaningful work)
🌴 Free time: Enjoy your afternoon for rest, exploration, or personal activities
🌇 Evening shift: 5:00-6:00pm for evening animal chores (feeding, inspection, closing all for the night)

✈️ Days Off Flexibility
Before your 2 days off, if you'd like extra time to prepare or to travel for your Days Off adventures, don't hesitate and ask us ! We always want to make things good for our volunteers as well.

🌱 Transformative Activities
Your hands and heart will participate in:
🐾 Loving care of our animals (feeding, hydration, cleaning enclosures and if needed, extra care for animals in need)
🌿 Cultivation and care of plants and vegetables
🔧 Creative maintenance of our spaces (repairs)
🏗️ Construction and improvement projects

Farm life is dynamic - oftentimes unexpected situations arise requiring flexibility and collaborative spirit

💪Please again, note that this is not easy or relaxing work if you aren't in good physical shape or aren't used to physical exercises please understand this will be difficult.
If you have read this, please use "I'm ready to get dirty" in the question asking for the secret code.
