Finca La Arabia

Volunteers benefit from the shared knowledge and experience of the program coordinators, workshop presenters, local partners, and other volunteers that come to share and grow.

The mission is to serve as a source of inspiration and conscious collaboration to further the betterment of humanity, and our connection to the Earth.

We achieve this through living off the land, and in alignment with the rhythm of nature, and providing outlets for residents and guests to learn and grow through educational events, festivals, retreats and intentional media.

We want to create a working process system for development of sustainable communities that can serve as a duplicatable template for budding land projects worldwide.

We have a "Homestead Handbook" that will be sent upon approval, and before arrival with more details and the house agreement, values, mission, etc. for any volunteers to read before they decide to make the trip here.

The goal is to have almost all of the practical and physical components necessary to operate the homestead, within the document above. It is to be laminated, taken care of superbly, and readily available at the community bulletin board for any and all residents, members, volunteers, and guests.

Our experience was just amazing in the farm, the team was super cool and super fun ! It was a great opportunity to learn a new skill for us (bamboo construction) and to share with locals about culture and a conscious lifestyle in nature. Thank you Davis and Skye for welcoming us into this magical experience <3

It was a pleasure to have you and Raphaël as the final two volunteers under my management at Finca Arabia. The energy you brought is exactly what made this place special.

The last day was bittersweet.. saying bye to amazing humans like you while also closing this chapter... but I'm so grateful you got to experience a taste of the magic that genuine community can offer.

Please stay in touch. I'd love to welcome you both into future projects when the time is right.

We had an amazing time volunteering at this finca! Working on the bamboo house construction was such a rewarding and unique experience. You really get to learn by doing, and it feels great to contribute to a hands-on project like this.
The place itself is absolute paradise — surrounded by the lush jungle, peaceful, and incredibly quiet. It’s the perfect spot if you want to disconnect and reconnect with nature.

On top of that, the hosts and the people I met there were unbelievably kind and welcoming from day one. I felt right at home immediately.

Thank you for everything Finca Arabiaaa !

Nuestra experiencia en este lugar fue realmente especial. Estar en medio de la naturaleza nos permitió desconectar del ritmo acelerado de la vida cotidiana y reconectar con lo esencial. Fuimos acogidas con mucha calidez y tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer de cerca un proyecto ecosostenible auténtico, donde cada detalle refleja un profundo respeto por el entorno. Nos llevamos no solo recuerdos hermosos, sino también una nueva inspiración sobre cómo vivir de manera más consciente y en armonía con la naturaleza. ¡Gracias por compartir este rincón tan especial con nosotras

Tierra Fresca is not just a place to practice and learn about sustainable living -- it's a place where the volunteers, organizers, and locals share a community dedicated to strengthening the bond between people and their environment. During my time here, not only did I form a connection with the surrounding jungle that had physical benefits on my health, but I also learned just how easy it is to get along with people from around the world. The staff at Tierra Fresca is incredibly generous, fun, and committed to their work, and they made my stay as comfortable as I could have imagined.

My time at Tierra Fresca was, without a doubt, the most meaningful and incredible few weeks of my life. The land and wildlife were abundant and absolutely stunning, but the community and leaders of the program exceeded every expectation. Not only do I now have a home away from home, but a second family that embraced me with open arms and hearts. I will be forever thankful for this opportunity, and highly recommend Tierra Fresca to anyone seeking an eye opening experience immersed in nature. I left Guatemala at peace, and am already planning my next journey back to the farm❤️
