Program Details

I'm looking for female volunteers (this is a space ONLY FOR WOMEN) with a good attitude, responsible and punctual, eager to learn (no experience needed).

I offer 3 daily meals, accommodation in a private or shared room, wifi and a friendly and trustworthy environment. I do not include personal hygiene items (only toilet paper). Pets are welcome 🐾.

I only accept female volunteers, as I am a young woman who leads the farm as a safe place and a space of sisterhood. I can also issue a certificate if you need it.

I hope you take care of your space, the farm and contribute with respect and good energy.


Activities & Shift

The day starts at 8:00 am by feeding the animals, continues at 10:00 am with activities as needed (care of cacao or the animals), and ends at 5:00 pm with the second feeding. (Approximately 4 hours of work per day). Some days you will also participate in artisanal chocolate making 🍫.

Meals are at 7:00 am (breakfast), 12:00 pm (lunch) and 6:00 pm (afternoon snack).


Rules

The farm aims to maintain a respectful, calm and trustworthy environment for everyone 🌿

* Punctuality in work and meal times.
* Maintain a positive, respectful and collaborative attitude.
* Take care of the cleanliness and order of the room and shared spaces.
* Respect the animals and treat them with affection.
* Give advance notice if you cannot fulfill any activity.
* Responsible use of water, energy and the farm's resources.
* Excessive consumption of alcohol or drug use is not allowed.
* Respect rest times and the tranquility of the place.
* Open communication in case of any doubt or discomfort.

This is a space of coexistence, learning and mutual respect.
