Wow! I had the best time here! The family are such wonderful people who are curious about the world and other people. I immediately felt relaxed and nothing was too much bother for them. The work is super easy, a little warm in the heat but they don’t overwork you and you have more than enough time to relax. The finca is in a beautiful spot in the countryside. The food is absolutely delicious! I was able to practice my Spanish a lot at every mealtime, we would have great conversations which really helped me improve! Thank you so much for a wholesome experience! I will miss you!

My 3 friends and I had an amazing time with Shirley, Yeilin and Maria. The experience educated us thoroughly on alternative methods of living through permaculture, with the hosts generously sharing their lifestyle with us.
The task we were set was incredibly enjoyable and fulfilling but not too demanding and the hosts were very flexible. Instructions could have provided with a little more precision, but this was a negligible downside. Everything else was excellent.
Many thanks for hosting us; we would highly recommend 🙌🏽

My stayat the farm with Shirley, Yeilin and Maria was unforgettable. They welcomed me with such warmth and made me feel truly valued. Their compassion and fun spirit made every day special.
I loved being part of farm life-helping build a garden, painting rocks and even spotting the biggest bullfrog I’ve ever seen. A highlight was visiting Turrialba with Shirley, running errands, and meeting her family.and
The conversations at every meal were full of laughter and connection.
This was more than a stay—it was life-changing, and I leave with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

My experience with Shirley, Yeilin, and Maria was incredible. They are extremely kind, caring, and wise women and really welcomed me into their family. We ate every meal together and learned so much about each other and our different cultures; They truly want to connect with and learn from each of their volunteers. I got to practice my Spanish and experience Costa Rican life in an authentic way. Life here was calm, relaxing, and rejuvenating. The jobs were fun and I learned a lot from them! The week flew by and I wish I could've stayed longer (I had other plans). Thanks so much <3

This place and the family were amazing. From the first minute they welcome you with open hearts and help you with everything. There is always something to do on the Farm so you don't get bored, and there is a great variety of tasks. You realy get the feeling to be part of the family, and they also will show you a lot about sustainability and the environment.

Simply incredible! I immediately felt at home, such a warm and pleasant welcome!
As for the work, there's nothing to say, trust reigns supreme and everyone listens to each other with the sole aim of getting things done.
This little family and all their animals are adorable, there's never a dull moment with them! 😁 I recommend anyone passing through here to come and meet them and discover their exciting world! I'll be back without hesitation.

This trip was so life giving!! the hosts were absolutely amazing, costa rica is so beautiful, and the farm is such a restorative environment. every time we sat down for a meal we shared all about our cultures, lives, and heard/told too many stories to count. we shared endless belly laughs throughout the week. the community, the place, and the experiences, along with all the things we learned were definitely one for the books. i totally recommend the farm for your next trip!!!
