This is not your typical volunteer experience; our educational approach will allow volunteers to participate in four workshops on permaculture and the holistic lifestyle that defines our project. Two workshops will focus on key areas of permaculture, and two will cover in-depth knowledge of holistic practices. It is very important to us that volunteers have an enjoyable stay in nature but also take away meaningful knowledge.

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
