I really enjoyed my time here, it's been nice to disconnect from the world for a bit and spend time in nature. The work was relaxed and the living conditions were good. Plenty of food and snacks available at all times. I don't think the low rating is justified.
Like with anywhere there can be miscommunications at times, but these can be resolved as Oscar and Beth are open, caring and passionate.
I do understand the farm isn't for everyone but go there with an open mind and enjoy your time.

My time at the farm was incredible and genuinely changed me. I was nervous after reading reviews about no food, but they weren't even remotely true, I was never hungry as fresh eggs, meals, and farm greens were a constant. The animals, especially the goats and the wonderful farm dogs, made it even more special. This is a working farm, so respect definitely matters, meaning you should ask and not assume. Yes, there can be tension, but it comes from people juggling a lot and caring so deeply. If you're open, hardworking and embrace the experience, I absolutely recommend, it will stay with you :)

I had a really meaningful and positive experience at the farm. The space was beautiful, peaceful, and very connected to nature. It was honestly a great place to slow down, learn new skills, and contribute to something community-focused. The host was honest about expectations and what is provided, such as food staples and community living. If you are looking for a more tourist-style experience and aren't down for living and working in close proximity to others, this experience might not be for you. 10/10 frogs ๐Ÿธ

I've had a great experience volunteering here in Vieques and even decided to extend my stay because I enjoyed it so much. The work was very interesting and varied, with lots of different hands on projects. The farm itself is beautiful with lots animals, tropical fruit, and an impressive solar system that makes the project feel very unique. The hosts clearly care a lot about the Farm and the volunteers. They were respectful of the agreed work schedule, flexible with days off and always made sure we were well fed and had what we needed.

The experience had some positive aspects, but it did not fully match the description on the platform. The host was not present during my stay, and the experience was managed by the manager. Communication and interpersonal dynamics were often difficult, which made the environment feel tense rather than collaborative. Expectations around tasks were not always clear, and the place in general was not clean. Benefits stated (like food) could be improved to better support volunteers.
