I had three nice weeks at the farm. I immediately felt at home when I arrived. Everyone is súper friendly and welcome you with such nice vibes. The team organise a lot of activities to make you discover the area and the culture, which is amazing ! They always will be there to help you with anything you need/would like to do. I learned a lot about plants, typical food, improve my Spanish and was very happy to have the opportunity of painting a mural and learn how to cook tamales ! Just make sure to come with sunscreen, earplugs and repellent. Gracias a todos !!!

We spent two unforgettable weeks volunteering at the farm, and it quickly became a home away from home. This beautiful place, tucked deep in nature, allowed us to truly reconnect with the world around us. Life here is simple – cold showers and basic buildings – but that's part of its charm. It's an authentic, grounding experience that teaches you so much about nature, sustainable living, and yourself. The peaceful surroundings and the kindness of the people made our stay truly special. We leave with full hearts, lasting memories, and so much gratitude for this magical place.

I had a great time at the farm! Fany and everyone else on the farm are very welcoming, and the agreed upon hours are always respected. The month I spent here was wonderful for cultural immersion, I experienced life with locals in the mountains of Costa Rica, and learned plenty of Spanish along the way!

We spent a month at the farm and loved it! We felt safe and secure. Fanny and Alex welcomed us warmly. Even with limited Spanish, they took time to chat and show us around, helping us discover Costa Rican culture. The workers were also very friendly. We learned a lot, from working in the soil and in the kitchen (thanks, Lenny!). We recommend some basic Spanish skills for a smoother experience. If you love nature and want to dive into Tica culture, this is the place for you. Thank you for welcoming us. :)
