The Experience

We are a small organic farm (1 hectare) growing a ton of variety and advocating health, wellness, and environmental protection. Help us by doing daily farm work - 5hrs/day x 6 days a week. Watering, plant care, sowing, transplanting, mulching, etc. We will supply organic veggies (depending on what's available and excess after CSA harvest) but the rest cooking ingredients will not be provided. A huge kitchen with cookware is at your disposal.

It was a great experience. I learned a lot about how an organic farm works. Thank you all for being so kind and letting me be a part of the farm & Jeans the farm. A piece of my heart stays here. The facilities are clean and comfortable. There are some waterfalls marked on the map nearby, but I recommend not going there because they're gone due to the heavy rains. Thank you, family—I recommend this place 1000%.❤️

I don't even know where to begin. This was my first volunteer experience and I am truly left without words. From the moment that I met with the farm and Jean I was embraced with a warm welcome and kindness. Working on the farm was such an eye opening experience for me, a the farm organic farm at that, being able to see how crops are harvested and help with that process. It's not overbearing as you can work at your own pace. You have an abundance of yummy fruits and vegetables at your disposal, alongside the kindest people ever. The volunteers that I met were so open and genuine.My heart is so full.

I had a wonderful time volunteering at this beautiful farm. Denison and Jean provided such a warm welcome and fascinating insights! you both share such valuable wisdom.

Macel was a joy to work with! Her positive energy and guidance made everyday an adventure. I appreciate the time and effort she took to immerse me into the local community and culture - an experience that has truly expanded my perspective.

Thanks as well to the kindest staff - Ate Abi, Kuya Jun, Sir Derek and the farmers - you all made me feel right at home.

This was such a meaningful and inspiring experience!
