Volunteering: After a long haitus during the Covid pandemic, we are once again welcoming day volunteers on the farm. Please note this is by appointment only or during work hours posted on our Facebook group. Also we are still practicing social distancing and wearing masks when we are unable to distance properly. We have a lot to do from weeding to planting, potting, harvesting, and cleaning. Most sessions will take place in the afternoon from 2pm to shortly before sunset. Please contact us if you are interested:)
Work Exchange Programs: Please note that we offer two options only for living on the farm style volunteering: internships and apprenticeships, which are 2 months, and 6 months, respectively. If you wish to experience the farm for a shorter term, please check out our economical Farm Stay cabana and camping options. There are no additional discounts for volunteering on the farm (not required for farm stays), but we always appreciate the help and "giving back" to our farming efforts. Thank you!
