Area: Northland

I live in the beautiful Tutukaka coast area on a 10 acres lifestyle block with my two children. I'm still getting established on the property after relocating here a whether board cottage a year ago. There is still a lot of work ahead but I enjoy coming home at night and mostly spending time on the many stunning beaches nearby. I work as a social worker in Whangarei and I'm actively involved in the life of my community. I love good food and cooking and eat mostly organic and locally grown products.

Area: Kurtkoy village, Yalova

We are a British couple living at the edge of a forest village in the mountains, 12 km South of Yalova, which is reached by boat from Istanbul. We have started to create an Organic smallholding, and aim to create a sustainable way of living. You are welcome to take part in our work, to experience living in a small village and to join in with what's going on at the time.. It's a beautifully quiet rural area, close to Termal, the geothermal spa, and also remarkably accessible from Istanbul. Yalova is 1 hr from Bursa (historic city & former Ottoman capital). Bursa has good connections to & from the rest of Turkey. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats and 11 chickens(free range eggs); we're a no-smoking household.

Area: Guanacaste

This is an organic farm and wildlife rescue center in the making, just 1/2 mile from the beach. Tropical Farm Manager needed who’s ready for a challenge. The Farm at the beach in Costa Rica is looking for a long term volunteer! The farm is located in the dry tropics, northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, only ½ mile from the beach and a 5 minute ride to Playas del Coco, the nearest town, and only 35 minutes from the nearest International Airport (Liberia). It is near civilization, tourists, shopping and activities, yet the farm itself is very quiet and secluded in the natural forest full of monkeys and other wildlife. A farm manager is needed to take this mostly raw land ½ mile from the beach, with a few structures and animals and create an organic farm using volunteers to plant and work the land which will feed them, (and you), and the volunteers will in turn care for the monkeys and other wildlife we will be rescuing as this plan is put into action.

Area: Volcano arenal

We are a close community/team working to sustain and provide for the world in the most friendly giving way...The farm technically speaking starts at the bottom of the hill after a stroll through the rainforest and overlooks the large lake and has a direct view of the volcano. The farm has just about every type of fruit tree you can think of as well as vegetables, beans, herbs, coffee.... Recently made, a new lake has been built as we grow another eco system. Lots of building going on right now with the emphasis of using bamboo for all building creations.
