Description
Our small family farm in the mountains of northern El Salvador is a humble attempt to discover ways to live closer to the land and to our local community. We have had the privilege to learn from indigenous communities and other rooted, agrarian peoples from around Central America, and the development of our farm is motivated by the ethics of indigenous rootedness to territory.
We also run a small eco-tourism business where we rent out cabins to mostly local tourists from the urban areas of El Salvador.
For 2026, the focus of our volunteer program will be the following:
1) FARMING: We manage three pieces of land, and there is always ongoing work where we grow peaches, chachafruto, macadamia nuts, coffee, malanga, a variety of vegetables and beans, and also raise sheep, geese, rabbits, and chickens. We process the majority of our production into ferments, conserves, and other products both for our own consumption and for local sale, and depending on the season, there may be work for people interested in those issues of food preservation. There are also always daily farm chores to do, and we enjoy hosting people interested in permaculture, agro-forestry, sustainable land management, etc. Specifically for 2026, we will be working on diversifying our coffee farm by clearing and re-planting for a diversified food forest of breadfruit, jackfruit, pacaya palm, and other tropical fruit species. We also are planting out a flower farm on a forested piece of land where we have a few cabins for rent.
2) BUILDING: There may be opportunities to do some natural construction as we work on building a small store/roadside stand for our farm products. We focus on earthen building techniques such as wattle and daub.
3) HOUSE SITTING: In August/September of 2026 we will have to be away from the farm for about 3 weeks for a family commitment. We are looking for volunteers to look after our home and the farm animals while we are away during that time.
We are located at about 2,100 meters (about 7,000 feet) on the slopes of Cerro El Pital, El Salvador´s highest mountain. The climate is pleasantly cool in the evenings and warm during the days with an average temperature of 10-20 degrees C, though it can get considerably cooler and windy during December-Feburary. We are not a tropical climate, and if the cold weather inconveniences you, this is probably not a good place for you to visit.
Due to a few unfortunate encounters with volunteers over the past couple of years, we feel it necessary to mention that we are NOT able to host volunteers who simply are looking for free lodging or free meals. If you´re not sincerely interested in the type of work described above, please don´t contact us as we are NOT a volunteer option for people only looking to offer minimal work in exchange for free lodging.
In terms of accommodation, we offer shared, lodging in one of our earthen/wood cabins, though you may have to change cabins during your stay depending on rentals. We also offer home-cooked breakfast and lunch from Monday-Friday. We are not a "professional" hotel or hostel, and ask all our volunteers to participate in the shared activity of preparing meals with our family.
We also do not have Wi-fi on our farm. Volunteers can purchase a TIGO OR CLARO SIM card in town ($1) and have access to decent internet on the farm through their own phones or computers.
Lastly, we are always open to hosting the right volunteer for longer periods of time through a type of apprenticeship program on the farm. Ideally, we are looking for people interested in permaculture/agroecology/natural farming who would be willing to come and work with us for 3-6 months.

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Dan and Yachi for about a month here on our farm. They were very helpful in any task we were involved in during the day and also took care of the farm animals for a few days when we were away from the farm.
Both of them are easygoing, hardworking, and great people.

We had a great experience for our first Workaway. Tobias and Jasmine (and Gabby!) were great hosts, making us feel part of the family. We learned lots about natural building techniques and helped to build and paint a wattle and daub barn for their animals. We also made some promotional videos for their website and gained experience with… read more

It was great hosting Sebastian for a week or so here on our farm. He was more than patient with our little girl Gaby and did a great job helping us get started on building a small barn for some animals. He´s a great guy and we´d highly recommend him!

This was such a great exp in how the everyday life at a organic farm is! Toby, Yasmin and three year old Gabby is such a lovely family that you quickly become part off.
I helped Tobi out with different tasks around the farm, plowing the quinoa field, tileing a kitchen, building the groundwork for a new barn.

This was my first workaway experience. I spent one week helping Tobi and Yasmin with little Gabi. We were painting cop with lime, painting apricot trees and made beds for the guest house. It was a very interesting experience and a lovely family. I wish them good luck with the project.

We had an absolute great time hosting Ali and Jordan. They were wonderful guests, hard workers, good friends, and were super loving to our daughter! They also helped us get our tourism coop off the ground and worked harder than they should have during the constant rains to help us get started with what we hope will be a successful tourism… read more

We had an incredible 10 day WorkAway experience with Toby, Yasmin, the adorable Gabby, and of course, Shiny (the cat) in the clouds of El Pital. We can't say enough about this awesome family- we felt at home from the minute we arrived and we were treated as family throughout our stay. We miss them already! It is so impressive what they've done… read more

It was great hosting Erika for a couple weeks here in El Salvador. She was a great house companion and eager worker, and we appreciated all of her knowledge related to natural building from her vast array of experience travelling the world. Highly recommended!

I had a great time staying with Tobias and Yasmin on their farm. They are both friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable people and I learned a lot during my stay. The location is beautiful and it was interesting to see how cob houses and tourism can be a way improve lives in the village. Thanks for everything and good luck with the project!

The experience with Tobi, Yas and little Gaby was simply unforgettable. I felt right at home. I was free to use the kitchen and their natural products and for an Italian this is vital. I never did the same job for two consecutive days. Toby is a worker with incredible strength, Yas is an adorable mother and has great conversations, both have great… read more

Probably the best cook in the world, along with a hard worker and good friend. If Monty comes to visit you, make sure he makes you pizza!

Really fantastic experience.
I have only had one previous workaway experience, around 5 years ago, and I did not think it was positive overall. I decided to try again, and am glad I did.
I don't think I have ever used the word inspiration to describe anyone, but that's definitely what I will take away from my experience with Toby and Jasmine.… read more
