Description
Hi, this is a simple Tropical Farming-Living Project about 12km from Mompiche (the beach), where I engage in commercial and self-sustainable activities with the goal to live and work in harmony with Life and Nature. Most activities here are agriculture-based but I am also always improving or repairing infrastructures so building and construction activities are also routine. There is always a lot to get done and its always rewarding and fun to work and experience nature from within.
The Farm is located 80km from Esmeralas,-the city, on the main road ( Ruta Espondylus ) about 12km before Mompiche. Transport there is no problem and takes less than 20min from Mompiche by Bus.
The Farms 20ha embrace;
- Fruit Plantations such as Plantain, Cacao, Banana, Papaya, Passion fruit, coco-nuts and many different
fruit trees.
- Pasture fields.
- Forest.
- Animals Domestic and wild
- Bee hives
- Nice River (Rio Muisne)
- Beautiful landscape with a lively environment full of life and all colored birds...
Life here is a Down-to-Earth experience where you can enjoy the
simplicity of life.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects

Life and Work here is a Down-to-Earth Experience Im sure you will enjoy.

Excellent experience at the farm. Thanks so much to Lukas for allowing me to volunteer for 2 weeks. Work was good honest work, lifting, planting, harvesting, and odd jobs around the house in the evening.
Mompiche on the weekends is ideal. Thanks for what you've taught me Lukas. I'm looking forward to seeing how the guesthouse will work out.
