Live and help on an ecological and solar-powered farm near Monteverde, Costa Rica

  Descripción

  We are an organic place where you can live with a zero carbon footprint — a place created to care for nature, animals, and plants.
  Nestled deep in the tropical Costa Rican cloud rainforest, our off-grid farm is on the road to becoming self-sufficient and fully disconnected from the modern world 🌎. The nearest town is 7 km away, and all our energy comes from the sun and the wind. Our dream is to nurture and grow a vast forest, giving back to the land that sustains us.
  
  We’re a Costa Rican family carrying forward a local ecological project that supports a real movement in favor of nature 🌿. My parents have lived in this area for more than 50 years, and here, everyone is either a friend or family.
  
  We currently have an open position for two people, available from Jan 30th to Feb 15th🌍. If you meet the qualifications, please write to me!
  
  Our place is a living, evolving family dream — and we’d love for you to be part of it.
  
  We’re looking for two Eco Admin Workawayers to help with the day-to-day organisation of our project — a mix of light administrative tasks, helping with the farm, and caring for our friendly pets (3 beagles, two cats and 4 chickens). You’ll help keep our small community running efficiently while enjoying life in a peaceful, nature-rich environment.
  
  🌿What You’ll Do
  -🌱 Work on the organic and regenerative farm
  -Help with planting, composting, soil regeneration, natural fertilization, and general farm care using sustainable practices.
  -Support small construction or improvement projects using natural, recycled, or low-impact materials.
  -Experience conscious water and energy use, waste reduction, and low-impact living while surrounded by nature.
  -Care for our lovely pets (feeding, cuddles, walks, and making sure they’re happy and safe)
  -After 5 days, you have 2 free days to explore, rest, or simply enjoy nature 🌄
  
  🧡 We’re Looking For
  
  -Responsible, friendly, and organised couple of volunteers.
  -Love for animals and nature, including cooking on fire.
  -Good communication skills, proactivity and a strong work-ethic.
  -Adaptable to off-grid, eco-living environments
  -Intermediate level of Spanish/English (interview)
  
  🌻 What You’ll Gain
  
  -First-hand experience in eco-project administration in a rural and isolated solar farm in Costa Rica. Live as a local.
  -At least two weeks living sustainably on a 100% solar-powered farm. You´ll have a beautiful private cabin (The Office) and view (Gulf of Nicoya, CR Central Pacific).
  -Learning about off-grid systems, permaculture, animals, plants and local wisdom.
  -Be introduced to all our local friends to live as a local ;)
  -After 5 days, you have two free days, feel free to relax or explore nearby natural spots ;)
  -The chance to contribute to a real regenerative local community project.

  Alojamiento

  The chosen couple of people will be hosted in our beautiful, handmade cabin for volunteers. You have the opportunity to stay for free in exchange for some hours of collaboration. We will provide free accommodation and access to all our facilities.
  This tiny house, called “The Office,” is powered by a handcrafted solar system that provides clean energy to charge your phone and other USB devices. Inside and outside, you’ll find LED lighting, a cozy wood-fired kitchen, and a rainwater collection system that supplies your water — all designed for sustainable living.
  For logistical reasons, we are including basic raw food in this offering (Rice, beans, local coffee, oil, bananas, spices, oats, salt, sugar). You are in charge of cooking with your own special touch and bringing your own flavours to life :). We also have seasonal tropical fruits/veg (coconuts, bananas, sugar cane, guavas, mangoes, coffee and/or avocados) available to volunteers on the farm.
  You´ll have a full kitchen with a wood-burning stove and an area to prepare your meals, along with an open deck for yoga, meditation, or just enjoying the beautiful view from the hammock available.
