Descripción
We are Americans in Belize for 5 years. Our farm is located in the lovely village of Big Falls in the Toledo district of Belize. We are a couple with a sweet and energetic 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old boy. We are seeking a mother’s helper as well as a farm hand. If your skills overlap that’s awesome too! We are open to families with children, groups of friends, couples, or solo travelers. We are seeking like minded individuals to join us and help us, so here is a bit about us. Please reach out if you feel a resonance!
We love to prepare delicious meals and we eat as clean as possible, we are into permaculture, music and art, yoga and mindfulness. We are learning about tending to a tropical permaculture farm as we go and it’s really fun and interesting! We care deeply for the earth and are honored to be able to tend to this land. We are particular about use of anything chemical on our farm, so please do your best to bring all natural toiletries and products.
Currently eating from our farm: coconuts, plantain, banana, cassava, chaya, papaya, turmeric, coco yam, bilimbi, pineapple, pumpkin, limes, greens and herbs. Many of our trees are fairly young, so what’s not bearing yet we buy from other excellent organic farmers in the area.
We are 420 Friendly, hard working and motivated, but time for creativity and relaxation is also a part of each day.
Please no chemical tobacco smokers, we would consider light organic tobacco users ( if smoke is far away from the children), please no heavy drinkers.
We have a German Sherpard named Kasha. She barks a lot at everyone which can be annoying, but she’s very sweet. We also have a flock of chickens for eggs and meat.
Punta Gorda Town is a 30 minute drive or
45 minute bus ride away. There is a lot to explore in Toledo district and we encourage some days off. Occasionally we are up for excursions with our guests in the area if you want to pitch in for gas!
We have high speed internet in our common areas and we usually shut it off between 9pm-7am.

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Ellis)

I loved having Ellis be a part of my family and home for 12 days. She blended right in and was so helpful and considerate. My kids adored her and I appreciated her time spent with them indoor reading books or making art and outside exploring and even making creative projects with plants (like flower crowns). She and I shared common ground both… read more

From our first few messages to video chatting with Jordan and Xavi on her lap, I knew this was meant to be my first workaway experience. As a budding solo-female traveler, feeling safe is extremely important to me. Jordan answered all of my questions and concerns with the grace only a mother can offer (on top of that someone who has traveled… read more extensively herself in this region.) On the first day, I was greeted by a family. Jordan’s warmth, Mila’s passion, Xavi’s curiosity, Will’s quiet reflection.

It took me perhaps a week to reframe my mindset from “work,” to “life.” Being here means being a part of the daily rhythms. Stepping into a family. Sharing meals together, stretching, crafting with the children, washing dishes, opening up some garden beds for new life to be planted… You still have your own sleeping space, which is gorgeous and supportive to have a sense of separation. The days stretch long and comfortably. One of my favorite rituals became going on long walks with Xavi before dinnertime. There is so much sweetness to be discovered if you are willing to slow down for it. During my 12 day stay, I left the remote property once. This may be challenging for some. However, if you’re willing to lean into this disconnecting from usual society/life, you may be surprised to see all that connects in turn. I felt my entire nervous system settle during my stay, there was space to process, heal, and grieve much on my heart.

The land is engulfing, teeming with life and wonder. Truly, permaculture in practice, a food forest nestled within a larger ecosystem. I would rise early in the mornings for a cool shower to begin my day outside, bare and taking in jungle symphony… Jordan is a brilliant chef. Each meal prepared was made with unending love and nutritionally dense. Locally made tortillas, eggs laid on the land, forged fruits and greens from the land, homemade coconut milk (which I learned how to make with Will.) The children are delights and will likely surprise you. Wonderfully creative, kind, intelligent, and playful. Be present with them. I also enjoyed connected with the two local women who help at the property and grew up in nearby villages.

All in all, I am deeply grateful for this experience. I would recommend a visit to anyone who is willing to surrender into the experience of slowness and connection. This is a remote property and you should plan accordingly. The ants are hell here and in the rest of the jungle. Wear shoes and cover up or simply stay indoors at dusk and dawn. Clearly communicate if you have needs during the day and flexibility will always be offered. Ask questions! About the plants, meals, hikes nearby, practices on the land. This is a great space to learn. And, if you have ideas for projects, I'm sure the family is open to hearing them.

All my love, thank you for giving me a home away from home! I hope to return soon.

Roland and Olivia were so wonderful to host. I really appreciated their way of communication with us and my kids as well as with each other. They brought a really nice energy into our home and our kids loved them so much that my son started calling Olivia, Tia (aunty). These two will jump into any task asked of them and are eager to help and… read more

We had a lovely time staying with Jordan, Will, and their awesome children! The property is a great place to unwind and learn new things, especially authentic Belizian dishes! The guesthouse was an absolute luxery. The kids are easy going, open, and very fun to play and learn with. From a work perspective, Jordan and Will are great at utilizing… read more

Steve and Adeva are an awesome couple. We got along so well and they were so loving and fun with my kids. They are also great at farm work and take instructions well and ask questions when needed. I’d recommend anyone to host them. The 3 weeks they spent here was so nice and I’d have them back anytime.

Staying with Jordan and Will was like staying with old friends. Milah and Xavi (their children) were great to be around, if not too excited at times.

Maybe we all just have similar personalities, but everything was really smooth. We worked a good amount on the land, took breaks when we needed, spent time with the kids, cooked when we could, and… read more

I can’t say enough good things about Leeloo. We were immediately comfortable with her in our home and with our kids. She is loving, kind, respectful, hardworking and creative. She’ll gladly play her beautiful accordion for you. You’re in for a real treat. I honestly would have loved her to stay longer and would have her back any time! You won’t be… read more

I had a great time with Jordan, Will, and their lovely kids Kamilah and Xavi. We had a very similar way of thinking and seeing life, and I really appreciated our talks and discovering this alternative living.
They live in a beautiful remote place, perfect to connect with nature.

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (Koyena)

We loved hosting Koyena on our family farm. She really brings the warmth and love of her Indian culture into the home.. from her cooking, to her tender way with children, to her dedication to any tasks at hand. She stayed with us for 3 weeks and we wished it was longer! I’d recommend anyone to host her.

I couldn't be more happy about reaching out to Jordan as my first ever workaway host! I felt very welcome from the second I arrived and fell in love with the place and Jordan's tacos & kombucha from the first bite and sip. The "first time" nervousness quickly went over to even more excitement than I had before arriving after a fast but clear… read more

the property and the family are very lovely. the food they prepare is great and there are also locals who come in to help on the farm who are very interesting to chat with. something that isn't clear in the description is the shower is in an open area beside the house, so not for people who prefer privacy. and the hot water can be spotty, which is… read more
