Detalhes

Descrição
We have four kids ages 6, 4, 1, and 1 who need some extra eyes and ears for a few hours each day. We love to play outside in the gardens and go for walks with the wagon. You can also help with projects on the farm in your extra time if you would like.

What else?
* Volunteering schedule is 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week.
* We prefer for volunteers to stay for at least two weeks.
* Volunteers enjoy vegetarian food cooked by the farm's chef. Food is cooked at the main house, with lunch prepared mainly by our cook. Breakfast and dinner foods also provided.
* Volunteers stay in screened-in cabins that are scattered around the farm, which is adjacent to two creeks.
* The farm has a dedicated internet line that is fast and reliable. (Your host works remotely full time with zero issues.)
* The cabins do not have electricity but volunteers can access a power supply at the main house.

We are off the grid but close to the main road with easy access to the busito. 12 miles from the capital city of Belmopan and 40 miles west of Belize City.

Please bring a headlamp. If you want to help on the farm, please bring work boots and clothes accordingly.

Note: This listing is updated significantly from the farm work listing that we posted in 2018—no more roosters or stump removal (unless you want to!).

My experience at A to Z Farm with Allie, Ziggy, Jasmin and the crew could not have been more amazing! This was my first Workaway experience as well as my first solo travel trip, and it exceeded my expectations. The food available was so fresh & nourishing, Jasmin is a wonderful cook.

We really enjoyed our 2-week stay at the farm! The place is very beautiful and peaceful and at the same time it's easy to get around if you want to visit the zoo or national parks. We enjoyed looking after and playing with Ziggy. He is a very sweet and smiley boy. Food made by Jasmin was very delicious! The highlight of our stay was the village… read more

I stayed with them for two weeks. It was a wonderful experience off grid. Everyone at the farm is a amazing. I took care of Ziggy for about 3h/day from 5pm to 8pm, weekends a bit more.
All meals are included and great lunch will be cooked for you.
You'll get a private cabin which has enough space to do some sports in it too. You can cool down… read more

We had a great three weeks at Allie’s, the perfect mix of enjoying the jungle life but also being close enough to the main road to go out and explore Belize on your days off. The cabins are super cozy with lots of space for two people and bathing in the creek was so nice on the extra hot days. The work was rewarding and very reasonable, we already… read more

Staying at Allie's was a wonderful experience. Her property is very off the beaten path and you get to know a tiny Belizean village very well. The work is about 3 hours of childcare per day- Ziggy is perhaps the cutest baby I have ever met in my whole life and a bundle of joy so it's very fun!! You are fed every meal staying there, but a lot of… read more

I really appreciated how flexible and communicative Allie was. I unfortunately had to leave earlier than expected due to some issues back home, but Allie was very understanding. Generally a nice environment to get a lot of reading and computer work done since the WiFi is great. The accommodations were also great with little personal cabins. There… read more

Our stay at Allie and Ray's farm was a great first Workaway experience for us. They have created a tropical oasis in the middle of the bush complete with tranquility, delicious food, and plenty of wildlife to boot. The accommodations were comfortable and we were protected from the bugs at night, although we recommend bringing earplugs because the… read more

I had an awesome time with Allie and Ray! I was at the farm for two weeks and could have happily stayed longer. Everything was so well organized, and both Allie and Ray were very nice and generous. The food was delicious, and the work was enjoyable. It was quite physical, but you can switch activities every couple hours and you will get strong!… read more

We really loved our time at Allie and Ray’s farm. It was so educational to experience what it’s like to live and work off the grid. We are amazed at what Allie and Ray have accomplished in just a few years and we will definitely be thinking of them down the road when we begin our own farm project.

We were really lucky and got to stay in the… read more private cabin for our entire 3.5 weeks. It is an awesome, comfy little structure that kept the bugs away and we even had a little table and fire pit of our own. Allie and Ray have made sure that the farm has everything we need, which was refreshing after a lot of workaways that don’t provide all the essentials. The other volunteers stayed in the main house but they would come over often to cook over the fire and play cards. Getting to know the other volunteers was a huge highlight of the experience.

We loved eating healthy, delicious meals every day and as a cook Eric enjoyed preparing the food on some of the days. Most of our tasks in the kitchen include peeling veggies, picking herbs outside, cleaning dishes, and bringing in new water. I also held the cook’s baby a lot which I loved.

Six days a week we worked at the nursery and I mean WORK. We were responsible for lots of weeding, hoeing, and maintainance around the farm. We also got to bring out the beautiful horse Allie Ray each morning. Although it was definitely hard work and we came home exhausted every day, Allie and Ray both gave us the space and trust to set our own work schedules, and they never questioned our work at all. It felt good to be a part of a team and we had the nursery looking amazing by the time we left.

Our favorite part of the experience was bathing in the river. Lucky for us we arrived at the very beginning of dry season so there was still a healthy river for us to swim in at least once a day. Watch out, the little fish like to nibble you, especially in your armpits!

We also loved gazing up at the incredible blanket of stars every evening. The sights, smells and sounds on the farm are everything you could want from an off-grid experience in Belize.

If you come make sure to set aside time to hang in Belmopan, Harmonyville and Cotton Tree- we loved getting to know the people and had so much fun making new friends. Everyone was so friendly and we felt very welcome and safe.

This was one of our best workaway experiences yet. If you don’t really want to work then this isn’t for you. But if you’re ready to work hard, communicate openly, and have a once in a lifetime experience, we definitely recommend Allie and Ray’s farm.

Ashley and Max were amazing! They brought to our farm a surplus of skill, common sense, hard-working spirit, pleasant company, and interesting conversation. We were sad to see them go, but wish them safe travels in all their adventures. Ashley and Max, you are of course welcome back any time! <3

We spent two weeks there and we loved it.

Alley and Ray are very nice and relaxed personalities. They are very helpful and teached us about the plants and much more.
