Om programmet

One of our main intentions with this program is to improve the Spanish language skills through real and conversational language practice on a daily basis.  

Because this is part of our volunteer learning program, we would be also doing field tasks at the nursery, composting center, harvesting, gardens and terraces tasks, (bio)construction projects and bio-factory. 

Community kitchen rotation: Cooking 2-4 times a week (Mon-Fri), breakfast or lunch for the rest of the team. You will do it on your own or with a partner. 

During the afternoons we would be having free and personal time. We would also have some home tasks, such as house weekly general cleaning, house recycling, ferments and nonalcoholic brews making. 

Once a week we have a community wellness activity that we decide in collective during our weekly planning meeting. It could be yoga, dancing, magical passes, documentary or movie night, etc. 

This program also includes a Spanish lesson once a week, as well as daily accompaniment on your language acquisition. At the end of your stay, you will present a short project on your Spanish improvement. 
 
Every Friday we have as a check-in word circle, to share about our state of being, feelings and needs, according to compassionate communication principals. We like to make sure that we’re co-creating a safe space from a holistic perspective. 

The land is located at 1,200 m a.s.l. This is why we may either have sunny days, as well as rainy and cool ones. We’re surrounded by a wonderful diversity in flora and fauna. You can expect to see an interesting variety of birds, bugs, spiders, scorpions, snakes and some wild mammals.

We usually visit a local attraction (waterfall, hot springs, hiking) once a month.




Typisk dag

We wake up with the sunlight! : ) Since we do meals rotation, the people in charge of breakfast on that day should be up at 5:30 a.m. at the kitchen. So that we all could eat at 6:30 a.m.

This would be our weekly general schedule for morning tasks:

  • Tuesday- Vegetable gardens: weeding, mulching, planting, harvesting, pruning, open new beds
  • Wednesday- Edible Forest: weeding, mulching, planting, harvesting, pruning, open new beds
  • Thursday- “The Everything Day”: we do tasks of different areas of the farm
  • Friday- Bioconstruction: depending on the project, we could be working with bamboo, volcanic rocks, clay and more!

During the morning we have a short break to have a fruit snack, and off course, water! 


There is also a different team every day (Mon-Fri) to cook lunch. We all eat at 1:00 p.m

 

Afternoon is free time in general, but we could also do some home tasks like a brew making, ferments, weekly cleaning task, or our wellness activity.

 

Weekends are free time.

We have a chill/co-working space in which you could spend indoor time with other volunteers or on your own. You could have some music jamming, table games, reading a book, writing, painting, personal computer work.

Having a Spanish personal time to study is highly recommended during afternoons or evenings. We have some cool books at our home library, or just having spontaneous conversational time.

Some other experiences around are a visit to Irazú Volcano, Guayabo Archeological monument, Lankester Botanical Garden, Cartago Municipal Museum, Cartago Basilica, the Ruins, Local markets. You could also plan on going further away, like planning a trip to the beach.

Om projektet

Finca Sol y Valle is a place in which people from all over the world can come and have a practical learning experience in a community based, permaculture lifestyle.

¡Hola! Hi! Salut ! Oi! Ciao!

Welcome to our farm!
We're a community of people co-creating a more sustainable lifestyle, in harmony with nature.
More than half of the farm is a protected secondary forest with 50+ year old trees - a breath of fresh air in the heart of Costa Rica's deforested agricultural region. Other areas on the property include a bamboo forest for construction needs, a food forest with over 100 fruit trees, extensive organic gardens for personal consumption, and several bioconstruction projects. The project serves as an sustainable model contrasting with the chemical-based farms nearby.

Finca Sol y Valle was a fantastic experience. From learning about all the flora and fauna, to being able to work with the earth, to learning about the natural cycles of the earth and growing spiritually, Sol y valle was definitely the right choice for me. The systems they have in place are simple ...
Jeff and Anamor were great hosts that treated everyone with a lot of respect and compassion. Finca Sol y Valle is beautiful place with great community and worldly ...
Our 2-week stay was great, it was over to fast. We felt really welcome and we liked all involved people: the hosts and the people working there (eg the other volunteers and the dog 😊). The tasks changed daily, we were involved in gardening, planting, construction and cooking, all of them ...
