Hello, we are a Christian family. Originally from the United states we are now starting an organic farm and Christian outreach and community center here in Costa Rica. Currently we are in the beginning stages of seeking help. The first volunteer we need is some one who has a good understanding of construction and can do repairs on some of the buildings on the property, laying tile, roof repairs, etc and maybe some side help with cutting the grass. In exchange for this help, we will provide a place to live. At this time we can only commit to short term opportunities, a couple of weeks, or one to three months. However we are hoping by Gods grace and provision one day be able to build small places for people to stay. However, our main goal is not to build buildings. We want to build the Kingdom of God. Our hearts desire is to reach the lost, so if you feel lead to evangelize and share the gospel in in Costa Rica we would also love to hear from you. Even if you cannot help with the co...

This is a family owned and run farm that has been producing organic cocoa for over 25 years. Nestled in the secluded village of Mastatal, Costa Rica, this place sits at about 1000 meters above sea level in the lush and rugged tropical environment that is ideal for cocoa cultivation. The work of the farm fluctuates with the weather - the main cocoa harvest taking place during the rainy season (roughly May through November) and the expansion of terrace gardens, bean harvesting, and various other work taking place during the hot, dry summer season (December through April).
