Description
We are a costarican family who lives in a self-sustainable organic paradise. My name is Huber, I have worked in agriculture all my life. 11 years ago a health problem made me realize that the “traditional” way of producing food causes a lot of damage to ecosystems, to the people who produce it and also to those who consume it. So I decided to change our lifestyle to give an example and a better life to my family.
Here we produce our food, and are trying to develop a sustainable tourism business with camping areas, cabins and guided tours of our farm. In general, we want to share our lifestyle and to try to inspire others to live healthy lives in harmony with nature.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a costarican family who lives in a self-sustainable organic paradise. In our farm we produce practically everything we need to live, respecting and protecting the environment and sharing our lifestyle with those who visit us. We dream of inspiring each visitor, so that more and more people are interested in the origin of the food they consume and consider how its production affects the environment.
I've been a farmer my entire life, and love to share with people who are interested in learning to work the land to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Help
We are a family project, so there is always something to do around the farm.
You will be asked to:
1) help me translate farm tours from Spanish to French.
2) help me with the crops
3) making organic fertilizar
4) help me to clean trails
5) help me with taking reservations for the tours
We try to keep it fun and simple; and, as everything in our lives: balanced.
