I spent my first WWOOFing experience at Tilika’s farm, and she made sure it became an amazing first experience from start to finish. I felt warmly welcomed from the very first day, and that feeling stayed throughout my entire stay. I would describe Tilika’s farm as a modern and young farm with innovative agricultural concepts. It was a pleasure to support Tilika and the team in bringing their ideas to life. I was able to take part in many varied tasks, such as cleaning the barn, sowing vegetables, and repairing fences, which made the experience not only enjoyable but also a great opportunity to learn maaaany new things. The whole family, the animals and the entire farm team definitely has a special place in my heart! :-)

After a 30-minute mototaxi ride from town with Adolfo into the middle of nowhere, I arrived at Marcela and Terry’s beautiful El Rancho Farm. From the first moment, I felt truly welcomed. What followed was a very enriching WWOOF experience. Marcela puts so much care into everything: providing a cozy room, reusable water bottles, teaching and a warm atmosphere. Three times a day we enjoyed fresh delicious food with vegetables, fruit, eggs, and dairy, (always meat-free options). Marcela welcomes any helping hand in the kitchen and you can learn how to make Colombian food like pan de yuca or arepas. Living with up to three WWOOFers, we quickly became a team. Days began at 6 a.m. and tasks ranged from planting and pruning trees to making cheese, composting, harvesting cacao, and building or painting fences. Felipe and Alirior, the farm‘s two permanent workers occasionally need a helping hand. Meals, especially breakfast at 8 a.m., were calm and social. After finishing work at 3 p.m., we relaxed by the pool, explored trails, or helped Terry with his puzzle. After sunset, you’re glad to escape the mosquitoes indoors. Little traditions made it even more special: movie nights on Fridays, hikes to the nearby village for ice cream, and the simple joy of feeding chickens and collecting eggs. These two weeks taught me so much. I leave with wonderful memories and hope to return one day.

Ich hatte einen wunderschönen Monat auf der Gemüsefarm! Ich wurde sofort offen aufgenommen und hatte das Gefühl immer willkommen zu sein. Ein sehr herziges und kompetentes Gartenteam :)

Tatiana & Thomas gifted us 10 days full of great experiences and impressions! They both are really respectful and friendly. The lunch Tatiana cooked and the drinks she prepared for us were so delicious! During the days with them we got to know a lot of cultural and region-specific insights from them. Most of all we appreciate their heart to offer experiences! E.g. we got connected to their neighbour (to be able to work there for two days as well), wonderful places at the river and great waterfalls were shown to us and we did a great trip on easter-sunday all together. Danke für all das!! :) The area of Tatiana & Thomas is very lovely and the animals are as well. We enjoyed camping in the nature and the instruction works with Thomas in the mornings.

Our stay at CAO was incredible. We loved working with the boys and Evelin, they were so welcoming and we made some great friendships with them! We learned a ton from them and got to help with a variety of different tasks on the farm from taking care of the animals to helping with the soil, pruning, the garden etcetera. The room was exceptional and food was great, we would love to come back - especially to see or volunteer at the students own farms. Glen and Evelin were great hosts and it was great to hear their stories and we admire their leadership & mentorship.
