Lovely smallholding

It was a unique unforgettable experience to stay on this small holding with Donald and Xinia and all the farm animals and pets. They were so friendly, welcoming and fun and kept us well fed! Donald also took us on a trip to meet his family. The location is a rural peaceful setting with an amazing view and there's lots of wildlife around like sloths and butterflies.
There was a variety of tasks to do here depending on the season so it's good if you like to do hands on practical tasks and see how you can run a small holding in a sustainable way. I will always remember this part of my holiday with fondness.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Milking a cow by hand and sorting worms into different sections the composting area! A great way to get to know fellow travellers!
Pros
  • rural and off the beaten track, not too touristy, the real Costa Rica
  • friendly and homely, great good made food
  • a variety of things to do on the site
Cons
  • If you are a solo traveller it is nice to go when other travellers are also there so you have company..
  • There may be a big project for groups to do but worth checking there would be enough to do at that time if you're on your own - depends on how busy you want to be!
