​Three hours of your time in exchange for fresh veggies!

Caoba Farms accepts volunteers daily. We ask for three hours of work, and in exchange for that, we provide you with a bag of fresh, organic vegetables grown on the farm.

​We expect you at 9am, and daily opportunities in the garden include weeding, harvesting seeds, turning compost, planting seedlings (Wednesdays), filling bags with soil, and cleaning animals yards. We also have a special projects to-do list--things like painting, cleaning, organizing--each week for volunteers.

​If you are interested to volunteer for a longer period of time, please get in touch with us so that we can plan it out. See the detailed schedule below for the daily volunteer tasks.

Reviews

“We are here for one month, as volunteers. We work minimum 3 hours a day and get a really nice bag of organic vegetables as payment for our work. Alex, the owner, runs the 3 farms and has given us a good start at his farm. He even helped us with a nice place to stay in Antigua. Only 15 min a way from the farm. The farm is full of friendly workers ( locals and other volunteers) the vibe is good and peace full. They give tours on the farm and they also have a well equipped store with there own organic things from the farm. We are really looking forward to spend a whole month here with these guys.”

“This farm is a local gem if you want to go and learn about organic agriculture. The staff was very friendly and patient. They even gave me a bag of free organic veggies once I was done with my day of work. Will definitely return! The views in every direction are magnificent! Worth your money and time!”
