We are an Educational Institute where students; volunteers; and visitors can learn how a tropical organic farm functions. Individuals can learn how to do things such as milking a cow; harvesting a mango tree; or using medicinal herbs. We give everyone an opportunity to learn about life at its most basic form and exist in a fully sustainable community.
We are happy to receive volunteers; travellers; student groups; families; and environmental interns from abroad. In addition; eco-tourism organizations send groups of volunteers to La Gran Vista every year to participate in the project.
We offer opportunities for undergraduate groups; ASB; graduate students; and researchers to pursue specific interests or field work pertaining to sustainability and organic farming. Students looking to pursue a career in sustainability will have the opportunity to have practical experience that will be invaluable to their future endeavours.
We believe that the best way to preserve our Planet is for everyone to be active and lend a helping hand to Mother Nature. The problems are right in front of us in the forms of greenhouse gases; massive landfills; pesticides in our food; and unclean drinking water. These problems make it EVERYONE’S responsibility to wake up and live a more responsible life. We cannot change the world in a day; but if we all do our part we can change the course of history. So start today and join us in our attempt to create a more sustainable future.
