Stewardship.

As our farm grows, we hope to create opportunities for families, homeschool communities, and worldschooling travelers to learn together through meaningful experiences rooted in the rhythms of the land.

The land at Finca 588

These gatherings won't look like
traditional classrooms.

Children

Children

Children might spend the morning collecting eggs, identifying insects, planting trees, baking bread, or watching the monkeys in the trees.

Parents

Parents

Parents might learn alongside cheesemakers, herbalists, or educators, sharing ideas with other families who value curiosity, craftsmanship, and community.

We're building these experiences
slowly and intentionally.

If you are interested in collaborating, reach out to start the conversation.

Farm
Apprentice

You take the reins. Over six months, you learn to manage the herd, lead the farm workers, oversee planting cycles, and coordinate the monthly butchery. The goal is simple: by the end, you can run Finca 588 while the family takes a break.

No formal experience required. We care far more about mindset than CV. If you're responsible, resourceful, and hungry to learn, we want to meet you.

Life on the finca

Vocational
Vacations.

You wake up early. You feed animals before breakfast. You get your hands in soil and blood and cheese curds. You eat well. You sleep well. You learn things they don't teach anywhere else. And somewhere along the way, you start to understand what it means to reconnect to the land.
