Programa detallado
All of us are very passionate about organic, subsistence-scale agriculture, and about making village life in Nepal a financially viable option for young Nepali people.
When you stay with us, you experience the traditional aspects of village life, like traditional farming techniques, village celebrations, home-cooked organic meals, as well as the modern aspect of the projects we are building, like new ways to grow food, generate income without village members having to work in the city or abroad. Our farms are located in Patiswara Village, a Gurung village in southern Gorkha district. We are at 1400m elevation with great views of the Himalayas. Village life here is peaceful, with plenty of interaction with neighbors. We always have a variety of small projects going on at one time, in all seasons.
Actividades & Turnos
Volunteering can be in the fields and everything we do is by hand and may include digging, weeding, cutting back vegetation in the orchards, making seed balls, threshing, harvesting, etc. Work may include helping to build structures, helping to carry mugwort from growing areas to the distilling unit, packaging business products, deshelling coffee, etc. Some of the work is physically demanding, but we don't intend to break our backs or yours! We work at a reasonable pace, and would never ask our volunteers to do more than they feel comfortable. On average, volunteers can expect to work about 4-5 hours per day, but if you would like to do more or less, you can just let us know. We are flexible.
