L'esperienza

I'm growing an edible forest on a former steep hill farm around my house. We deweed and trim a lot, plant and harvest, practice organic pest control, enhance soil quality, mulch, enjoy the view, help with household chores, relax. I am looking for hard working, nature loving, strong, proactive and independent, quiet people who like a hands-on experience in a beautiful setting and wish to spend time outdoors and in community.

Dettagli del programma

I'll show you all there is, land, plants, tools, will discuss what should be done, teach you along the line more details and techniques, let you work in teams and alone.

Help me prepare the soil, maintain the fruit trees, plant edible crops, collect fruits, cut the grass, clean the fields, come up with ideas or help me realize mine. There is always something to do!

I expect an independent person (couples/friends welcome) who enjoy a simple life and outdoor tasks. The house offers comfort, security, and WiFi. Meals are mostly cooked by me, kitchen helpers welcome.

The three plant-based whole-food meals daily are taken together. Good conversations welcome. No phones at the table.


Attività e turni

Even though the farm is in the mountains it's still in the hot tropics. We work from early in the morning until 11AM and again after 3PM for five to six hours a day. We keep mostly out of the sun between 11AM and 3PM. So expect to work in the morning and in the late afternoon (showering, eating, and relaxing in between) and enjoy leisure time while the sun is too hot and after dinner.
There is NO public transportation. Every 7 to 14 days I might drive to a grocery store where you're welcome to come along. No fridge space for volunteers, sorry, but you can bring non-perishable snacks. No food in the bedrooms. The longer you'll stay, the higher the chance, that you'll get to enjoy a little group outing (a beach day, a ride to San Juan or to a close by nice spot).


Regole

Most of the time there will be other people in the house - volunteers or friends or family who come for a visit. I'll be there most of the time (I am taking care of my mom who lives 90 minutes away, and sometimes have meetings in San Juan and might stay over night or have to take care of other business).
All meals are taken together at approx. 6:30AM, 12:30PM, and 6:30PM.
I cook plant-based whole-food (vegetarian/vegan).
No smoking, no drugs, no noise, no pets.
Be respectful and kind and clean up after yourself.
