Come to our ecological farm and enjoy Mexico

The experience

The farm is in constant development and there is always something to do; that's why we need caring for the property and it's animals: watering the plants and trees, feeding the chickens and rescue dogs on the property. We also need help trimming fruit trees and other minor projects such as, fencing, moving some materials, organizing tools and cleaning the pond, as well as general cleaning around the property. We love self-driven individuals.

Program Details

There is no compensation for any volunteer work done at La Clemencia. We usually get up at 7 am and start the day with coffee or tea and a snack. Although we only require 5 hours of volunteer work Monday - Friday, we prefer volunteers to cover the first shift so that they can relax and enjoy the rest of the day on the property. Volunteers can enjoy themselves both Saturday and Sunday.

We take trips to the grocery store at least every other day and we take our laundry to the community's dry cleaner's once a week. We provide basic groceries and you're welcome to get your own if you want fancy meals.

We are 20 minutes to Manzanillo and there's a pickup truck and atv onsite. Also, we have 10 loving dogs at La Clemencia and it's their home.

Although bugs don't bother us regularly, please bring your own bug repellent just in case.

Activities & Shift

We work two shifts (8 am-2 pm & 4-6 pm). We have breakfast at 10 am and lunch at 2 pm. Dinner is at 6:30 pm.

Main activities are caring for the plants, trees, the animals and any other ongoing projects. General cleaning and maintenance of the property.

We love team work and we all get involved in all the activities: projects, cooking, feeding animals, etc.

Rules

La Clemencia is constantly expanding, that means there are other workers, even on the weekends, so please don't distract them.
Be respectful of employees, animals and property.
Be a team player and communicate any concerns in a timely manner.
Be punctual, resilient and self driven.
