Program Details

You will be working with the crops, making sure the plants are growing in good conditions and weed and pest free. You will be in charge turning the irrigation on and off and you maybe involved in setting up new fields and irrigation. Harvest the crops at appropriate times, keeping an eye on the growth of vegetables, grains and herbs. Other responsibilities include replant any failed crops, grass cutting and field preparation.


Activities & Shift

There are always some challenges to master, something to repair, some fun project to be finishes or started, some new construction to be build. That’s why we don´t count the hours here. At Cataleya you can’t differentiate between doing, eating, swimming, talking, excavating, weeding, building, yoga, workout or simply having to putting out some kind of fire (not literally). It’s all one big huge Cataleya Experience. You´ll see. Once you unplug yourself from your Matrix, you´ll get to know the one I try to live here.

Rules

This Project is still in its early pioneer phase. Every hard (living) working hand is needed and very welcome, but a high degree of independence and work motivation is required.
Please only consider volunteering with us, if you are aware that every beginning has its challenges and always brings a high degree of commitment with it!
As mentioned further up the lines, we actually don`t really consider this as work, we see it as life, that includes eating, cooking, swimming, learning, playing (when my daughter is here), maybe doing some routine for mind or body always comited.
