The experience

My mom (71) and I (43) are curious Montanan's (along with my Texan gf )who wound up across the Atlantic renovating some bungalows on an organic terraced banana farm. The property borders a riberia(stream) and has some beautiful water features. Mostly building renovations with some farming. We are friendly, open-minded, happy, hardworking people that love to cook. We have (mostly) beautiful weather year-round and a stunning view.

Program Details

Various tasks: At the moment there are renovations going on with the bungalows, so it could be any number of construction-related tasks as well as building the outdoor kitchen & gazebo. Once bungalows are finished we will rent them out, thus cleaning when guests leave could be a task. We are trying to plant a ground cover and hope to expand the garden greatly. We also propagate plants as we are trying to do a lot of landscaping for agrotourism.

We have some flexibility with the hours depending on when you wake but plan to work between 9-2 each day so that your afternoons are free.
