Organic Farm Startup
The experience
Our organic farm has a lake, several fruit trees, yerba mate, bees and cows that will be the heart of our operation (Sorry Vegans). We practice permaculture and do not use chemical herbicides or fertilizers. Our animals eat organically grown plants from within the chacra. Volunteers will be asked to get up early and help with basic tasks around the farm. Afternoons will be completely free to lounge around @Casa_Buena_Vista or explore the area.
