Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will live in a multicultural family fluent in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese.
Three generations live here.
We include our volunteers in practically all our social interactions with friends and neighbors and we usually eat our two meals a day with the volunteers who share in the cooking and cleaning up.
Generally the volunteers have breakfast on their own in the guest house.
Help
We have been using volunteers for the last 8 years.
Rather recently, we have begun using Workaway.
We look for volunteers who have expertise and experience in organic farming, We are not interested in teaching volunteers about gardening
We want to learn from them. Therefore, the ideal candidate (s) is a mature person with organic gardening experience.
If you are interested in working on our farm, please give us details of your experience working on organic farms or mention other relevant skills such as carpentry, food canning etc.ñ
