  Description

  We are Paula (mam) and with 2 kids and a little piece of land in Curacavi, a town between Santiago and Valparaiso. Now we're growing native forest inside (chilean acacias, quillay, peumos) with some orchards through natural planting. We eat meat but we don't have problems with vegetarian people. We have a windmill to water the land, a greenhouse for seedlings, organic gardens, a native seeds bank, circular crops under acacias, compost, cats, friendly horses (as our dogs but XXL) and chicken and ducks. We have a natural pool for summer using kinds of reeds to clean the water (no chlorine or chemical stuffs).
  
  We don't have phone or internet but through our own phone we can share internet. In the town (at 7 km.) we have hospital, bank, supermarket, etc.
  
  Accommodation is in a room of our humble cabin. (in stateroom and/on mattresses).
  
  Helps required in sowings, prepare seedbeds, cleaned the henhouse, manage compost, prepare irrigation for plants, maintenance of irrigation system, pruning trees, etc. We have received a lot of volunteers from France, USA, Germany, Canada, Austria; with and without kids. We prefer to speak Spanish.

  Can host digital nomads

  Hola, durante este último tiempo también me tocó trabajar desde casa, entonces, ahora tenemos varios teléfonos con conexión a internet para compartir. La conexión no es perfecta, pero da para ver incluso películas, dado que todas estas plataformas han mejorado mucho en chile... y mis hijos están en clases desde casa... por lo tanto creemos que es perfectamente posible que puedas trabajar desde casa en nuestra parcela...
