Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The farm is a great place for cultural exchange as we welcome diversity in our visitors while interacting with the local community.
We are a family owned farm. We are artists who aim to create beautiful and functional spaces with a strong focus on art and design on everything we do. We look forward to sharing our vision and to welcoming others to share and explore their artistic expresión.
We are also involved with the local community who often share with us their ancestral knowledge of the bio region and it’s characteristics, we strive to share as much as we can as well.
Here there is the possibility to learn and share knowledge in several capacities such as:
- permaculture
- agroecology
- eco technology
- local biodiversity (and nature in general)
- basic construction techniques
- art and design
- languages (we speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and a bit of French)
Workawayers will be doing projects hand in hand with us and our team.
We look forward to exchange knowledge and share experiences with our visitors.
