  Descripción

  Welcome!
  We are glad you have find us! Take your time to read...
  
  We are family with 3 little kids: Irene (6 years), Marcel (4 years) and Oliva (2 years). My husband, Mario, and I, Anne-Sophie, we are from 2 different cultures: Colombian and Belgian. Very interesting mix if you ask me ☺️ for this reason you will see changing our profile twice a year depending in which country we are for the moment. So when you look at our pictures you will see a mix of both countries so that you get to know better our family. Btw now we are in COLOMBIA! (Zapatoca, Santander)
  
  Having our small community of coffee farmers in Colombia, we are selling those coffee beans in Belgium. If you'd like to know more about our sustainable agriculture project,named Orizonte, you can read on our website. Ask us for the link!
  
  Thanks to this project we have been able to buy our own farm in Colombia and we have a lot do, mostly eco construction and planting trees, which we love.
  We would also like try to grow our own vegetables etc, but we need more helping hands! For now Mario plants maize to make our own arepa's (kind of maize bread which is very typical in Colombia)
  
  We don’t use any strong soaps, neither perfumes.
  
  And all the rest you can discover once you are here.
  
  Ps: we would love to host families with kids. We love to socialize and learn from each other. This way we try to educate our kids on an unschooling way.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  In our house we have 2 cultures because we are from 2 countries, Belgium and Colombia. So we try to offer both. Mostly expressed in food. Because we think it is the most important daily activity: being busy with food (growing, preparing,...). We like to share whenever we can. Talking, eating together, listening to music, making music (Mario plays klarinet), dreaming of living in a community, it is all part of a cultural exchange!
  
  Hope to get to know you better.

  Ayuda

  We are looking for an openminded and creative people who like to construct with the materials that are available: earth, a lot of huge stones and small stones, wood,..
  
  We’re also looking for someone who could help in the house such as taking care of our 3 kids as well as cooking. Taking care of our kids doesn't mean that you have to entertain them. Because we like them to develop themselves during activities we do together, such as cooking, gardening, building,... For this reason as well we prefer to host someone who can come for a month, because you can develop a more stable relation with our family.
  
  Our main purpose is to be able to live on the countryside in the most independent way. This implies that we would like to cultivate a little bit of everything and have a variety of animals and that way we try to find a balance so that in the end there is no waste on our farm.
  
  
  PS: Our farm is free of smoke and we would like to keep it that way.

  Alojamiento

  We have a private room (very bais!) for a couple or small family. You can also put your tent.
  
  We will share every meal during the working days and if you like to cook then we love to try your way of cooking!
  
  When you have your days off then we can still share meals but it depends on you if you would like to travel or hike or just stay with us.

  Algo más...

  There is very little public transport but we have a car to pick you up in town, Zapatoca (30 minutes very slow drive). It is also a nice walk from town to our farm!
