Description
We are a family of two people and a lot of animals: dogs, cats, hens and sheep. We moved to the south of Chile three years ago. In Detif, a place of Lemuy Island, located in Chiloé. We came to this place for in integrating ourselves to the territory, recovering the forest and managing a space that supports our food and human needs. So we are constantly learning how to do it.
We live on 4 hectare bordering the beach, with an expanding young forest and grassland. We try to reproduce different agroecological practices with the materials provided by the environment, as the use of seaweed and guano in the crops. Our organic garden is about 500 mt2, where we have a lot of vegetables according to the season. And a greenhouse for species that require more care. Also, we plan to have an edible forest area and the reforestation of the native forest.

Somos una familia de dos personas y muchos animales, entre perros, gatos, gallinas y ovejas. Vivimos hace tres años en el sur de Chile, y habitamos hace un año nuestra casa, en Detif, un sector de la Isla Lemuy, ubicada en el archipiélago de Chiloé.
Llegamos a este territorio con la idea de integrarnos al lugar, recuperar el bosque y administrar un espacio que sustente nuestra alimentación y necesidades como seres humanos, como la calefacción, el agua y la electricidad. Por lo que estamos en constante aprendizaje para lograrlo.
Habitamos un terreno de 4 hectáreas que colinda con la playa, con un bosque joven en expansión, praderas y quebradas. Para la mantención de la granja y la alimentación del suelo intentamos replicar distintas practicas agroecológicas con los materiales que nos provee el entorno, como por ejemplo, el uso de algas y guano en los cultivos. Nuestra huerta contempla un espacio de cerca de 500 mt2, en el cual tenemos cultivos de diversas hortalizas según sea la temporada, y un invernadero para especies que requieren mayor cuidado. También, proyectamos tener una zona de bosque comestible y la reforestación del bosque nativo.Types of help and learning opportunities
