Informationen

Beschreibung
I'm a Chicago native transplanted in Colombia. 3.5 years ago I came down here and quickly decided I wanted a piece of this paradise, so I purchased a coffee farm. Manizales is a brilliant city, and I look forward to helping you integrate into Colombian culture with this exchange! I'm only in Colombia for about half the year.

This exchange currently ONLY offers room and board in exchange for work. We do not supply food. There is a kitchen and you can negotiate with the woman that cooks if you would like her to cook for you.

Was ist das?
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
You will learn about the full coffee growing process from farm to cup and have the ability to grow, harvest, and eat from the garden at the farm.
Arbeit
I bought the Finca 2 years ago as a project, so there is so much to be done, from cleaning the farm (with machete) to investigating new viable plants to grow, to picking coffee and helping with coffee tours. I'm from the USA and live near the farm in Manizales, Colombia, but the needs are growing and help is welcomed! If you have experience working on coffee farms that is obviously a big plus, but none is needed.

Vom Workawayer (Léa) für Host

How not to recommend this workaway?

It was truly an incredible stay.
He is an incredible person with a big heart, who helped me a lot to make my mark in Colombia. The farm is just expeptionnel, a corner of paradise accompanied by baby cats and a loving dog.

I would have liked to help him more, he deserves only good waves.

Thank you again.

Our experience at the farm was awesome! Wes was an excellent host, very generous and flexible. Manuel, the head farmer, was super nice and friendly. We enjoyed working with him a lot. We stayed a little bit under a week and got to see the coffee process from start to finish. We picked coffee berries, helped process them, and even got to roast some… read more

We spent an amazing time at wess' farm.
He was really nice with us, took care of us all the time.
The farm is huge and there are loads of things to be done, but there are no big exigences according to the tasks to do.
We felt happily free and there is a lovely atmosphere. We recommend it!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ioana & Robin)

Loana & Robin stayed with me for two weeks. They were a fairly polite couple and my farmer, Manuel, spoke highly of their work ethic. That being said, there was a near immediate engagement on touchy issues like politics with an ulterior motive undertone. I wouldn't recommend coming into someone's property or home and talking politics or religion… read more

We spent about 2 weeks at the coffee farm. The finca is in a very nice valley and we certainly learned a great deal about coffee production. The main activity during our stay was coffee-picking. Manuel, the farmer, was a pleasant company and he would be our main connection with the farm.

However, we left the farm after our security was put in… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Tom & Laura)

Tom and Laura stayed with us at the finca for just under two weeks. They brought creativity, love, and passion to the place. Tom and Laura are both full of great ideas and have the ability and ambition to act on them. These two would be a great pleasure for any host to accommodate.

Vom Workawayer (Tom & Laura) für Host

The three of us stayed for just under two weeks and had the most unforgettable experience, Wes really looked after us and was accommodating to all of our needs. The farm is an authentic working Colombian coffee farm and with my background in coffee I was in my element. House is basic but has everything you need plus warm water. The farmer, Manuel… read more
