Details
Description
We are a very nice community. There is always people visiting from all over the place but also they are chill farm days (depends on the season). We started this projects around 10 years ago because we like to eat healthy and we love animals. We have horses, chickens, dogs, turkeys, peacock and some other wild animals like a lot of fireflies in the season.
Edgar is acupuncturist and he lives in the farm. He knows a lot about plants and alternative medicine.
Eric is the one that keeps the place working as a general organizer. He works in different hospitality projects and with horses too. He loves to fly paraglider. Enrique is the smallest brother and he organizes right now the volunteer program and the restaurant in the farm. He is a profesional photographer.
At our eco-ranch we have 10 full time local employers who each specialise in certain ranch activities such as working in our greenhouses, construction, property maintenance, or caring for and training the animals. Although the managers of the volunteer program speak fluent English the local employees only speak Spanish which offers a great opportunity for those trying to improve their Spanish skills.
In terms of the volunteer accommodation offered: there is an entire volunteer house complete with a fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms, a little roof top gym that we are building, wood-fired pizza oven, numerous seating areas and two dorm-style and two private sleeping rooms, there are a number of private rooms else where on the ranch and a new volunteer building is currently in construction.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The people that works here are really nice and you can have real Mexican friends. We have a soccer team of the farm that plays every Sunday.
In this city live many interesting people, local artists of pottery and many other things. It is a place where you get to all the places walking, the people are very friendly ... We have a lake where many sports are practiced.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The help that we need depends on the volunteer. There is a lot of projects going on in the farm.
The vegetable garden needs lots of help If you enjoy getting your hand a "little bit" dirty, the garden its really nice. We are always building new things with the politic of using what we have. We recycle a lot.
There is one person per area (animals, garden, construction, hotel, plants...). So, you can decide with who do you want to help.
If you have any idea that we can do in the farm, is always welcome.

Accommodation

We give you a house to live with everything you need but everybody buys his own ingredients to cook. There is a shop 5 min walking from the farm that you can find a little bit of everything there for a good price.
What else ...
We have horses and lots of animals. We have people working with us, so you can meet people of the region.
We want volunteers to stay minimum 1 week and if you want to stay more than 1 month we decide here, to see if you like the place. We think that one of the most important things in life is to have a good attitude!!

It’s a nice, interesting place, especially if you know about permaculture. Then there is a wonderful potential with so many things to do! Don’t expect to do something else; several volunteers came thinking they would work on other projects but in fact, everybody ends up in the garden… I think it’s because Eric is here only during the weekends: he… read more

Our time at this Ranch was complicated and, at times, frustrating. Nevertheless, we spent around three weeks working on the ranch, and had fun while there. We would recommend the experience to fellow workawayers, but only if armed with the following information:

We spent an amazing and memorable month on this ranch. The location is beautiful and away from the usual tourist path in Mexico. The ranch is rustic with lots of character, and animals! We spent the first week gardening in the huge greenhouses, and then we moved onto various other activities. If you want to work with animals there are rabbits,… read more

I had plenty of free time and the opportunity to make friends of my own age, as well as feeling like one of the family. Thank you!
