    Description

    A working coffee farm with gardens and animals. hard work, great food, good fun and internet. Located in a beautiful area in the mountains of Oaxaca. The place is somewhat remote in a lush area surrounded by nature and there are some great hikes with lots of birds and butterflies. I have always been a traveler, not a tourist, and before I bought this coffee farm I drove from Arkansas to Ushuaia Argentina with my girlfriend on an epic three year adventure. I have now settled down on this piece of paradise and I am working toward self sufficency and I could use some help. One thing I will mention is that the food is definitely not vegetarian or vegan, the animales here are not pets, they either have a job or are raised for food so you decide if here is a good fit for you.
