    Description

    The eco-farm project began two years ago. On the farm, I grow all kinds of edible plants. I have two beehives with which I'm learning the beautiful art of beekeeping. I also have a small pond with fish for my own consumption, all in an effort to be self-sustaining. I make a living primarily from the silver jewelry I make, the coffee I produce on the farm, and I have a craft beer business. I currently live alone with my dog and cat, and I usually bring my children home on the weekends.

    El proyecto de finca eco lógica Tantanakuy comenzó hace 2 años, en la finca cultivo toda clase de plantas comestibles, tengo 2 colmenas de abejas con las que estoy aprendiendo el hermoso arte de la apicultura, también tengo un laguito con peces para el consumo propio, todo buscando ser autosustentable.
    Vivo sobretodo de la joyería en plata que hago, del café de produzco en la finca y tengo un emprendimiento de cerveza artesanal.
    En el momento vivo solo con mi perra y gato y normalmente los fines de semana traigo mis hijos a la casa.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The idea is to exchange knowledge related to art in general, and especially music and gastronomy, about green building, agriculture, and the beer-making process. We typically meet with neighboring families to do community work (mingas) and to make music and share with others.

    La idea es intercambiar saberes relacionados al arte en general y especialmente en música y gastronomía, sobre bio construcción, sobre agricultura, sobre el proceso de fabricación de cerveza. Normalmente nos encontramos con familiares vecinas para hacer trabajos comunitarios (mingas) y para hacer música y compartir en comunidad.

  • Help

    Help

    We do the tasks together and are related to agriculture, such as planting vegetables and fruit trees, sometimes working with bees, and during harvest season, with coffee. We also work in bioconstruction and home improvements, such as woodworking and bamboo. The idea is to exchange related knowledge.

    Las tareas las hacemos juntos y son relacionadas con la agricultura, como siembra de hortalizas, árboles frutales, a veces trabajo con las abejas y en época de cosecha con el cafe. También en bio construcción en mejoras de la casa, como trabajos con madera y bambú
    La idea es intercambiar saberes relacionados.
