    Hello !

    My name is Moises and I am happy to invite you to our farm to enjoy nature and learn some about it in Ometepe Island, just in front of the lake.

    This farm exists for a long time so we have a lot of big fruit trees (mangos, coconuts, jackfruits, breadfruits, avocados, oranges, lemons, plantain, papaya), and now we want to create a vegetable patch, a plant nursery (specially for curcuma), take care of some chickens, and eventually make organic coconut oil...
    That's why we need your help :)

    If you want to practice or create something , feel free to do it with us. We have a big land so we have space for everybody to have their own little garden. One part of the beach is in the farm so you can enjoy it as long as you want.

    The farm is 10 minutes from the port (in Moyogalpa, from Rivas)
    ================

    Holà!
    soy Moises y estoy feliz de invitarte a nuestra finca para disfrutar de la naturaleza y aprender un poco sobre ella en la Isla de Ometepe, justo frente al lago.

    Esta finca existe desde hace mucho tiempo, por lo que tenemos muchos árboles frutales grandes (mangos, cocos, jackfruit, fruta de pan, aguacates, naranjas, limones, plátanos, papayas), y ahora queremos crear un huerto, un vivero de plantas ( especialmente para la cúrcuma), cuidar algunas gallinas y eventualmente hacer aceite de coco orgánico...
    Por eso necesitamos tu ayuda :)

    Si quieres practicar o crear algo, siéntete libre de hacerlo con nosotros . Tenemos un terreno grande, así que tenemos espacio para que todos tengan su propio pequeño jardín. Una parte de la playa está en la finca para que puedas disfrutarla todo el tiempo que quieras.

    La finca se encuentra a 10 minutos del Puerto (en Moyogalpa, desde Rivas).

    I speak Spanish and English so it's easier for us to teach you permaculture and all the farming work we have to do.

    Plus if you want to practice English or Spanish, we can have good conversations around the fire at sunset time ;)
