    Description

    Hi! 🌿 I'm Verónica, creator of Oveja Verde (Green Sheep), a project with soul that began as a rural tourism and artisanal gastronomy space on the Beagle Channel in 2012 and is now transforming into a creative, natural, and conscious refuge and accommodation.

    Oveja Verde combines sustainable living, art, well-being, and connection with the Earth.
    Here, the days unfold amidst mountains, wind, fire, forest, and sea. I'm restructuring the place and need hands, energy, companionship, and ideas to keep going.

    I'm trying to build this project on my own, along with my 8-year-old son. That's why I'm looking for volunteers with sensitivity, empathy, and respect, who understand that this isn't a hostel or a party spot, but a home at the end of the world where we share work, nature, and authentic moments.

    Tasks to perform: Help with meals or simple preparations.
    Assistance with daily organization or cleaning. Guest reception, cabin and laundry cleaning, lawn and garden maintenance, assistance with setting up a new vegetable garden and greenhouse, painting, and gathering firewood for heating and cooking, grilling, fence and wire repair, shed tidying, and general maintenance.

    No behavior that disrupts the normal functioning of a family home is permitted, nor is aggressive behavior towards any individual. Excessive consumption, such as alcoholic beverages, is also prohibited.

    We strive to protect green spaces and natural areas, and minimize noise during rest hours and at night. We are looking for active, cheerful, and energetic people who are eager to collaborate, learn, and love rural life. You can expect a warm and friendly welcome from us.

    If you dream of spending a few days at the end of the world, helping to keep alive a project that blends art, sustainability, and magic, welcome to Oveja Verde. Here, every helping hand will leave a mark, and each day will become a small ritual. 🌙🐑

    With love,
    Verónica De Pinto

    Accommodation

    I'm restructuring the place as a hostel, but volunteers will sometimes have to share the family space since we won't always be able to offer a private room. They can also set up their own tents and will have access to a shared kitchen and basic food supplies from my family home, which I also need help renovating before winter.

    ----------

    Estoy reestructurando el lugar como hospedaje, pero los voluntarios deberán en algunas ocasiones compartir el espacio familiar ya que no podremos siempre ofrecer un lugar privado. Tambien pueden armar sus propias carpas y tendran acceso a cocina compartida y alimentos básicos de mi casita familiar, en la que tambien necesito ayuda para refaccionarla antes del invierno.
