Description
Farming With Intention:
We’re looking to host people who want to stay at least two months, ideally longer, because we know that real learning takes time.
What This Place Is:
This isn’t a retreat or a volunteer vacation. It’s a working farm in the cloud-forest foothills near Cali, Colombia — and a place where we’re actively exploring what it means to live in right relationship with land, food, community, and the unseen world that moves through all of it.
We take farming seriously, and we also take the spiritual dimension of this work seriously — not in a dogmatic way, but with respect, curiosity, and humility. The land teaches us, if we’re willing to listen.
What Life Here Looks Like:
-Daily, physical farm work and house tasks— soil building, planting, harvesting, caring for animals, cleaning, maintenance
-Learning by doing: agroecology, permaculture, biodynamic, and biointensive practices, seed work, observation
-Weather, mud, fatigue, repetition, frustration, beauty, and long quiet stretches
-Living close to others, with humility and awareness of others' needs
Alongside the work, we regularly gather — to cook, to talk, to play music, to dance. The arts are part of how we process life, mark time, and stay human. Music, movement, and shared creative moments help hold the intensity of farm work and deepen our sense of community.
Food & Shelter:
We eat simply and well — mostly vegetarian, mostly from our own harvest. Housing is shared and comfortable - we all live in a big bahareque home.
Commitment & Exchange:
A longer stay allows trust to build — with the land and with each other. People who come ready to humble themselves, accept some discomfort, and commit to the slow rhythms of agrarian life tend to thrive here. Those looking for comfort, constant stimulation, or more of a retreat vibe might not.
We’re happy to talk through expectations, schedules, and how contributions work. Financial support isn’t required, but it does help keep the project alive.
If you feel called to real farm work, grounded living, creative expression, and honest exploration — including the spiritual questions that farming inevitably raises — this might be a good place for you. -

What else ...
The place is just a cheap 40-minute bus ride from the heart of Cali — Colombia’s vibrant salsa capital with plenty of music, markets, and culture to explore. The Pacific coast isn’t far either, and epic jungle, river, and waterfall adventures are within a couple hours of here
And honestly, you don’t even have to leave the farm to have fun — we host community gatherings, music jams, dance classes, and bonfires, so there’s always something happening and new friends to meet! -

Kino (18 years)
Kino has spent more time at the farm than any of us humans. He's quite old and requires a fair amount of care, but he's very sweet.
