Description
We are a family of 5 people and 3 adorable dogs and a cow, piglets, and chickens. We are a family, a family that tries to be 100% self-sustaining, we live 40 minutes from the capital (Quito) and 30 minutes from Cumbayá (a small city) We have our organic store where we work from Monday to Saturday from 9 to 7 at night.
We are looking for a person who likes to work with the land, who has experience in organic agriculture, or is a farmer since we want to be able to grow our own vegetables and fruits and have a small bio-intensive organic production farm.
The people that work in our small properties are all our family (5 persons) plus a female friend.
