Description
Welcome,
Nestled deep within the rugged Andes, our farm beckons to those who seek ecological exploration. We invite individuals with a keen interest in permaculture and a readiness to embark on our work in progress permaculture project.
Our work revolves around working in harmony with the wild ecosystems that have shaped this land for millennia. We base our knowledge in the observation and analysis of the natural’s world systems and interactions.
Physical involvement is integral here, and we welcome those driven by energy and enthusiasm for hands-on tasks.
As a research-focused farm, we delve into the intricacies of permaculture principles. Prior experience in gardening is valued, as you'll actively nurture plant life and observe the wonders of nature at work.
Through innovative practices like bokashi, biol, and composting, we adapt to the Earth's cycles, striving to sustain and enhance the ecological balance.
Join us on this genuine and explorative journey, as we pioneer harmony with nature, shaping a sustainable future for the Earth and ourselves.
