Description
We are building up a natural living farm in the mountains of Cocorna, Antioquia Colombia. Our Main focus has been natural building and organic gardening side by side maintaining the land.
We are now looking for extra help with all round work on the land and also creative educational play with our 2 kids (Uma 5 years and Tay (3). They are free spirited born and raised in the mountains. We also much welcome other families.
We are now designing and implementation our gardens both medicinal and food, inspired by perma culture ( i lived in a perma culture school- community in Thailand for 1,5 year) and ancient traditional living. ( My partner is a farmer by his roots) we garden and aim to have a holistic closed circle farm.
We are proud and passionate to build with nature using nearly 80% of building materials from our land, like earth, wood bamboo straw etc.
We like to develop some products of herbs, foods and flowers, like soaps wine thee's, oils tinctures etc. next to our own veggie and Fruit consumption. Our coffee we hand pick, proces and drink.
The property is a 30 minutes walk from the last road following an ancestral trail.
Living in nature with a beautifull view over the mountains and the village where many water flows.
We take joy of making much ourselves including furniture, food we are passionate about creating with Nature and from scratch in a puré way.
For the work exchange we provide camping and have all camping gear including matras and bedding available.
Food is not included in the exchange. You can buy and bring up your ingredientes. But also we do a big shoping once a 2 weeks and bring it up by Horse, and step by step we have more harvest from our land. You can give us an optional contribution, i did some general calculation and normally we ask 25.000 so that we can share food and ingredients. Normally we share at least one meal a day, lunch which we can cook together or take turns. Breakfast and dinner is fluid depending on the energy.
