  Do you value things like health, vitality, and people that truly support one another? Would you like more connection with the land and to practice your critical thinking more often? Do you want to be around others and make lifetime connections and friendships from around the world? Do you want to be surrounded by delicious fruit trees?

  Help

  We are currently building our home-base and want to get in touch with those that resonate with our pursuit, regardless of what month or year you may join us in. We will be preparing after our first baby is born in February, and we want to get in touch with you. Whether that be for a tea beforehand while you travel around Ecuador, or being one of our first team-mates!
  
  We will have flexible working hours and various jobs to choose from. We will have an organized section you can check into daily to choose what you'd like to build on. Some projects include: Farming (planting, plowing, pruning, plucking...); Building (guest houses, pathways, paving); Detailing (arts, shingles, painting); Maintenance (repairs, cleaning); Behind the scenes (online work, photography/filmography).
  
  This is not all...this is just what we can think of! Include your skills and interests in your message to us, we will aim to find a great fit for everyone.

  What else ...

  This place will hopefully provide you with a feeling of home and warmth. There will be much to do around the property such as ping-pong, frisbee, hacky-sack, Sudoku and puzzles, reading material, explore the town, swimming, great conversations, bonfires, making treats, or anything else we can think of.
