    Description

    Hello, I am Raimundo, I am in charge of the administration of the farm. We are a farm of 300ha, which was bought three years ago. By now we have 250ha with walnut, and 50ha for the animals. There is a small vegetable garden and a lot of fruit trees.
    The close city is call Chillan and the closest small town is Bulnes
    The farm has animals like chicken, a dog, sheeps, cows, bees and 22 horses. The horses live in the land on their own, there are some very nice and easy ride and others that are in training, some of them need to start the training this summer.
    There is a big house which is used mainly by the owner and my family when they are here, there is my house and a house for the volunteers or trainees that do their study practice here.

    I have been in the region for three years now with a lot of desire to know and explore the area, a fan of adventure sports (climbing, kitesurfing, paragliding, motorcycle, bike, kayaking, trekking, swimming , etc..)
    The place is incredible slightly isolated from the big cities but with good access by car and bus,there is a train to,, a lot of tranquility for personal projects, and many activities to develop as a farmer.
    Im relly looking for people open to learn new skills in contruccion, gardeneering, horse care, animal care in general, and with a lot of motivation to join me in daily adventures arround.
    in the other hand the community here is very nice, so always looking for oportunitis to help and share with everybody.

  • Help

    Help

    There is always a lot to do - it is a big farm. We have a lot of workers who work in different parts (construction, wood, fields, machines, agriculture, garden, animals...) and can always use help. If you have any knowledge it would be much appreciated - but if not that is not a problem - you can learn and work in the field you are interested in.
    The animal care is important with special care of the horses, they need more attention to be ridden and cared for. At the moment we have 4 two year olds that need to be trained, plus 3 with one year of training, and few old ones to go ride safe arround when you want - if you know about horses and want to work with them, that would be a great help.

    It is important to mention that the volunteer should be self-responsible and intiative, as I am mostly busy in the day and responsible for a lot of people.

    There is a small house for volunteers and students with three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Volunteers will have their own room, expect for times when there are more then 3, then a room could be shared, but its not probable. The house is basic, but everything working and functioning. You are free to use my house too. I provide food. Next to the big house is a pool that can be used by everyone, also there is a (semi) private little lake in the land with two kayaks that you can use in your free time, some bike to go arround, and a car to visit close places.
