Description
We often don't know exactly what to tell people about ourselves when asked. Are we a bit crazy for living on a 50 ha farm in Paraguay? Definately yes! Are we family oriented, hard working, eager to learn new things, well connected with nature and animal loving? Yes to all of it and much more!
We - that is our family of 9 humans in three generations, cultivate this piece of land together with a herd of cattle, a herd of sheep, horses, lots of other small animals from chicken to rabbits and of course the cats and dogs.
We practice regenerative agriculture, use bits and parts of permaculture und syntropical agriculture as well as electroculture and everything else that seems right, helpful and good for our fields, gardens, fruit trees and grazing areas.
We have a small carpentery and are well able to built and manage our machines and equipments.
We live by producing and selling everything our organic farm gives us: Milk, Yogurt, Kefir, Kombucha, meat, honey, herbal medicine, fruits and vegetable (when available).
We live out in nature. There are friendly neighbours around, but not in seeing distance. The next village is about 10 km away on a dirt road. To the next city it takes us about 45 minutes by car or moto. What does that mean? Quietness, nature, fresh air and a connection to things as they really are.

Help
The help you can give us is everything your hands and your creative mind can provide. Our daily work will be definately hands on!
You can help with the production of our products, maintaining gardens and infrastructure (construction). Helping with project underway or starting new projects. The animals need daily care: milking, herding the cattle to the grazing areas, cleaning the barns or seeing to the animals health. And who knows? Maybe a new calf or lamb will be born while you are here and you can help with that...
The weather is hot (mostly) and work is hard, so it will get sweaty. If you don't shy away from it, you can join us.
Educating/Teaching us or our children is something we could use help with. Or if you have skills with presenting our business online, this could be a small part of your work as well.
Whatever interests you, whatever you can teach us or want to learn from us. We will work something out for you to be needed here and feel comfortable.

Accommodation
We can provide you a tent to camp on our Land. If you want to bring your own tent, even better.
If you prefer a room that is fine as well. Right now you could stay in a room at a house on our land, in which three of our children live as well. The accommodations are very basic and there is nothing fancy about it. A tin roof, a cement floor, no air conditioning.
You can use our shower and toilet. We invite you to have your meals with us, if you want to.
What else ...
As said before, we are far off any city. No food delivery, no dance club, no shopping center.
We do have motorcycles you can rent if you want to discover the beautiful landscape around us, drive to the river to take a dip or go to the nearest city for shopping .From there you can take a bus to go visit the famous waterfalls or the attractions of Asuncion. Twice a week one of us drives to Independencia to deliver our goods to a organic supermarket there and we do our grocery shopping then.
If you have allergies, food intolerances or follow a special diet, please let us know before!! We eat meat (we butcher our own animals) and we eat milkproducts (as we milk our cows every day). It would be a challende to integrate other diets into our daily life, so please let us talk about it before you come!
