  Description

  Hello! We are Nicolás and Milagros, we have three children aged 13, 7 and 6. We have an organic agroecological farm whose main goal is to become self-sustaining and consume everything we produce. We raise pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, cows, rabbits and horses.
  We have an organic vegetable garden project where we learn day by day how to cultivate the land and what food is for our climate. We live surrounded by Monte Nativo and we are learning to understand its uses, both food and medicinal, our goal is to produce as much food as possible, both meat and vegetable to connect with food and the way of producing food. We dedicate much of the day to milking, food processing and animal handling, the tasks we perform are very diverse and no day is like the other. Animal welfare is our goal The tasks to be performed are around them to the garden. Feeding animals, cleaning pens, milking, gathering weeds, harvesting, tilling the land and all the tasks related to life in the field. We want to be visited by people who can get used to the quietness and silence, we are 20 kilometers from the nearest town, Villa de Soto, although it is a journey that we do almost daily.
  Diversity and cultural exchange are a very enriching experience that we would like our children to experience and thus improve their English since only I (mili) handle it.
  the great diversity of birds, plants and trees that inhabit, the sunsets and the dark skies make our place unique in the world.
  
  
  
  
  Hola! Somos Nicolás y Milagros, tenemos tres hijos de 13, 7 y 6 años. Tenemos un granja agroecológica de producción orgánica cuyo principal objetivo es hacernos autosustentables y consumir todo lo que producimos. Criamos cerdos, ovejas, cabras, gallinas, vacas, conejos y caballos.
  tenemos un proyecto de huerta orgánica en donde aprendemos día a día como cultivar la tierra y que alimentos son para nuestro clima. Vivimos rodeados de Monte Nativo y estamos aprendiendo a entender sus usos, tanto alimenticios como medicinales, nuestro objetivo es producir la mayor cantidad de alimentos posible, tanto carnícos como vegetales para conectarnos con la alimentación y la forma de producir los alimentos. Dedicamos gran parte del día al ordeñe, elaboración de alimentos y manejo de los animales, las tareas que realizamos son muy diversas y ningún día se parece al otro. El bienestar animal es nuestro objetivo.
  y las tareas a realizar son entorno a ellos o a la huerta. Alimentarlos, limpiar corrales, ordeñar, recolectar yuyos, cosechar, labrar la tierra y todas las tareas relacionadas a la vida de campo. Queremos que nos visiten personas que puedan acostumbrarse a la quietud y al silencio, estamos a 20 kilómetros del pueblo más cercano, Villa de soto, aunque es un recorrido que hacemos casi a diario.
  La diversidad y el intercambio cultural son una experiencia muy enriquecedora que nos gustaría que vivenciaran nuestros hijos para mejorar el idioma inglés ya que solo yo (mili) lo manejo.
  Nuestro lugar es único en el mundo la diversidad de pájaros plantas árboles que habitan y los mejores cielos y atardeceres del mundo están acá.
