Description
Hey! We're Josie and Stu, we run a hostel and coffee farm in the hills of Antioquia. We fell in love with Jericó when backpacking Colombia and now enjoy sharing its magic with many people from around the world. We run a very family energy hostel, with regular group meals - Stu being a fabulous chef - and a communal atmosphere. We are developing a farm to table experience and so along with other skills are always looking for travellers to come and help us in the garden!
We have a caretaker onsite who looks after the coffee farm with his wife, we also have a lovely local lady who helps us with breakfast - as well as a local gardener. -

We will provide cooked breakfast everyday and most days a family evening meal, when there isn't a family meal we will provide ingredients for volunteers to use. -
