Description
After living and working - running an NGO about organic vegetable gardening and food security- for 13 years in Cusco, we decided to go ‘off the grid’ and live remote and in harmony with nature. Since December 2021 we are living a new dream. We are taking care of 22 hectares in the Amazone Cloud forest, at 1,800 m.a.s.l. We learn by doing and try to turn this land into a conservation area. Early stage still, step by step.
We are 2 Dutch women, in our early fifties, ready to be conserved too;). We live here with our 4 dogs and 3 horses. We are absolute do—ers and passionated and willing to learn each day. That’s why we are looking for people with the same mindset: passionated and motivated to share skills, ideas and efforts with us in this new adventure. We are looking for people to help us setting up the organic vegetable garden.

Being independent and sharing skills and initiatives is what we are looking for.
If you are a motivated ‘green’ handy-men or women who likes to live remote and work in harmony with nature and with us, this can be something for you.
We are not looking for people who feel obligated to earn their ‘ housing ‘ by working for us in some kind of ‘employee’ relationship. We want to receive people who can commit a reasonable amount of time to the project (minimum 3 weeks).
In your email, please tell us about yourself, interests and skills. Also, please include how long you would like to stay.
