  Description

  We are an Ecoeducative farm located in the région Ñuble. We are a family of 6 members, we live under the principles of Permaculture. We work the bioconstrucción, the biodinamica, agraecologia, natural beekeeping. At the moment we are building a house with recycled materials and mud for volunteers and other new members on the farm. We have 3 hectares of land with forest, river and wetland. Our constructions are in bales of straw, bottles, mud, eco-bricks and wood. 10 years ago we received volunteers through other internet sites, we have always had excellent experiences of exchange and feedback with our volunteers, so much so that everyone returns.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a Franco-Chilean family of 6 so we are all bilingual French-Spanish. We have traveled to several countries. We like to organize cultural meetings on the farm, live music, seed exchange. To earn a living, Adrien is a sculptor and carves sculptures in rocks from the Ñuble river. Lorena does transcriptions for a marketing company. Sometimes we go to fairs to sell stones or products from the farm, we educate our 4 children at home, we participate in a sports club and a community corporation called "buen vivir de Ñiquen". Here you can learn about natural medicine, ecological paints, construction with straw bales, thatch, bottles, eco-bricks, we also have experience in natural cosmetics, biofertilizers, lunar calendar, planting association, edible forest, trips to the river...

  What else ...

  We are at the northern gate of the Ñuble Region between Parral and San Carlos, 50 km north of Chillán, near rivers and volcanoes, 1.30 hours from the beach and 6 km from Route 5, the main connection artery, the most important in Chile, which allows us easy access to different tourist panoramas always in the middle of nature, away from the noise and movement of large cities and which makes it easier for our volunteers to return from their tours in the south. We have been receiving volunteers for 10 years, this space has been created thanks to it; practically every time we have met brothers who are still our friends to this day from different countries of the world, we love volunteers, the exchange, the company, the meals together, the conversations, the bonfires, we honestly had a wonderful time and our children too
