We need help from december to april
HELP NEEDED IN ORGANIC AGRICULTURE / BIOCONSTRUCTION / CHILD CARE
We are a small permaculture farm in the 8th year. We have a house build with COB and Strawbale where we lives with our 5 year old baby. We are producing our own food (organic vegetables), planting trees, building with natural materials, etc.
During winter and cold months we have a comfy house for volunteers.
In summer, we also have space for camp and a open roof space for cook and relax for volunteers.
We use Compost toilet and an opened warm shower, sometimes you can take a hot shower inside our house.
We are located in Trevelin, a small town in the Andean Patagonia in Argentina.
This spring and summer, we would like to improve the orchad, building an extension of our house so there is going to be a lot of learnings, hard work and fun.
We are also having workshops and other activities with the local community, that you can be part of.
We are looking for people that are really willing to learn, that doesnt fear to the hard work and that can commit to the place and be responsable. Also people that are easy going and want to have fun in a nice and familiar enviroment. We do a lot of physical work, so it is important that you are interested in working out even you dont have expirience.
Sometimes we need you to take care of our son, so it is really important to us that you are used to kids and that you are opened to spend time with him.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We ask you to stay 2- 3 weeks minimum. We are funny and easy going, but we are really serious with our activities and we aprecciate when people are commited with the work we do. We consider that 2 weeks is the rigth timing to connect to each other and get to know each other depper, beyond the work we share. So please stay at least that time :)
We are responsable consumers, so We dont allow any food thay generates garbage. It is not allow to bring cans, plastic bottles, cigarretes or any other containers with this materials. We are really serious with this. In our community it is a big deal. You will find out more about it, when you visit us,
Bring enough coat for the patagonia, because sometime there is 4 seasons happening in one day.
We have always had good experiences with our visitors and volunteers... we hope to see you soon.
NECESITAMOS ALGUIEN COMPROMETIDO Y RESPONSABLE PARA AYUDAR EN LAS TAREAS BASICAS DEL LUGAR, CUIDADO DE ANIMALES, RIEGO Y HUERTA.
AHORA NECESITAMOS EXTENDER LA HUERTA ORGÁNICA Y SEMBRAR. TAMBIEN TERMINAR LA AMPLIACIÓN DE NUESTRA CASA QUE ESTAMOS HACIENDO CON TECNICAS DE CONSTRUCCION NATURAL.
Somos una granja familiar de permacultura en su octavio año. Vivimos en una casa que nosotros construimos de Cob y fardos de paja. Estamos cultivando hortalizas orgánicas, plantando árboles, construyendo con materiales naturales, terminando detalles de la casa y haciendo mantenimiento general de la granja y creando cosas nuevas, siempre abiertos a probar.
Durante el invierno y meses fríos, tenemos una casa para voluntarios.
En el verano ofrecemos espacio para acampar y adicionalmente hay un espacio techado abierto para uso de los voluntarios con cocina y espacio para relajarse.
Usamos baño seco compostero y ducha solar al aire libre en el verano.
Estamos localizados en las afueras de Trevelin, un pequeño pueblo de la Patagonia Andina en Argentina. En el pueblo puedes encontrar de todo y en los alrededores mucha naturaleza para explorar, incluyendo el Parque Nacional Los Alerces, cascadas, ríos, montañas, lagos...
Esta primavera y verano estaremos mejorando el espacio de la huerta orgánica y terminando la ampliación de nuestra casa. Habrá mucho aprendizaje, trabajo duro y diversión para hacer.
También estaremos dando algunos cursos y talleres con la comunidad.
Estamos en búsqueda de gente con muchas ganas de aprender y que no tengan miedo al trabajo duro, al compromiso, a pasarla lindo y a compartir con nuestra familia. Debes saber que el trabajo que hacemos es muy físico y que no necesitas experiencia previa, pero sí muchas ganas de ejercitarte y trabajar en equipo.
En ocasiones también necesitamos que nos ayudes a cuidar a nuestro pequeño hijo de 5 años. Así que es muy, pero muy importante para nosotros que estés acostumbrado a estar rodeado de niños, que seas paciente con él y que respetes y valores los tiempos y espacios de la familia.
INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE
Pedimos un mínimo de estadía de 2 o 3 semanas. Somos una granja, divertida y relajada, pero nos tomamos el trabajo muy serio y nos gusta que vengan personas comprometidas. Consideramos que 2 semanas es un tiempo razonable para poder conectar entre nosotros y conocernos más allá del trabajo que compartamos. Así que si no pudieras comprometerse a ese tiempo, desafortunadamente no podremos recibirte.
Algo muy importante para mencionar es que nos tomamos muy enserio el manejo de residuos y NO nos gusta generar basura, por lo que pedimos a los voluntarios que durante su estadía no generen basura y sean consumidores responsables, eligiendo y comprando comida que no tenga plásticos incorporados. También somos estrictos con el uso de latas, no aceptamos que traigan bebidas en lata, ni comida en lata. Agradecemos tu compresión, estamos en una zona rural, donde no viene el camión de la basura y además nos gusta hacernos cargo de nuestros residuos.
Ven preparado con ropa calientita, porque a veces hay 4 estaciones en un sólo día.
Siempre hemos tenido buenas referencias y nos divertimos mucho, te esperamos!!!
