Description
Hello, we are Cony and Michel and we tell you that we have been in this project for 10 years that focuses on ecological restoration, vegan/vegetarian food, socio-environmental education and culture. We serve our vegetarian / vegan restaurant located 10 minutes from the city of Temuco. The help we welcome from the volunteers is related to the ecological restoration project, organic cultivation, tasks; such as pruning, planting, harvesting, making artisan products according to the season and bioconstruction arrangements or new projects that we are implementing. We have a group together with friends who collaborate and leave their mark on this little piece of land, we help to raise this project and that it transcends being a green lung for the city. We manage ourselves by carrying out cultural activities, environmental education workshops, self-care, recreational activities, among others, and selling our products such as: seed guateros, vinegar, chicha, medicinal herbs. We have had volunteers who have come by word of mouth and they have been very good experiences; We hope you get excited and come spend some time in our house. We are in the Araucanía Region, Chile, a beautiful region of lakes, sea and mountains.
