    Description

    Be part of our family (Matías, Karen, Elizabeth and Abigail) and live the experience of learning by doing! Everything we learned after traveling and being part of different farm, construction and renewable energy projects, we are now implementing in our field. Here you will find beautiful meadows, forests, mountains, river and each space has a different environment that invites you to connect with nature. We have cows, calves, sheep, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs, a greenhouse and a garden. Our life revolves around the countryside and activities related to the garden.

    Like all travelers, we are respectful of all ways of living life, but you should know that our farm is self-cultivated for food, therefore some meals may include meat (Chicken, Duck, Lamb, Beef) Ideal if you are a flexitarian. If you are vegan, vegetarian, let us know in advance.

    Se parte de nuestra familia (Matías, Karen, Elizabeth y Abigail) y vive la experiencia de aprender haciendo! Todo lo que aprendimos después de viajar y ser parte de distintos proyectos de granjas, construcción y energías renovables, ahora lo estamos implementando en nuestro campo. Acá encontraras lindas praderas, bosques, montañas, río y cada espacio tiene un ambiente distinto que te invita a conectarte con la naturaleza. Contamos con vacas, terneros, ovejas, patos, gallinas, gatos, perros, invernadero y huerto. Nuestra vida gira entorno al campo y actividades relacionadas a la huerta.

    Como todo viajero, somos respetuosos con todas las formas de vivir la vida, pero debes saber que nuestra granja es de autocultivo para comer, por tanto algunas comidas pueden incluir carne (Pollo, Pato, Cordero, Vacuno) Ideal si eres flexitariano. Si eres vegano, vegetariano, avísanos previamente.
