Volunteer in a small coffee estate in Coorg, India

Details

• 

  Description

  My husband & I own a small coffee estate in Coorg, a beautiful hill station in the western ghats about 250 kms from Bangalore. February/March is the coffee picking season and we are facing a severe worker shortage during that time. If Coffee is not picked on time the cherries just drop and most pf the crop gets wasted away. We have returned from the US a few years back and bought the coffee estate because we like the weather & ambience of Coorg. Any help withthe coffee picking would be appreciated. We are willing to put anyone up and provide food. Coffee picking does not require any special skill, just patience. It is actually fun, I have on several occasions done the picking myself. Any volunteers????
  The coffee harvest typically starts in January/Febuary 2025.
  The weather in Coorg is awesome and the topography is almost like a Rain forest.
