Come Lend a Hand at My Farm
Hola, sobrinos. Welcome to my little corner of the world—a coffee farm tucked away in the mountains of Manizales, Colombia. I’m close enough to the city for a quick visit but far enough that you can lose yourself in thought, surrounded by nature.
I live among six old houses that whisper stories of the Coffee Cultural Landscape, recognized by UNESCO. My farm may be small enough to explore in a day, but trust me, a whole year wouldn’t be enough to uncover all its secrets. The trees, the birds, the coffee—it all moves at its own rhythm, and I just try to keep up.
Speaking of coffee, let me tell you something special. The beans grown here aren’t just any beans. They carry the soul of this land, nurtured at 1,700 meters above sea level and processed with the care only tradition can teach. Baristas and roasters around the world recognize the quality of the coffee, and our name has found its way into the cups of those who appreciate the finest.
Who I’m Looking For
I love good company, but farm life isn’t for everyone. It’s tough, physical work with early mornings and long days. If you know what that means and you’re up for the challenge, I’d be happy to welcome you.
Right now, I could really use help from people with real experience in:
Carpentry, masonry, painting, and other building trades (because things always need fixing around here)
Photography or video production (to help capture the magic of this place)
To keep things smooth and safe, I ask that all volunteers get an insurance (we will help) and make sure they’re in good standing to stay in Colombia.
No Surprises, Please
I like to plan ahead, so I don’t take walk-ins or last-minute requests. If you want to join me, reach out 4-8 weeks in advance, and we’ll figure out if it’s a good fit.
Think you’d be a good match? Let’s talk.
