Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Oaxaca is a beautiful place with a lot of culture around.
There is a great deal to see in and around the city, also Oaxaca has arguably the best cuisine in Latin America. If you're in the mood for a cooking class you can assist Mike in to a cooking class day and you can be part of the cooking class some day during your staying.
For sure mike can teach you separately how to cook some Oaxacan traditional meals to enjoy and in a future, and you can cook it at home or wherever you be. There are also a plethora of craft villages, several top notch Zapotec and Mixtec (pre-Hispanic) ruins, colonial churches, great restaurants, and language institutes for learning Spanish, a wonderful central square (zócalo), Old World charm, tons of delicious street food, restaurants, and dance salsa, merengue and cumbia, etc, etc, etc.
Or, if you are into the sports you can join us to training at the pool, the track, the climbing gym or the mountain. There are tons of activities to do around.

Hi folks!
Before anything, we have to say "Thank you so much!!" to all the previous workawayers who helped us to create, improve, and make the little farm a better place. Now, it is time to evolve. So, we need volunteers who can stay at least for 3 or 4 weeks. The idea of this is to have someone to help us to improve the place and manage the on going projects in a regular way. So many things happening at the same time….
So, at the moment, we need volunteers who have knowledge/skills in digital marketing, graphic design, farming, gardening, construction, general mantainece etc. so, all together we can continue improving the new eco farm and also improving the pump track and all the place
We also need people who are talented in marketing and communication to help with advertising the space. Website designers, social media marketers etc. etc.
The farm is an on going project, so knowledge of agriculture, especially organic growing/spin farming/ permaculture/ animal care etc. is always welcome. we have 2 pigs, 2 goats, lots of chickens, 1 duck, 1 rabbit and family alwais is growing..
.
Some upcoming projects on the farm include; seeding, transplanting, building raised beds, building an irrigation system, helping to feed/clean to the animals, etc, etc
As well as this, there is always routine work to do on the little farm e.g. looking after the animals, landscaping, weeding, harvesting, etc. Everything depends on the season and all of this is in a small production. (sometimes starting form scratch)
With some of the products that we collect, we can cook some jam, just eat them or use them for the cooking classes when it is needed. we also have 5 dogs, 2 cats.
So, there is a wide variety of projects to choose from and you are free to pick something that interests you to work on while you are here

Alojamiento
We are offering a small shared nice rustic cozy cabin with a single mattress bunk bed, with electricity, simple shower with a wood water heater and a flush toilet. Also we have almost finished to built an outdoor kitchen and bar for the next workawayers, so you can have your own kitchen with a fridge and 2 burners stove for your own use.
We're located 15/25 minutes away from Oaxaca down town depending what time you are moving, or 10 to 15 minutes by bicycle.
The bus stop is 3 minutes walking, market, supermarket, mini-stores and laundry 3 minutes walking, basically you can find everything that you need in less than 250m around.
2 meals for the day
The place is a small ranch, it is an oasis in the middle of the city.
Algo más...
There are tons of activities to do around. We have a little bit of something for everyone. If you are into cultural activities, learning Spanish or practicing your English, dancing, museums, restaurants, galleries, outdoor sports, cooking or just having a cool experience you will love it. Especially if you like or are in to climbing, swimming, running, mountain biking, exploring and traveling around. Oaxaca is surrounded by amazing mountains...We are sure you're gonna love it.
