Hello everyone. I’m a retired nurse and, together with my husband, we’re building a farm in southern Colombia that aims to be self-sufficient and environmentally friendly.
Our daily routine revolves around planting lemon, cocoa and banana trees first in pots and then in the ground. We also have chickens and will soon have pigs.
The 170m² house, built in 2023, meets all standards (hot and cold water), with 110V electricity, solar power and Starlink internet. The cuisine is French-style, using produce available in southern Colombia.
Our leisure activities centre on yoga, meditation, reading and interacting with the local community.
Bonjour les amis. Je suis infirmiere a la retraite et avec mon mari nous construisons une ferme dans le sud de la Colombie qui se veut autonome et respectueuse de l'environnement.
L'activité quotidienne tourne autour de la plantation de citronniers, Cacao, bananiers... en pots puis en pleine terre. Nous avons aussi des poules et bientôt des porcs.
La maison construite en 2023 de 170m2 respecte les normes (eau chaude eau froide) courant 110v énergie solaire et internet Starlink. La cuisine est de type française avec les produit disponibles dans le sud de la Colombie.
Les loisirs sont autour de la pratique du yoga, de la méditation de la lecture et de l'échange avec la communauté

3 Activities:
1) Yoga, Sophrology, meditation, relaxation
Every morning we practice yoga, sophrology, meditation, and relaxation (one or more). Alexandra is a nurse and clinical sophrologist.
2) Sharing knowledge about medicinal plants, food crops, green manure, planting techniques in the equatorial zone, and interactions with farm animals.
3) San Agustín Archaeological Park. We’ll take a 4-hour drive to visit the San Agustín Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest site of pre-Columbian carved stones in Latin America.
It is up to each person to have their own experience; we are not teachers with a set curriculum that must be mastered to earn a diploma. Each person, at their own stage of curiosity and spiritual growth, will experience this moment that we are about to share. This can range from simply discovering the silence of nature to a state of full awareness or an interest in the relationship between humans and animals.
Interacting with Workaway participants:
It depends on each individual participant: Some are afraid of nature, insects, or wild animals, while others feel more at ease; some feel lost in the wilderness, while others appreciate the silence. Depending on each person’s ability to adapt and understand their surroundings, we will support them and spend time with them.
We will share our daily life, the day includes several key activities.
Yoga, meditation, and sophrology
Meal preparation
Meals
Personal hygiene
Evening activities
Work in the fields and on the farm
Bedtime
In any case, we will follow these daily routines, and we will spend time with our guests to explain what we are doing and invite them to join us.
On the farm, there is a vision of living self-sufficiently within a community. The rules of sharing, mutual aid, and communication differ from those of market-driven society. Knowledge exists on multiple levels: the relationship with oneself (yoga, meditation), the relationship with nature (farm work), and the relationship with others (community meals).

The project:
We have a 6-hectare farm on which we are looking to develop a project.
A) The project
We would like to keep dairy cows (Holstein crossbreeds) on a zero-grazing system. (Tropical rains during the wet season – April to July – damage the soil when trampled by cattle.
B) 2 stages
The first stage would be to build a barn with a feed fence and space for a milking parlour, and to clear 4 hectares to test the sowing of various plants.
The second stage will be to acquire heifers, rear them on a zero-grazing system and milk them from their first calving.
What we are looking for: one or more people willing to live in Colombia for a few months to help us with this project (board and lodging provided).

Le projet:
Nous avons la ferme que de 6 hectares sur laquelle nous cherchons a développer un projet.
A) le projet
Nous voudrions avoir des vaches laitières (holstein croisées) en zéro pâturage. (Les pluies tropicales en saison humide - avril à juillet - mettent à mal les sols lorsqu'ils sont piétiné par les bovins.
B) 2 étapes
La première étape serait de construire une stabulation avec cornadi et espace pour salle de traite et de débroussailler 4 hectares pour tester les semis des différentes plantes.
La deuxième étape sera d'acquérir les génisses et de les nourrir en zéro pâturage et de les traire dès la première mise bas.
Ce que nous recherchons : une ou plusieurs personnes prêt a vivre quelque mois en Colombie pour nous aider a faire ce projet (nourrit logé défrayé).

Alojamiento
The 170m² house, built in 2023, complies with all relevant standards (hot and cold water), has 110V electricity, solar power and Starlink internet. The kitchen is French-style, featuring produce available in southern Colombia.
Breakfast is served at the start of the day.
Breakfast consists of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, bread, butter, jam, ham, cheese, fresh fruit, honey, and cereal. It is a hearty and substantial meal.
This meal is eaten after the yoga/sophrology session around 7:00 a.m.

Vegetable soup

Coffee, herbal tea, or tea
Dinner
Herbal tea (and a cookie for those who find it hard to make do with just herbal tea) followed by a yoga/sophrology session
Meals are eaten together, at the same table, using the same dishes. Pastries and bread are made on the farm, and guests are invited to participate in this work.
Hydration is key, as humidity is close to 100% and temperatures range between 26 and 32 degrees Celsius. Take several breaks throughout the day to stay hydrated. A guest should drink at least 3 liters per day, depending on how much they sweat.
2 showers per day: 11:45 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.
