  Description

  We are a Chilean-Israeli family, Susana and Tom, and our babies are Nila and Ilai! Nila is 3 years old and ilai is 1 year old🥰, we moved to Chile 5 years ago after meeting in Colombia while we were both traveling and sometimes doing volunteer work.
  We live in San Fabian de alico, a little paradise in the Andes mountain with rivers and native forest, only 6 hours south from Santiago. San Fabián is surrounded by the Corredor Biológico Nevados de Chillán-Laguna del Laja, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. There's a lot of outdoor activities here like trekking,rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, horse backriding, etc.
  
  We moved in April 2024 to a big property (30 acres) with its own forest and river inside the property, only 2,5 kilometers away from the village. Its very beautiful here, and we are trying to set up the place slowly with more plants, food forest and exotic trees, and hopefully more animals soon.
  We are slowly starting a project with home made products such as kombucha, sourkraut, sourdough bread, fermented yogurth, tempeh, cheeses from raw milk, and pretty much any experiment with food or plants. We love to preserve food and eat the food we make at home. We are also experimenting with edible mushrooms, having very good results with the oyster mushroom.
  At the moment we are very busy with our babies which give us very limited time to make other things, so any help is super welcome!
  
  Susana enjoys so much everything about home birth (both of our children were born at home) parenthood, womenhood, women circles… she also enjoys to make natural medicine with local plants and also natural candles and soaps.
  
  Tom loves to play music from around the world he plays guitar and piano and he sings. He is starting to make his own little studio to record his music.
  We both really like to study about shamanism, rites, music and ceremonies from tribes around the world

  Somos una falilia Chilena-Israelí, Susana y Tom, y nuestros bebes Ilai y Nila. Ilai tiene 1 año y Nila 3 años. Nos mudamos a Chile hace 5 años después de conocernos en Colombia viajando y a veces haciendo trabajo voluntario.
  En abril del año pasado nos mudamos a un terreno grande (17 hectareas) con su propio bosque y rio! Es super hermoso aca, y estamos tratando de iniciar lentamente un bosque comestible, mas plantas y arboles exóticos. También mas animales pronto ya que solo tenemos 2 perros.
  Estamos empezando nuestro proyecto con productos caseros como:
  Kombucha, chukrut, pan de masa madre, yogur griego fermentado, quesos, y realmente cualquier experimento con comida y plantas. Nos encanta preservar comida y comer nuestra propia comida. También estamos experimentado con hongos comestibles, estamos teniendo muy buenos resultados con el hongo ostra.
  Por el momento estamos super ocupados con nuestros bebes, lo que nos consume casi todo el tiempo por lo que cualquier ayuda es super bienvenida!
  
  Susana disfruta mucho hablar de partos y de nacimientos (nuestros dos hijos nacieron en casa), crianza respetuosa, y circulos de mujeres. También disfruta mucho haciendo jabones naturales, velas de cera de abeja y hacer medicina natural.
  
  Tom disfruta mucho la musica, le encanta la musica del mundo, toca guitarra, piano y tambien canta. Esta empezando a equipar su mini estudio de música donde podra grabar
  
  A los dos nos gusta mucho estudiar el chamanismo, ritos, musica y ceremonias de pueblos ancestrales

  Aide

  We need help with the property, clean the garden, making treks inside the forest of the property, planting trees, weeding, cleaning the house, help with the children while we are doing stuff at home, as well as helping us to make fermented foods or preserve food (we do it mostly in summertime which is the month with more fruits and vegetables to keep it for the whole year around) But every season has its own beauty with its own goodies :)
  This summer season (dec 2025 - march 2026) we want to set up a chicken house, a big vegetable garden and hopefully a green house.
  We basically need help in anything we do that suits you better, we are open to see how we accommodate you better.
