Detalhes

Descrição
We are a coffee farm in Manizales, Colombia. We run a very cool place, near to the city but far enough to get lost on your own thoughts.
We have 6 old houses, that are representative of the UNESCO's recognized "Coffee Cultural Landscape".
Our farm is small enough to be seen in just one day, but so complex in biodiversity that one full year will not be long enough to really discover it.
We use the traditional method of coffee growing, and processing. All our coffee is grown 1700 mts. or more above sea level.

We welcome volunteers that understand that working at a farm is a demanding job, with odd hours and very physical.
We want people with REAL experience in carpentry, masonry, painting and any other building skill. You must provide proof of insurance and a good status to be in the country.
People with REAL experience in photography or video are also welcome.

Sorry, short notice or walk ins are not appreciated. We plan our needs 4-8 weeks in advance.

I had a really nice experience working at the farm. The time Sofia and some of the other farm workers gave explaining the history and vision of the farm brought the experience together well.

My stay was about 10 days with two other people. We got a taste of harvesting, field prep, tree care, post-processing, and context on the social situation… read more

This was by far one of the best volunteering experiences that we ever had. Visiting the Café, in short, was a way to plunge head first into the rich coffee culture of Colombia. Set up picture perfectly in the magnificent highlands of Colombia, this farm allows its visitors to experience history, culture, hospitality and most importantly the best… read more

Wow! What an absolutely incredible experience! I cannot say enough about this Workaway! My friend and I stayed here for 1 week, and we wish we could’ve stayed longer! Efrain and the whole family that run this coffee farm are incredible! From day 1, it was like we were a part of a warm, loving family! Everyone is so friendly and helpful! We… read more learned so much about the intricate process of making a delicious cup of coffee! And boy, is it a process! I had no idea how many steps are involved and how important each variable is! So it was very interesting to learn all about coffee! Everyone on the coffee farm was wonderful! They really wanted to teach us, and they took the time to show us and explain everything. Then we got to do the work first-hand, which helped us learn even more! We got to experience the harvesting, sorting, washing, fermenting, drying, and packing of the coffee! The work on a coffee farm is hard work, but since I was so interested in learning about it, it really didn’t feel like work! However, since the houses and coffee trees are all on a hill, we got a good workout each day and were tired each night! We enjoyed talking to the family, relaxing in the hammocks, and petting the dogs and cats in the main house! And of course, the coffee that we got to drink was so delicious! The coffee farm itself and the surrounding area of the Colombian coffee region are absolutely beautiful! Full of gorgeous nature and breathtaking views! In addition to working on the coffee farm, we explored the nearby town Manizales, met more of the family, and watched soccer games together! Everyone was excited to share their culture and teach us about Colombia! Some logistical notes – although you can eat 3 meals at the farm, you may want to bring a few snacks. There are no stores near the coffee farm, but every time Efrain went to town, he offered to bring us, and then we got more snacks as needed! Also, there is wifi at the main house, which is impressive since the coffee farm is up in the hills! But the wifi goes in and out, understandably. We were grateful for the wifi when we had it though! At the end our visit, we had such a good experience, and wanted something to remember the coffee farm by. We were glad to learn that they have T-shirts with the cool logo, and bags of coffee for sale! It was so great to bring the coffee home to share with my family, and I also now have a new favorite T-shirt! I am beyond grateful for this experience and wholeheartedly recommend this Workaway!

We stayed there for 10 days and helped with the whole coffee processing and also with building a place to dry the coffee later. Ivanov and his family and also all the workers there with their families are wonderful people and we enjoyed it very much to spend our time with them... Sleeping in a house surrounded by the jungle was also amazing.
