Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Travellers on the farm have the opportunity to spend time around el macanal river in San Rafael, Antioquia--getting to know a small community of Colombians and immigrants living in the Antioquian mountains. We are trying new farming techniques, new types of construction and in general trying to learn new things as often as possible.

Ajuda
--Looking for musicians, artists, photographers and nice people to come and spend some time on our farm in-between San Rafael and San Carlos Antioquia!
--Looking for photographers to help with the publicity and documentation for our project!
As many of our volunteer oportunities will change with the season as well as with the skills a volunteer brings to the table, it is a bit difficult to describe the daily tasks of all volunteers. That said, we expect 5 hours of good help five days a week! -

To say the property was beautiful, the food was delicious and Jesse was amazing would all be understatements! Had a very restful two weeks helping around the gardens here, swimming in the river and just hanging out enjoying nature. Jesse was easy going, helpful and always so great to chat too! I hope to come back and help out again sometime soon
