Centro Permacultor Otontechutli Xocotl

Right now we are working on:
- Installation of an irrigation system.
- Cleaning and rearrangement of maguey for pulque production.
- Arranging and designing orchards and gardens on the farm.
- Expansion of the electrical and hydraulic networks
- Fitting out and design of a mobile stall to turn it into a fixed stall.
- Construction of bathrooms for customers and tenants of the farm.
We need help with
- Construction
- Planting
- Fencing
- Harvest
- Animal care
- Household cleaning
- Food preparation
- Dishwashing
- Weed removal
- Etc.

We work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off; the work is mostly outdoors (in the sun); it is recommended to bring sunscreen.

*We do not serve meals on days off

We need people with enthusiasm, who believe in the potential of our project, who bring us new ideas and help turn the ideas in progress into reality; there is still a lot to do, we are just getting started.
We are looking for people willing to stay for a long period, with experience in permaculture and with the desire to learn with us and with the passion to help other people.

We are a new project in the process of ecological transition; if what you are looking for is a 100% ecological center, this place is not for you.

At Centro Permacultor Otontecuhtli Xöcotl, we are building a community on our farm. We are located in Jocotitlán, State of Mexico (118 km or about 1.5 hours from CDMX). The town lies at the foot of the sacred mountain Xocotepetl, surrounded by forest. We are seeking a financially self-sufficient model that is inclusive with nature.

Our long-term intention is to transform the finca into a space dedicated to selling traditional regional foods and drinks (quelites, maguey worms, maguey flower, a bit of tequila, etc.). To this end we are rehabilitating a maguey plantation for pulque production (a traditional Mexican drink); we have a small orchard that we want to improve and expand, we have animals (bulls, chickens, turkeys, lambs, rabbits) our guard dogs — oh! Not forgetting Félix and Carlota, a pair of very adorable cats.
