Granja Patagónica

you will have a direct connection with nature and Patagonian crops; the experience is hard work, but rewarding to prepare the cultivation site and produce food with your hands. you should take into account that the jobs are given according to what the seasons of the year allow us; some months, such as autumn and winter, are only for routine tasks: cleaning, pruning, soil preparation, cutting and storing firewood, repairs, cleaning the yard and the facilities, snow removal, keeping the spaces of our animals clean, spring weeding, planting, irrigation, summer harvests, and all of the above.
you will also be able to enjoy walks around the city and its surroundings after the workday, since we are located very close to the city.

you will be part of the house; we share lunches together, as well as moments of music and sometimes board games; it all also depends on the willingness of the volunteers who have the freedom to come and go in their free hours, having the kitchen at their disposal, but also the responsibility to keep the common spaces tidy; all our facilities have been built with care and that is how we try to maintain them for each of the volunteers who choose to come home; we are in the process of becoming a sustainable property; we have solar panels so electricity use is careful; implementation of gray water, which is why we request the use of laundry soaps and shampoo that do not contaminate the soil; now we are moving toward dry toilets, inside and outside the house, which means not throwing papers into the toilet. You will be asked to take care of the tools and work implements such as clothing, gloves or others used, leaving them clean and stored in the place designated for them. This is the lifestyle of several people in my family; it is not a farm for pleasure but a business, hence a job done with love and respect, which must be profitable to be sustained over time.

Patti is very kind and welcomes you. At work, attention is paid to the number of hours. Only Spanish is spoken. I was quite a beginner, Patricia was very patient and spoke very slowly. I really like animals!

Paty is an excellent person, very kind and hardworking. It was an incredible experience we had here, the interaction with the animals, with the other exchange students and with the daily tasks. Surely an experience that we will carry with us for life. Thank you very much, Paty 😊

My first volunteer experience, excellent, Pati is very loving and flexible, I arrived very early on the first day and she allowed me to sleep so I could start with my tasks, the house was warm and the sleeping area comfortable, obviously keeping the house warm is a benefit for everyone and everyone's responsibility, outside of the tasks, I recommend visiting Pati, her farm has a lot of work and for that reason a lot to learn, in my life I had never seen El Calafate, and in two weeks I learned to work it to make jam and liqueur, highly recommended and I would definitely return at another opportunity ❤️

What a wonderful experience it was to spend time with Pati on her farm, sharing knowledge about how to make jams, learning to manage the strawberry plantation, and also taking care of the animals I love so much.

I will miss the lambs Sergio and Lucila, and Odi, my kitchen partner.

Thank you very much for welcoming me with so much warmth, Pati. See you very soon 🤍
