My sister and I (Maui) started this project to reach a dream of sustainability; we learn as we go, but we have also prepared very well to undertake this journey, with knowledge in permaculture, natural medicine and biology. We promise an enriching experience with us.
Currently at the space, only Maui resides.

Mostly we are Isaac (works with us) and me, plus all the people who come and go from the land, teachers, our parents, volunteers and friends. By staying with us we create a bond of friendship and respect.
We can offer you a shared room; it is for 3 volunteers at the same time, you need comfortable clothes to work, for cold, heat and rain.
If you want more privacy and your own space you can bring your own tent but it must be strictly rainproof.
We work in different aspects that integrate permaculture, mainly bioconstruction.

We offer 3 meals during the day plus fruit and water. On weekends or if we leave the ranch meals are on your account, unless otherwise indicated. You can use oil and spices to cook but on weekends we usually don't have much food, it's better to bring some ingredients.

Also we would appreciate help in the kitchen; if you like cooking this could be one of your main tasks, more than field work.
Regarding the news about Colima, we have lived here for almost 5 years and never felt in danger nor have we witnessed any crime. Being a very small state, any act of violence is very noticeable and that is why it is considered "dangerous".
Our family is from Colima and has never suffered from crime.
Also we are located in a very remote area from the city, where everyone knows each other and nothing ever happens, so consider this if you have doubts about safety.
For the month of August we are looking for a couple or individuals who feel comfortable staying alone at the ranch, preferably who have a driver's license and know how to drive an automatic car. I will travel for 15 days and we need someone who can take care of our animals, the space and occasionally clean the cabins we rent.
3 to 6 month stay: we are looking for people with experience in countryside living who are interested in being part of our activities. These may include maintenance and cleaning of our bungalows, natural building projects, and work in the vegetable garden. We are also open to creating projects related to skills you may already have. Couples are welcome. A driver’s license is preferred.

My stay was a wonderful experience! I am so happy that I ended up in that project. There is a lot to learn and Maui is a very Patient Person. The Place for itself is very special and the pets are making it feel even better. The work is not super easy but fair for what you will receive. Which is good and healthy food, nice people, and a beautiful landscape to indulge in and immerse and reflect yourself. I would recommend this place to everyone who is thinking about it!

I can't recommend this experience enough. Maui has created such a special environment at Rancho the project, dedicated to learning about sustainability while also living and working in a way that shows you how to practically embody these values. We worked hard, primarily on a bioconstruction project during my time there. We also spent plenty of time together enjoying the natural beauty on the ranch and nearby, as well as a couple of really fun trips to different locales and events. I met a lot of fantastic people here and I'm really glad I stopped by Rancho the project while in Mexico :)

Rancho el proyeto fue mi 1er voluntariado y la verdad estoy muy agradecida de que haya sido así. Maui e Isaac son un gran equipo, nos recibieron con mucha generosidad, compartimos muy lindos momentos de diálogo y recreación! El Rancho es un lugar rodeado de bellísima naturaleza, desde el poderoso volcán hasta mágicos cielos, cantos de pájaros y luciérnagas por la noche. Me encariñé con cada integrante de este bello proyecto! Y pues claro aprendí mucho sobre bioconstrucción y permacultura. Definitivamente volvería al Rancho y súper recomiendo vivir esta experiencia para re-conectarse!

El proyeto fue mi primer voluntariado y no le hubiera cambiado nada. El trabajo, por su naturaleza, es fuerte, pero aun siendo alguien que no tiene tantas capacidades físicas (o eso creía) me acompañaron con mucha paciencia y aprendi y logre muchas cosas. Se come muy rico, se disfruta de la naturaleza y la gente que conoces es hermosa. Quiero regresar 💖

Un lugar mágico, increíble experiencia, desde que comencé el contacto con Maui muy amable, atenta y servicial, me asesoro en todo el proceso para llegar, fue muy calida al recibirme, considerada en las actividades de esfuerzo físico, la armonía del lugar es grandiosa, la naturaleza, los animales, comidas sanas y deliciosas, ame el ambiente, conocer gente con la misma vibra, valores y objetivos. Definitivamente quiero volver a aprender más del Rancho, a nutrirme y aportar mucho más, sin duda lo recomiendo a todos, espero lo disfruten tanto como yo, compartan y se den la oportunidad de vivirlo.
