🌱Ecological Farming Volunteer: Help Rebuild an Ecological Farm
The experience
After the La Soufriere volcanic eruption in 2021, we’re in the process of rebuilding and expanding our ecological farm. Right now, we’re working on setting up different areas of the farm, like banana forestry with coconuts, avocado, cacao, and other trees. We’re also expanding our passionfruit production and plantain production. We’re starting to grow our own feed, like black soldier flies lavae and dried fruit leaves.
