Project of permaculture and regenerative living. A living space for holistic learning that combines ecological farming (coffee, cocoa and orchards) with ethical animal husbandry (guinea pigs, chickens, and pigs).

The volunteer program at Finca La Mandarina is a living, hands-on learning and conscious community-building initiative aimed at environmental regeneration through permaculture. Based on the principles of caring for the Earth, caring for people, and fair sharing, participants actively collaborate in tasks of organic cultivation of coffee and cacao under shade, bioconstruction, responsible water management, and ethical animal husbandry. In exchange for their daily commitment and community spirit, the farm offers accommodation, healthy meals, and comprehensive hands-on training in a setting of cultural exchange and self-sustaining sovereignty.
🐾 Animal care: Help with the care and attention of the animals.

To ensure harmonious and smooth coexistence, participants commit to maintaining order and hygiene in the house, the kitchen, and common spaces after each use; treating the animals with empathy and patience, ensuring their daily feeding and hygiene; using water, carpentry tools, plumbing tools, and bioconstruction tools responsibly; and participating with punctuality, respect, and a collaborative spirit both in the farm's fieldwork and in the project's community life.
