Program Details
We are a farm that works to achieve self-sustainability, applying methods of food production based on soil regeneration, sustainability, and animal welfare. 🌱
We are looking for volunteers interested in learning ways to produce food that differ from industrial, traditional, and extractivist models.
Our system prioritizes environmental sustainability, animal welfare, the quality of the products, and the health of people and the environment, above profitability and high levels of production.
During your experience you will be able to learn and participate in our daily activities, sharing knowledge and experiences.
From our side, you can expect kind treatment, patience, and commitment to teach you what we know how to do. We are also open to learning and incorporating new knowledge that our volunteers want to share with us.
Activities & Shift
The main activities include:
• Farm animal care.
• Handling pigs in silvopasture systems.
• Milking cows and making dairy products.
• Grazing of cattle.
• Cultivation and harvesting of food in our garden.
• Preparation of compost and bio-inputs.
• Participation in activities related to soil regeneration.
Collaboration hours:
We prefer to carry out activities in the mornings, from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
However, we can adapt the schedule to your needs when possible.
Note that some tasks, such as milking and feeding the animals, must be performed at specific times, while other activities offer greater flexibility.

Therefore, we ask:
• Do not smoke inside rooms or in common areas.
• Do not practice nudity.
