The Experience

Our farm produces organic goat milk and cheese, dulce de leche, ricotta, and yogurt. We also produce eggs, vegetables, poultry, jams, and compost. You will learn about the importance of the care and love we give to all our animals in the final product. You will see the full process of how you can produce your own food in an agroecological, organic way. Between March and July we do not produce milk.

I had a great experience at the farm, both Katrin and Sile are great hosts and really welcoming, the work was explained clearly and katrin always cleared up anything that I didn’t understand. I learned a lot about the local life with Katrin giving me lots of opportunities to mix with locals and go to events. I really enjoyed my time and would highly recommend to others.

First volontary with WorldPacker was with Katrin and it couldn't have been in a better place. This farm is super nice, calm, and Katrin is a very good teacher. From cleaning the goat's poop to making cheese, while also helping with some fixing, social media, markets, or in the kitchen during events, you won't be bored and you'll be able to learn about various topics/tasks. She is very punctual and always makes sure that you don't do more than 5hours a day, which i liked. Katrin, thank you so much for your kindness, your patience and for sharing some of your knowledge, I really had a good time!

Even though I only spent a week at Katrin's farm, I was warmly welcomed, and the time flew by. If you enjoy being in nature and spending time with animals, this is the perfect place for you. I look forward to coming back someday.

You really get what you signed up for at Katrin's place. And I mean that in the best way possible. The atmosphere at the farm is welcoming and the tasks you perform feel meaningful and really connect you with nature. It's the perfect opportunity to get down to earth if you come from a busy place like Santiago or just immerse yourself with animals and people alike. Katrin is a warm-hearted host and it feels like you're part of the project and not like you're just a bystander helping here and there. I recommend anyone to come here that wants to experience the local culture and nature of Chile.
