Dear Volunteers,
Welcome! Our project is a space for inspiration, learning, and research, dedicated to empowering local farmers through sustainable practices. We focus on growing permaculture crops like high-quality coffee, and we are looking for passionate volunteers who share a love for organic farming and permaculture.
We are a motivated team—Deepa, Thomas, Ama, Mangale, Bishal, Dinesh and Kedar (six Nepalese and one Norwegian)—passionate about farming and dedicated to creating positive change in our village.
With many people leaving rural areas to find work, our goal is to create local opportunities. We aim to lead by example and show how adapted organic farming can transform a community.
Our research and study farm is located in a beautiful region of the Himalayas, surrounded by fields, forests, and rich wildlife.
As an experimental farm, we focus on long-term sustainability. We work on developing seedlings adapted to changing climates, constantly trying out new crops, innovative projects, new processing methods.
We are seeking dedicated, proactive, and independent volunteers to join us in an exchange of ideas, knowledge, and hands-on work. To make the most of your time here, we look for volunteers who are:
• Motivated & Disciplined: Excited to contribute consistent energy and complete daily farm routines.
• Culturally Curious: Eager to communicate, connect with the local community, and participate in a meaningful cultural exchange.
It takes time to settle into the rhythm of the farm, absorb the surrounding nature, and enjoy a genuine learning experience. For this reason, we ask for a minimum commitment of 2 weeks. (If you are interested in a longer stay, we welcome you to join us for an initial 2 weeks, after which we can discuss extending your stay together!)
Kindly visit our website for detailed information about seasons, travel info etc.

Work from day to day may vary a lot, depending on the time of year. You will be working with Nepalese and living closely with us during your stay.
There’s lots of opportunity to watch the way we work, to try engaging with language and communicating in other ways, and you can see the general lifestyle of village.
We recommend that volunteers be very proactive to have the experience they seek during their time here. If you want to apprentice someone, learn a specific skill, please ask any of us and don’t be shy!
Tasks that may be given to volunteers include: weeding, cutting grass, tree care, tree planting, compost making, construction, help around living quarters, watering, nursery work, coffee, fruits picking and processing.
The workday will be 09.00 to 12.00 and 14.00 to 16.00. 5 days a week.
It's possible to work 15 hours a week 09.00 to 12.00 (USD 9 per day)

House Rules & Expectations:
To keep our living environment peaceful and respectful for everyone, we ask volunteers to follow a few simple guidelines:
• Be friendly, respectful, and on time for work. Shared household tasks (sweeping, washing dishes, cleaning shared facilities) are split among everyone.
• Please keep mobile phones turned off or in your room during work hours.
• Lower voices starting at 8:00 PM, with strict quiet time from 10:00 PM. We prefer all volunteers to return to the compound before dark.
• We maintain a strictly alcohol-free home and farm.
• Shorts and sleeveless tops are fine for both men and women on the farm. Shoes are not permitted inside or under covered patio areas, so please bring easy slip-on sandals or slippers.
