The experience

We continue among plantings 🌾, management practices, bioconstructions 🛠️, and celebrations 🎉. Each day unveiling a new page of the great book of nature that dwells in and around us. The work in agriculture reminds us of the importance of observing in order to act. Agroecology, as science, practice, and movement, teaches us that, through unity, we can amplify our knowledge and know-how, creating a more sustainable and meaningful future!

Program Details

We are a space under construction and transformation. Therefore, volunteering involves activities focused on maintaining the plantings in our garden and the seedling nursery, site area management, bioconstruction activities, and the harmonization of the spaces.


Activities & Shift

The main working hours for the plantings are in the morning, when garden management, watering, and seedling preparation take place. Depending on demand, some construction, repairs, and organizing activities may occur. Being a collective space, cleaning and organizing the house are part of the daily routine and do not count toward the volunteer activities schedule.
