Stay at a biodynamic sustainable community and farm!!

We are several people who work and luve in community, google neverland farm! Hans speaks spanish and german. Tina speaks spanish and english. Patricio speaks only spanish but understands all languages, mysteriously enough! Several Ecuadorian men and women and families work with us, so the dominant language is Spanish. No worries, you will pick it up quickly- some of our helpers also like trading english, french, german, whatever, for spanish lessons. But you do have to go and work with them in the garden or field or on the mountain to learn! All really nice people, fun, and good teachers.

Ths is a Biodynamic farm in the Andes with the idea of living in an ‘earth first’ manner. We are an intentional community, albeit a highly transient one! We host people from all over the world with the intent of teaching the manera antigua, the old ways of farming in Ecuador, and biodynamic agriculture and we offer a community living experience in a sustainable and healthy environment.

Expectations:

We are about living young, not too many rules (2) and play for work is the norm. Work is shared by all and is usually FUN (the more the merrier), although we DO work hard, often in the sun (bring a hat and gloves if you can).HEY- THIS WEEK (mid July, 2012) EVERYONE HERE IS GETTING THE CHANCE TO LEARN HOW TO WEAVE A SUGAR CANE LEAF ROOF ON OUR NEW LITTLE HOUSE!!We have a fairly constant stream of volunteers and students coming and going, so I have decided to ask everyone to try to drop me a line when you are coming, and if you come earlier or without notice, please bring a cheese or 2 pounds of meat or some chocolate or something, everyone loves treats! And if you must just show up, well, we will find a place for you somewhere, no worries. Whether we are harvesting cafe', gardening, weeding, creating a rock and cob hot tub (this is progressing vveeerry VERY slowly), milking goats or doing the loads of animal care, we are having fun, not exhausting ourselves too much and treading lightly on the earth. Garden work is a constant, with Hans, our German garden journalizer and manager asking us all to join in the garden for daily chores at 8am. Hans is a permanent member at here, an older German man. Any German books on biodynamic agriculture, especially those works of Maria Thun, are especially welcome!

Food:

I'm kind of way into food. We roast and grind our own cafe, hand grind wheat to make bread, milk and make cheeses and kiefer. We enjoy huge meals, both preparing meals all together in a large and well equipped kitchen and sharing meal times at large community tables. We have vegetarian and meat diet available daily.
