Do you enjoy outdoors and some good labor intensive work? Then look no further, we are offering you the perfect chance to take part in a one of a kind volunteering program, living harmoniously with the environment around! Why not work on this real-life farm and gain new knowledge and skills regarding crop cultivation, animal care, organic farming, and authentic production techniques.
Objectives:
This informative 4-week program combines the chance to volunteer on a working farm with learning about the principles of organic farming and permaculture. It is set up as an educational farm, so as a part of your orientation you will do the self-guided farm tour across 30 information stations to get some first-hand experience of new and exciting farming methods which are bound to change the world around us for generations to come. So, if the idea of working outdoors, understanding plant cultivation and revolutionary ways of food production, and assisting in a worldwide effort to create a more sustainable future appeals to you, this is the project for you!
The morning and afternoon have different duties: Morning duties focus on agriculture. Afternoon duties focus on work within the local community, building, maintenance, and administrative tasks
Regular morning projects include natural fertilizing, sowing seeds, planting, weed and pest control, composting, caring for animals, and recycling of organic and non-organic waste.
Regular afternoon projects consist of construction tasks, painting murals, organization of information panels, infrastructure upkeep, maintenance of paths and trails, marmalade making, sauces and vinegars, communication and social networking (according to your interests).
Working hours are from Monday to Friday between 8.30am-12pm and 1.30pm-4pm.
There are a number of exciting free-time activities to enjoy on the Pacific Coast of Ecuador
Unlike neighboring countries, Ecuador is relatively small geographically. Therefore heading off to explore “more far away” destinations is very achievable and in a small amount of time, once you’ve finished your camp work.
Shared dorm rooms or in bungalows are available and the camp has the following facilities:
Dorm-style accommodation is available on the farm for all volunteers (2 to 12 people). You can also upgrade to their simple but very comfortable bamboo and straw cabañas for an extra charge. All accommodation includes either mosquito nets or screens, power outlets, and either a shared or private bathroom with a solar-powered shower (each unit has its own unique layout). Please be aware that as you will be staying in the jungle, you may receive the odd insect visitor in your room!
Three delicious wholesome meals are served daily and shared with all guests. The ingredients are picked fresh from the farm, although a few ingredients are delivered from towns in the area. Vegetarian and vegan meals are served for most of the meals, although occasionally fish or chicken is on the menu! The farm can cater for any special dietary requirements if we are notified in advance. Red meat is not served.
There is filtered water served on the farm, and fresh bottled water is on offer across Ecuador. Please bring your own reusable water bottle to avoid plastic waste.

+ € 150,00 – Start your placement any Sunday of the month
+ € 250,00 – Chose your own start dates and change them up to 3 times before your trip.*
