    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Oaxaca is a beautiful place with a lot of culture around.
    There is a great deal to see in and around the city, also Oaxaca has arguably the best cuisine in Latin America.

    For sure I can teach you how to cook some Oaxacan traditional meals to enjoy and in a future, and you can cook it at home or wherever you be. There are also a plethora of craft villages, several top notch Zapotec and Mixtec (pre-Hispanic) ruins, colonial churches, great restaurants, and language institutes for learning Spanish, a wonderful central square (zócalo), Old World charm, tons of delicious street food, restaurants, and dance salsa, merengue and cumbia, etc, etc, etc.
    Or, if you are into the sports you can join me to training at the pool, the track, the climbing gym or the mountain. There are tons of activities to do around.

    Hi folks!

    Before anything, we have to say "Thank you so much to all the previous workawayers who helped us to create, improve, and make the little farm a better place. Now, it is time to evolve. So, we need volunteers who can stay at least for 1 or 2 weeks. The idea of this is to have someone to help us to improve the web site, google, Facebook ads and everything related to social media to reach more audice and guests

    We also need people who are talented in marketing and communication to help with advertising this place- Website designers, social media marketers and proper knowledge on squarespace etc. etc.

    The farm is an on going especially with organic growing/spin farming/ permaculture/ animals etc. we have 2 pigs, 4 goats, lots of chickens, 10 ducks, 6 rabbit, 1 donkey and family is allways is growing..
    .
    if is in you r interest, As well as this, there is always routine work to do on the little farm e.g. looking after the animals, landscaping, weeding, harvesting, etc. Everything depends on the season and all of this is in a small production. (sometimes starting form scratch)

    With some of the products that we collect, we can cook some jam, just eat them or use them for the cooking classes when it is needed. we also have 5 dogs, 2 cats.

    but basically we need more help with advertising
