Desde 2020 tengo un proyecto de permacultura en las montañas del Sec. Jagüeyes, Bo. Aguacate, Yabucoa (Puerto Rico).
Con la ayuda de voluntarios sembré 90 diferentes plantas en un terreno de más de una cuerda (4,000+ m2). WorkAway | WorldPackers | WWOOF USA | Contacto directo
Aquí unas impresiones del campo y de la comida.
[For HOUSE RULES scroll down.]
HOUSE RULES (as listed under WorkAway/Worldpackers, also applicable for WWOOFers):
- All meals are taken together, even if you don’t want to eat, as we have conversations and plan our day/week during meals.
– Breakfast around 6:30am (so we can be out at 7/7:30am)
– Lunch around 12/12:30md
– Dinner around 6/6:30pm.
No phones during meals. - The requested 25 hrs/week can be broken up into one morning shift of 5 hours, or (preferably) into two shifts, in order to avoid the hottest hours between 11am and 3pm. Nature knows no weekends, but you can let me know which days you’d like to take off, and if you prefere working five, six or seven days. I appreciate if you are flexible with the working days and hours, as we have to respond to weather and emergencies.
- Gender equal household: All clean, wash clothes and dishes, help according to their abilities. Same goes for field work.
- Drug and smoke free environment: On special occasions we might open a bottle of wine, and you can buy your own beer if we eat out (which might happen once every two weeks).
- Three plant-based meals are provided. Bring your own snacks. Fridge space is very limited. No food/snacks in the rooms.
- Please keep your music and (phone) conversations low or find an outdoors spot for them (i.e. the Banana Shed or Fano’s Shed). Bring your headphones, if you like to listen to music or watch movies on your laptops. Enjoy quietness and peace and nature’s sounds – especially when out in the fields.
- Please be considerate of the ressources (water, electricity, gas, …). Turn off lights and fans when not in use, keep the gas flame low, keep your showers short, make sure the machine is well loaded before washing clothes.
- We wash early on sunny days so the clothes can dry in the sun.
- Respect the environment by recycling, composting, not generating food waste.
- Use the proper tools for all tasks and keep them clean and stored after work.
- Hang wet and damp stuff before putting it in the hamper.
Additional information: - We are off the beaten tracks. No public transportation. Limited/expensive Uber/taxi (no guaranteed service).
- Whenever possible – realistically every second or third week – I’ll take you to see a natural reserve or another nearby attraction. The longer you stay, the more likely you’ll get to enjoy a little tour. But I suggest you take your Puerto Rican holiday before or after your farmstay.
