The Work

The work on the farm is varied and generally orientated towards manual tasks. Here is a small playlist of our recent helpers working on our farm. Please ask any questions you may have regarding the work undertaken with us on our farm. We are always happy to explain any aspect in more detail.

Availability

This is a general calendar (iCal link). In any case, no matter what the calendar below states, we always ask that you contact us to check availability. We also like to accommodate any requests where possible.

Getting To Us

Our farm is situated near an interdepartmental highway. Arriving at the farm is relatively easy from Bogotá and many other cities across Colombia. The journey to our farm should only be made once you have explicit confirmation of your stay from us. Below is a map detailing multiple transport options and important places around our farm and nearby town. But more detailed instructions can be provided in our communications.

What Else?

Our farm has some idyllic views across the region and some nice walks. We do work hard but there is also more than plenty of time to go on adventures nearby.  The road by our farm takes you easily to a great selection of nearby towns (Sasaima, Guaduas and Honda) all have a historical colonial past with blissful weather as well. Take a look at our map and click on the Nearby Towns category, all of which make a fine day trip or even overnight adventures from our farm. We are more than happy to show you around our nearest town of Villeta one morning. The Town Square, old station and railway, as well as a beautiful series of waterfalls where you can take a quick swim to cool down are all nice places of interest here.

Other Farms

We are in contact with two of our nearest hosting farms which we are happy to recommend. They would be great alternatives to us in our general area when we are booked out or otherwise unable to host you.
