Volunteer Program
The program is aimed at all people who want to come and acquire knowledge about sustainable living and regenerative agriculture by collaborating with the daily work we do at Alma Verde.
What to expect:
-
Learn basic concepts of permaculture, sustainable living, and regenerative agriculture
-
Working on hard tasks related to the field
-
The daily work depends on what the farm needs.
-
You can ask all the questions you want; we're happy to answer them if we can.
-
Sharing in an atmosphere of solidarity and camaraderie
-
Enjoying the food that the garden provides
-
Learning in a place where we truly strive to live sustainably
-
Learning through work (there will be no classes in a classroom)
-
The most important thing is that the participants have a good experience, regardless of the work they do on the farm.
