About
The work will include construction, feeding the animals, planting seeds, soil conservation, maintenance of medical plants, producing and using organic fertilizer, maintaining the spring-water wells, and harvesting crops. Each morning you will find a whiteboard with the day’s tasks. The work is at times challenging, but volunteers have invariably found it stimulating and rewarding. There are several projects on which the volunteers will be working while at Finca La Gran Vista. These include
- Soil remediation
- Medicinal herb plot
- Solar dryer
- Terrace construction and maintenance
- Vegetable plot
- Biogas production
- Frog pond
- Fish pond
