Because of Federico´s current economic situation, he is not able to provide every meal for his volunteers. People should plan to contribute to common meals in a shared kitchen. Fresh food from the garden is provided, and free will donations from volunteers go towards the rest of the food needed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as supporting the development of the project.

All accommodations for volunteers are on a first-come, first-serve basis. We have a covered area for camping, as well as a few spaces for tents in the garden.
