Hola woofers. Soy Pedro y estoy a cargo de una finca de 13 cuerdas con un lago. Es un proyecto de permacultura que está empezando. La finca está en Barranquitas y aunque pienso integrar otros animales ahora solo hay unas vacas unos pollitos y un gato. La idea de el proyecto es sembrar la alimentación propia y vender en mercados agrícolas los excedentes. Aquí aprenderán técnicas agrícolas sostenibles aplicadas en el trópico. Permacultura y sus principios. Como hacer terrazas al contorno, composta, manejo de la materia orgánica y como sembrar, propagar y cosechar diferentes cultivos. Se proveerán las tres comidas requeridas más snacks por si da hambre. Soy flexible a la hora de sentarnos a comer. El desayuno es la hora en que por lo general nos sentamos juntos para planear el día. Tengo 3 cuartos disponibles y 2 baños. Me gusta mucho cocinar. Le ofrezco opciones vegetarianas o veganas si así lo desean. Escucho todo tipo de música. Estamos cerca del cañón de San Cristóbal y me gusta ir al río en especial Toro Negro. El horario será: Domingo y Lunes libre. Se trabajará de martes a sábado. 7-10am Y 3-5pm. Las horas de trabajo serán flexibles y el sábado es día de planear para la semana.

Pedro is a fantastic host, and a great guide. Tours of San Cristobal Canyon, Toro Negro state forest, Aguas Termales hot springs, and in general getting to see a great side of PR On the farm, while things were a bit hectic initially, we got a lot done, I learned a tremendous amount about composting and making soil, growing plants on steep hills, how to use cover plants, and complimentary planting. The kind of hands on experience that doesnt slip down the "memory hole". One of my favorite adventures was catching a couple street chickens in Guaynabo, and getting to see em grow.

I had a wonderful experience on Pedro's permaculture farm. He's a good cook and very friendly. The house and accommodations are beautiful. I planted seedlings on two of his terraced gardens and did various repair jobs in my short stay. Pedro has an education in agriculture and I learned about some of the local plants the are used to prevent erosion. Pedro took me and another Woofer to a swimming hole in the local rainforest area near Barranquitas. There was also a hot springs we visited.The mountains must be experienced for their beauty and diversity. I'll be going back in future.
