House Rules

Pachamama Permaculture

WWOOFer Rules and Guidelines.

Welcome to our farm. We hope you enjoy your stay.

As a volunteer we would like to make you aware of the rules and expectations while you are here.

Here at Pachamama Permaculture we have much to do. We expect all volunteers to work a minimum of 4 hours each day. For your four hours of work you will receive a place to set up a tent, access to water, an outdoor composting toilet, one meal, and a shower every other day. If you wish to work 6 hours then a second meal will be provided, 8 hours of work will earn a third meal.

In addition to assigned projects there will be daily chores such as meal prep and cleanup, feeding the animals and other housekeeping and upkeep needs.

The House

The house is a private home. Access to the kitchen area of the home is allowed during meal prep, cleanup and chores that require use of the kitchen. Please remove your shoes while in the house.

Showers are to be scheduled in advance and are to be taken in the afternoon between 4 and 6 pm. Please provide your own toiletries and ensure your soaps are environmentally friendly as we have gray water systems. Also limit you total time in the bathroom to 15 minutes. The front door to the house is a private entrance, please use the backdoor at all times to enter our home. Please be mindful and respectful of our home, property and our personal privacy.

Gates

All gates that have been opened must be closed.

Meals

We like to keep our meals simple. Rice, beans and potatoes are staple foods, you may also expect beef as a common ingredient as we have easy access to red meat. No accommodations are made for vegetarians or vegans. Meals include the food, water, coffee or tea. Alcoholic beverages are not included with the evening meal but are allowed in moderation.

Breakfast is 8:00 am to 9:00 am. This includes preparation, meal time and cleanup.

Lunch is between 12 noon and 1:00 pm.
