Finca Cultura (Vegan Homestead)

Finca Cultura is a Self-Reliant Vegan Homestead located in Ecuador and We are “Preppers”. We understand the worlds supply chain can experience issues at any time which can make it complicated for all of us to purchase essential products. As farmers we also observe many climate issues. These issues can lead to food shortages. Our homestead is actively taking steps to prepare for these scenarios. We have a spring fed river on our property that flows all year, we collect rainwater from skies that have zero chemtrails, and we also have a perfect climate to grow food all year without the need for preservation or canning. Our lifestyle has an emphasis on simplicity and off-grid living but we also have grid electricity and high speed internet. Often we invite guests to visit our homestead for day trips, extended visits, and for long term residence. This land is approximately 2.5 acres with over 100 varieties of Fruit Producing Plants, Various Herbs, Vegetable Plants, & Flowers. There are many nearby hiking trails & Nature Parks. Our night sky is great for star gazing with minimal light pollution. To generate money for our community we have a traveling store that sells flowers, rare seeds, fruits, prepared foods, and various seasonal products. We are also ready to offer edible landscaping services to local property owners. In the future we want to open physical stores (Community Centers) that sell prepared meals, empowering items, events, and education. One main goal is to have our spaces be safe places for all humans to rejuvenate. We live by “the four agreements” and expect all guests to do the same. These agreements are very important to us. If you do not understand our agreements then please ask questions so you can fully understand our expectations. The agreements are: 1) Speak impeccably 2) Do your best 3) Take nothing personally 4) Make no assumptions. We currently have private bedrooms to share in the Adobe House. We also have tents to share with bedding materials. Cell phone service is good enough for calls and we do have high speed internet. We are a 15 minute walk or $1.75 taxi ride from downtown where standard pleasures of life are available. All community guests are expected to work up to 15 hours each week or pay $70 per week per person to compensate for housing expenses. The most common tasks at the homestead are: harvesting, weeding, and planting. This is the 6th homestead we have built together since September 2020. This is a great opportunity for Inquisitive people to learn many skills. As a Vegan Homestead we trap, cage, or restrain zero animals. All guests of more than one week will have a 7 day trial phase. If you are not compatible with our expectations after the 1st week you will be given constructive criticism and/or asked to leave as we have been advised to do by the WWOOF terms of service. If you are asked to leave you will have up to 1 week to leave the property. If visiting, working with, or living with us interests you please send us a message with all the questions you have for us. You will be given a questionnaire to complete, we will then schedule a voice chat with you, and if approved you will be given a liability waiver to sign. Thank you for reading this. We appreciate you!
