What we do

Nuestra Finca Sagrada (Our Sacred Farm), located in the rural state of Carazo near Jinotepe. Nicaraguan countryside about 25 minutes from Jinotepe. The nearest town is La Paz de Carazo 5 minutes away. We are NOT on the gringo trail, this is a bit rural and for someone who wants to practice Spanish and meet local Nicaraguans.
We welcome every soul who has made the conscious choice to leave Babylon, this society & system which no longer serves us. We work for a system change by creating a new way of living in which is approached through earth care, people care & a fair share for those communities surrounding the farm.
Our aim is to develop the land in an eco-conscious way, using permaculture techniques, natural buildings, growing sustainably while also being respectful of the local culture and tradition. We have recently installed WIFI & electricity to create a self-reliant communication hub here.
The farm boasts many mango, cashew, lime, and guanábana trees, and was part of a reforestation project so there are a variety of tree species and age ranges. We have recently planted watermelon, dragon fruit, avocado, mandarin, and grenadilla.
Our Sacred Farm is also visited by a large variety of birds and butterflies, as well as a few families of howler monkeys.
Lodging on the farm is pretty basic and rustic, though we do have a large pagoda-style building designed and built by Sunray Kelley. It’s still a work in progress but will serve as the communal area and kitchen, as well as a yoga space. We also have a more conventional building made from concrete that serves as a caretaker and guesthouse storage space. We have a treehouse and outdoor kitchen with a grill and oven, cob table and bench.
At the moment our long term plan is to create a food forest & communal housing, we’re focusing on short term projects like planting more fruit trees and more compost toilets. We have plans to build a cob structure and a platform/treehouse above our water tower.

BioconstrucciĂłn de TALLER con carpinterĂ­a de armar

La Escuela de BioconstrucciĂłn Los Guindales propone un aprendizaje practico de bioconstrucciĂłn durante todo el año, en la finca de la ecoaldea Los Guindales (AlgatocĂ­n – Málaga). Para mejorar las instalaciones del proyecto, vamos a construir un taller de carpinterĂ­a. Durante el mes de agosto, lanzamos un llamamiento excepcional para poder avanzar la armadura con madera redonda. Se van a cuadrar troncos, a trazar en el suelo las varias piezas para luego trazar en las piezas mismas las cotas importantes, a cortar las piezas haciĂ©ndoles encajes tradicionales, a montar y a levantar los cinco pĂłrticos previstos. Vamos a seguir la misma organizaciĂłn grupal que solemos tener ; hacemos turnos diarios de cocina, trabajamos de las 8h a las 10h, desayunamos hasta las 11h, y seguimos luego hasta el almuerzo a las 14h. Por la tarde seguiremos trabajando unas dos horas. Paralelamente, estamos cuidando una huerta y tres cabras. Para mas info sobre nuestra rutina y condiciones os dejo el enlace a seguir. https://escueladebioconstruccionlosguindales.wordpress.com/formacion/ AquĂ­ somos un equipo fijo de cuatro personas llevando la escuela. Siembre habrán un mĂ­nimo de dos personas con experiencia para llevar el taller del mes de agosto. TenĂ©is a disposiciĂłn un terreno grande para poner tiendas de campana, tambiĂ©n hay una yurta segĂşn las disponibilidades. Pedimos una aportaciĂłn de 120 euros para el mes entero o 70 euros para dos semanas para cubrir los gastos de comida. Caso tengan cualquier duda, no hesiten en hacĂ©rnosla saber. Pueden contactarnos a travĂ©s de: bi*************************@***il.com
