Daily Schedule

Every day on the farm was different and brought surprises, but here’s a schedule of a typical day.

6:00 am- Wake up, hit snooze.

6:15 am- Roll out of bed, put Muñeca (the dog) outside, and go to the kitchen to cook breakfast.

7:00 am- This is the time we’re supposed to start working.

7:20 am- This is the time we actually start working.

7:30 am- Feed the bear and deer. Move the sheep and pig pens.

7:40 am- Herd the goats up to the field where they graze all day.

8:00 am- Start a project. Examples: digging water canals, cleaning out the river, shoveling a garden bed, weeding.

12:00 pm- Lunch!! We cooked different variations of rice and vegetables every day.

12:20 pm- Since the guys didn’t have to cook and ate really quickly, they would play a game, Zapo, right outside our kitchen.

1:00 pm- Finish the project.

3:00 pm- Volunteers stop working. If we were bored, we would help out with the animals the rest of the afternoon.

6:00 pm- Dinner!! We cooked more rice and vegetables.

9:00 pm- Usually we went to bed really early because there was nothing else to do.
