DESCRIPTION
Hacienda Masini is a beautiful coffee farm established in 1870 in the town of Yauco. They are in the process of growing more and more coffee trees in collaboration with different agriculture entities and industry stakeholders to sustain their greenhouse. The family is also working in the rehabilitation of a historic Casona which soon will become a guest house.
They need a lot of working hands in sowing and preserving the land for the production of coffee and the enjoyment of visitors. Among the tasks to be done in the farm are: maintenance of the land and nursery (weeding), planting and tending new coffee trees, prune old coffee, clean up trash, conduct population counts (birds/species/eco-plots), paint the house/walls/rails, and open trails.
*All experiences are subject to host availability and minimum number of participants.
