Welcome to Tía Nora Farm: An Oasis of Sustainability and Connection with Nature

History and Philosophy of the Farm

More than 15 years ago, Lucía and Pedro, together with their 6 children, decided to leave the city to live in the countryside and create Tía Nora Farm. Their goal was to turn this 7-hectare property, located 12 km north of San Juan, into a model of a self-sufficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly organic farm.

Since then, they have worked tirelessly to achieve this dream. In 2013, the farm obtained organic certification for all its plant production from the International Agri-Food Organization (OIA), becoming the first certified organic farm with biodiversity in Argentina.

Lucía and Pedro's philosophy is based on environmental care, agroecology, and permaculture. They seek to convey these principles to children, youth, and adults who visit them, through educational workshops and the experience of living in the countryside.

Farm Activities and Services

Recreational Activities

The farm offers an ideal space for families and groups of friends to enjoy peace and nature. They have:

  • Picnic area and barbecue
  • Clay oven
  • Swimming pool
  • Horse rides
  • Football field
  • Sale of handcrafted products

Educational Activities

Tía Nora Farm is a space for learning and raising awareness about ecology and permaculture. They offer:

  • Guided tours of the vegetable garden, greenhouse, and animal facilities
  • Interactive educational workshops for students of all ages

Eco-Lodge and Country Restaurant

For those who wish to immerse themselves completely in country life, the farm has a rural eco-lodge and a restaurant that offers:

  • Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinners with fresh produce from the garden and farm
  • Accommodation in a cozy wooden cabin in the heart of the property

Volunteering and Collaboration

One of the fundamental pillars of Tía Nora Farm is the exchange of knowledge and experiences with volunteers from around the world. Since 2009, they have hosted more than 300 volunteers, mostly young people who want to know another side of Argentina.

Volunteers stay and share daily life on the farm, working approximately 6 hours a day, 6 days a week. In return, they receive accommodation and food. It is a mutual learning experience, where volunteers can learn about agroecology and permaculture, while Lucía, Pedro, and their family also benefit from the knowledge they contribute.

Currently, the farm is in the final stage of constructing new bathrooms to improve the experience of visitors, especially those with disabilities. To complete this project, they are requesting the community's collaboration through a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.
