Volunteer on an Eco-Farm in North Sumatra, Indonesia

Our EcoFarm programme helps bring economic investment, awareness, development and outreach to people in the farming community and the greater communities.

Volunteers will assist our partner Erna in her own garden, community garden or farm, known as Erna’s EcoFarm, located in the village of Gotong Royong, North Sumatra. The eco-farm is surrounded by rice paddies, agro-forests with mountains in the distance. The eco - farm is a short distance from her homestay and the communal garden within walking distance. Erna started focusing on her land 10 years and with the help of the Ruffort Foundation 4 years ago, was able to develop the farm as organic. The farm is in the initial stages of becoming a productive ecological farm which aims to create a sustainable land management system to encourage economic growth and biodiversity.
