Description
Hi guys
Nice to meet you🍒🧡🌼
We are Maria and Tobi, from Spain and Australia, and we live on our farm in Andalucia with our two young children (7 months and 2 years old) and animals in the the first town of the Alpujarra's from Granada, Guejar Sierra at 1200m above sea level in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, Andalucia
We have the dream of creating a eco retreat in the future but we are staring slowly and we are working to be self-sufficient growing our own vegetables tending to the fruit trees and rotational grazing sheep and laying hens.
Right now we are preparing the garden for the spring/summer season with lots of anticipation hoping for it to be our best year yet!
Somos María y Tobi, una española y un australiano que vivimos con nuestros dos hijos pequeñitos y animales en el primer pueblo de la Alpujarra granadina, Andalucía, Guejar Sierra a 1200m sobre el nivel del mar en las montañas de Sierra Nevada.
Soñamos con crear un retiro ecológico en el futuro, pero estamos empezando lentamente y trabajando para ser autosuficientes cultivando nuestras propias verduras, cuidando los árboles frutales y pastoreando de forma rotativa a las ovejas y las gallinas.Types of help and learning opportunities
