Description
Update 21-05-2024
We are looking for 4/6 helpers at the time in the months July, August and September.
We prefer non smokers.
Since we have had many volunteers already, we have noticed it’s most fun for volunteers to come and leave around the same time, to get to know each other and form a team. Also, if everyone comes at once we can introduce you to the farm all at once, establish living rules and finding out a way we’d like to share our time and space in community meetings. (around the pizza oven, with some guitar music perhaps..)
We therefore ask you to stay at least three weeks, preferably more, and come in a certain slot:
Slot 1: 6th of July till 6th of August
Slot 2: 6th of Augst till 6th of September
Slot 3: 6th of September till 6th of October
In your title please specify when you’d like to come
Example: “Mar wants to come 6th of July till the 6th of August”
=========================
Hello people!
Here Mar, Sandra and Adrià.
In July Mar will take care of the project since Adria and Sandra will be on parental leave with their newborn. In August and September you will be working with Adria.
Mar is a free-style carpenter, likes to farm and do creative things, likes to dance contact improv and is a climber and hiker.. has lots of recommendations of where to go on your free days.
Adria studied biology and always worried for wild ecosystems and biodiversity conservation, for few years I volunteered in many biological studies around the world, but then I realised that since Food Industry and Capitalism are the main cause of most of the really concerning environmental problems the only battle was against them.
So I did remember that my family had an old farm from the grandparents who nobody was using and I did study a master on organic farming. And some introductory course to permaculture too.
Here we are now, in a big old house, 8 hectareas and the animals; the 3 cows, the 80 hens, the 4 dogs and 3 cats...
And by the way with some friends we created an organization and started to prospect, interview old farmers and create a seed bank and traditional trees nursery. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF SEEDS IN THE SEEDBANK OF THIS HOUSE!!!
The projects in the farm are :
- 0.8 ha veggies garden which take most of the work!
- 100 young sweet fruit trees and grapes ( fig trees, peers...)
- 20 almond trees
- 27 small pistachio trees
- 60 olive trees
- cereal crops
- feeding/taking care of cows and hens
- milking the cows and makig cottage cheese and iogurts (not in summer)
- Moving fences for cows to have fresh grass
- in september the cows will give birth !
We are 7 people living here right now (two volunteers, 5 workers) but in the summer everyone wants to go on holidays and we need your help! There will be 3 rooms for volunteers to stay of which two with a double bed and one a shared room with 4 single beds, there is also place to camp outside and the tree house..
In summer we start early (6 am) but have two breakfast breaks ;-) and cook lunch for each other alternately.
Since we might be many, we ask you to actively involve in Karma yoga (doing things for others: such as cleaning the compost toilet, the kitchen or a specific area..) and ask everyone to respect each others needs (to be clean, not leave your clothes lying around, if you are a smoker only smoke in the designated area, etc.
Volunteers work 5 days a week, 5 hours a day. If we are many we might ask to alternate the free days so that everyone can take a day off (Mar and Adria included 😉).
We will teach you how to take care of cows, calfs, chicken, a vegetable garden in Spanish summer.. It will be fun!

we can give tips on where to go on free days, also show you the local food scenery.. (local farmers markets etc. )
Help
Mainly farming/gardening help which means weeding, harvesting, seedling, planting, watering...
Sometimes I also need help with some construction projects. If you have special skills in construction (laying tiles, construction laying concrete or creating garages) please mention this in your message.

In summer we use to wake up really early to avoid the the hottest hours outside

My main goal was to get more knowledge and experience in organic farming and I wasn't dissapointed for Adrià is a great practitioner and teacher. I gained much more understanding of biointensive growing and community aspect of agriculture. However, learning is only a piece of the bigger picture. Because staying at Adrià's farm was the best… read more

This was my first workaway experience and it was an excellent introduction!! Adria is incredibly knowledgeable, cheerful and motivated; somehow always remaining super laid back while also getting so much done around the farm and managing several workawayers.

Dana is a wonderful, welcoming being, always smiling and excited to play, eat and go out. She takes care of Adria, who fits exactly the same description (except Dana is a dog and Adria is a human).
In this farm we discovered many tasks and became addicted to peeling garlics. We never get bored of his holy zucchinis which… read more

Ocean is a sweet mate with a very positive vibe. She was also a very good help in some moments I was struggling a bit with the work. She also made some delicious elder-wine.
Trust on her, all you need to know is that when she says "ice" she means "house" and when she says you are "fat" she actually means you are "fit" which is not so bad. It's… read more

I liked Jakob very much even if he seems to be a bit shy.
He was giving his best on the field and was of a great help. He studied and had very cool knowledges about ecologic economy, peak oil, energy return on investments for the different energetic sources. Super important topics I think for the understanding of the current society. I have warm… read more

Hahaha besides he was complaining on different things from time to time ( joking, as it's been proved by the feedback he left) and that he said he didn't like conventional jobs and working, and that's one of the reasons why he is travelling, he was a cool workawayer and I could notice that he was giving his best in the field, which I really… read more

India is a super kind and nice girl! She had good skills giving me a hand with the work in the garden and helping in the kitchen too. It's been less than 2 weeks but I feel we had a very good connection. We shared a lot of conversations, delicious food, climbing sessions and so on. A big hug, wishes of happiness and prosperity, and thanks again! ;)
