    Description

    We are Thomas and Sol, a Brazilian and Argentine couple. We have a one hectare farm in La Fatarella, Tarragona. There we live in a caravan and grow olive and almond trees for self-consumption, trying to apply the principles of permaculture. We have a couple of laying hens and a rooster. Two sheep, Aria and Panchita. Two dogs, Xena who is the queen of the house and Taf who is our friendly guardian.
    We have planted a little of everything and we still try to be self-sufficient in water.
    At the project we hope to find people who love nature and seek to live a simple experience of peace and love for life.
    The site is isolated in nature between forests and neighboring rainfed olive groves, but it is only one kilometer from the village. We guarantee great laughs under the stars and food made with lots of love, we are not vegan but I am a chef and I will have no problem cooking for vegans. On the land we do not kill any animals.
    We need help especially with our bio-constructions, an opportunity for those who want to learn the dry stone technique and also adobe.

    Somos Thomás y Sol, una pareja de brasileño y argentina. Tenemos una finca de una hectárea en La Fatarella, Tarragona. Alli vivimos en una caravana y cultivamos olivos y almendros de autoconsumo, intentando aplicar los principios de la permacultura. Tenemos un par de gallinas ponederas y un gallo. Dos ovejas, Aria y Panchita. Dos perros, la Xena que es la reina de la casa y el Taf que es nuestro guardian amable.
    Hemos plantado un poco de todo y aun intentamos ser autosuficientes de agua.
    En el proyecto esperamos encontrar personas que amen la naturaleza y busquen vivir una experiencia sencilla de paz y amor por la vida.
    El sitio está aislado en la naturaleza entre bosques y cultivos de olivos de secano de vecinos, pero esta a solo un kilómetro del pueblo. Garantizamos muy buenas risas bajo las estrellas y comida hecha con muchísimo amor, no somos veganos pero soy un chef de cocina y no tendré problema en cocinar para veganos. En el terreno no matamos a ningun animal.
    Necesitamos ayuda sobretodo con nuestras bioconstruciones, oportunidad para quien quiere aprender la técnica de piedra en seco y también adobe.
