Description
Hola..I am Chris, a 70's baby, 80's child, 90's student, free party (30 years a DJ) , explorer.... now farmer and father of 3 kids, the youngest of which, Savi - now a teenager - lives with me part-time on our large (2 hectares) organic farm in Las Alpujarras, Southern Spain.
Our family life here began 20 years ago, with us living in self-made geodesic domes up in the mountains, totally off-grid and off-road. We continue to farm there, though much of our attention is now with our off-grid farm in a community valley, where we have extensive fruit and vegetable gardens (including many olive trees), a greenhouse, 3 dogs and a cat! We use traditional and modern methods of organic farming, growing produce all year round for ourselves and a local cooperative. Alongside this we continue to create a venue for Earth conscious events and accommodation for nature loving people, which we are building using natural and up-cycled materials. We have various hand-crafted spaces able to accommodate 15-20 people, including 2 traditional Mongolian yurts (one of which is set up as a rehearsal/recording studio & disco), and imaginatively renovated, converted and extended spaces, including a classic caravan and a 7.5 ton truck. We also have a salt water pool for use all year round and offer kayaking, e-bike tours, trampolining and table tennis! We regularly run a cafe-restaurant where all profits go to the Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) and many more daytime and evening RCK fundraising events are in the pipeline. Our visitors receive good, healthy, organic, vegetarian/vegan food and accommodation in a self-contained caravan (fully equipped kitchen & heating). . Work includes general gardening and land maintenance, harvesting, building and general labour and helping us to offer our guests a comfortable, enjoyable experience and adventure. We are an open minded, accepting and a very friendly bunch, so come get involved!Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
