Hello, friends!
We are a passionate family committed to regenerating the land: Joan (35), Clara (34), Atai (7), and Indiana (5). Since 2016, we’ve grown and learned by living in close connection with nature. We began in a tent without electricity or running water… what times full of learning and adventure! Today, we rely on simple, loving techniques to care for the earth, believing that simplicity is what truly works.
Our journey is built on three pillars: soil regeneration, food sovereignty, and shared learning through unschooling. Every day we launch new projects, explore permaculture, and put into practice innovative methods like Ernst Gotsch’s SYNTROPIC AGRICULTURE and JADAM biofertilizer. Joan is actively learning and experimenting with syntropic agriculture, and you’re invited to join this journey of learning and transformation.
Remember to include “PAPADOPOULOS” in your message so we know you’ve read our story.
Important details
Minimum stay: 2–3 weeks.
Volunteers have their own little cabin separate from ours and cook their own meals—of course, we provide the ingredients.
WORKAWAY FAMILIES: please bring your own sleeping setup (caravan, camper, or tent) and handle your own meals; only one adult per family needs to help.
If this lifestyle and the chance to connect deeply with the land resonate with you, we welcome you with open arms!
We are a private homestead- We do produce and sell a small amount of olive oil commercially, but VOLUNTEERS ARE NEVER ASKED TO HELP WITH ANY ASPECT OF OIL PRODUCTION OR SALES.
A big hug and see you soon!

¡Hola, amig@s!
Somos una familia apasionada y comprometida con la regeneración de la tierra: Joan (35), Clara (34), Atai (7) e Indiana (5), desde 2016, hemos aprendido y crecido viviendo en conexión con la naturaleza. Empezamos viviendo en tienda de campaña sin luz ni agua… ¡qué tiempos tan llenos de aprendizaje y aventuras! Hoy, seguimos apostando por técnicas sencillas y amorosas para cuidar la tierra, creyendo que lo simple es lo que realmente funciona.
Nuestro camino se basa en tres pilares: regeneración del suelo, soberanía alimentaria y el aprendizaje compartido a través del unschooling. Cada día nos embarcamos en nuevos proyectos, explorando la permacultura y poniendo en práctica métodos innovadores como la AGRICULTURA SINTROPICA de Ernst Gotsch y el biofertilizante JADAM. Además, Joan está inmerso en el aprendizaje y experimentación activo de la AGRICULTURA SINTROPICA, lo que abre la puerta a que te unas a este proceso de aprendizaje y transformación.
Recuerda incluir “PAPADOPOULOS” en tu mensaje para confirmar que has leído nuestra historia.
Qué hacemos y cómo puedes ayudar
Huerta familiar y cultivo de árboles: siembra, trasplante, riego manual y labores de mantenimiento ligero.
Regeneración del entorno: plantación de especies autóctonas, desbroce suave y observación de la biodiversidad.
Apoyo con nuestros caballos familiares: alimentación, gestionar que tengan agua limpia i limpiar su espacio.
Pequeñas tareas de mantenimiento: mantener limpia y organizada la casita de voluntarios.
Aprendizaje en familia: practicamos homeschool/unschooling con los peques y a veces organizamos actividades de “bosque-escuela” para jugar y descubrir la naturaleza juntos.
Importante:
La estancia mínima es de 2 a 3 semanas.
Los voluntarios tienen su propia minicasita a parte de la nuestra. Y ellos cocinan su propia comida, por supuesto, nosotros proveemos los ingredientes.
FAMILIAS WORKAWAY: solo aceptamos familias que cuenten con su propio lugar para dormir (caravana, camper o tienda de campaña) y se encarguen de su propia comida. En estos casos, solo un adulto de la familia deberá ayudarnos.
Si este estilo de vida y la posibilidad de conectar con la tierra te resuenan, ¡te esperamos con los brazos abiertos!
¡Un fuerte abrazo y hasta pronto!

What we do & how you can help
Forest regeneration: gently clearing invasive plants, planting native saplings and observing local wildlife.
Family organic garden: sowing, transplanting, weeding and hand-watering our vegetable beds.
Syntropic Agriculture (forest garden) experiments: preparing new growing strips, mixing biofertilizers (JADAM), managing the plants and watching how nature patterns evolve.
Light upkeep & small repairs: keeping the volunteer cabin tidy and welcoming.

I love to improve my english. But im also interested on learning other languages. And my sons doing home education will be super happy of learning anything by playing with them.
Accommodation
Private volunteer mud and straw tiny house. It has accomodation for two hosts. We still don't have hot water but now we have a fridge on the volunteers house. The toilet is a compost/dry toilet. Every week we will buy food for the volunteers and they cook their meals for themselves in the small house. The food we offer is vegan and chicken eggs. Once a week you can share a dinner with us.
What else ...
Near our house we have a river wich have some nice ponds to refresh on summer. And the natural park that surrounds us has lots of nice trails, caves and mountains to visit. Our farm is 6km from the nearest village. But we always have people on our land.
