Beschreibung
We live on a permaculture homestead on 3 hectares, a 10 min walk to the centre of Medina Sidonia, a small rural town in Cádiz, Andalucía.
We have fruit trees, vegetable patch and chickens.
I hope that people who come here learn how to live more gently on our beautiful planet and with a lot less material 'stuff" and a lot less waste. Your contribution helps me protect this beautiful place and its biodiversity while I work full time.
We are a bilingual English/Spanish family that believes that all religions are equal and to be respected.
Many people want to come and learn Spanish. This is unrealistic. Volunteers need to connect to each other so the main communication language depends on the group. Find a way to have conversations lessons in town. If you have a decent level of Spanish and can communicate we can certainly switch to Spanish and help improve it if everyone else speaks Spanish.
I work full time as a teacher during the week so you need to be a very proactive, independent problem-solver! I am open to different levels of work. 4-5 hours 5 days a week for food and board. If you want to do less, happy to negotiate.
This winter 2024 I am specifically looking for help to load up photos of stuff I need to sell on to a website.
The forestry work is hard physical work here generally walking up and down on a slope constantly. Weeding is bending down! You need to get a kick out of physical labour and enjoy the tired sensation of a job well done.
Throwing food in the bin hurts my soul.... and we try to eat from the vegetable patch so it doesn't go into the Compost bin.... slightly less soul damage!
We eat meat occasionally but happy to adjust to other different requirements so long as complicated cooking is lead by those in need.
Smokers - Cigarette smoke really affects my body so it needs to be far away from me
We share our space with a friendly dog and 3 cats.
Looking forward to interviewing you for our project!

After 10 years hosting volunteers what most take away from being here is reconnecting. This space has a very special energy and helps people see clearly who they are.
I am learning to connect and work with earth amd plant energies and how to honour them. Happy to share these with those interested
Tangible skills are basic living hanits with less water, solar electriicty and avoiding food waste. Learning to water, weed, strim, prune.
Observation, self organisation and proactivity - overcoming that hump of "I don't know" (not an expert), saiting for someone else to.tell you and just experimenting and learning from mistakes.
I have an permaculture library for those who want to research.

Unterkunft
Currently we offer 2 caravans and space for parking a camper van and meals. Our food, we love food, ranges from European to spicy Asian. We are mostly vegetarian!
Be aware there is limited indoor space.
We have an indoor toilet/shower with heating and an outdoor compost toilet with open air cold water shower. The kitchen is small and communal. Really important to be good at keeping it organised!
Was noch ...
There are few and far between bus services from Medina Sidonia are Chiclana and Cadiz.
I am happy to help out by dropping off and picking up around my work schedule in Jerez de La Frontera.
The nearest supermarket is 10 minutes walk and the town has some shops, banks, cafés and bars!

The work was interesting, a lot independent, and you could bring your own ideas into it. Also there was always room for appreciating.
