    Description

    Hello, i'm Javier. I'm from Andalusia, but i found my place here, in Sierra de Gata. I love Permaculture, so my idea is to manage my farm following its principles. Project is still in the first steps. My aim is to become as self suficient as possible. I was living in diferentes places, cities and country side, and now i'm very happy to live surrounded by Nature.

    Help

    I have been living in this beautiful place only for three years, so there is really a lot of stuff to do. Your tasks may include gardening, watering plants, fencing, bioconstruction, traditional construction, chicken's maintenance, animal caring, making compost, harvesting seasonal crops...I'm flexible with your work, so you will be doing what you prefer to do between different options. Now in Summer the main help needed is with the vegetable gardens.
