    Hello - currently looking for help in Spring 2025 to prepare the trees and land for the summer months - this will involve pruning the trees ready for summer season and chopping up any branches for the fire and also burning excess leaves etc.....
    In between if there is time also setting up the hydroponic farm.
    Please note the weather can be literally either end of the spectrum within one day - very changeable so do bear in mind you need waterproofs as well as t-shirts!

    Hi - we are the Monro family [Andy, Sarah-jane and our son Jamie] living on the Greek island of Corfu and we are currently building [ a self-build! ] our off-grid home from Shipping Containers - the first of its kind this side of Greece. The home is mainly finished, but now it is all the last bits and then we need to clear the surrounding land and set up our Olive trees properly and our green house and hydroponic garden. We also have a Horse rescue centre that always needs help ....obviously anyone helping us has the chance to learn and experience living in a "tiny home" shipping container and we will be happy to share how we did it to anyone joining us! You will be working alongside us - we are hard workers and take pride in what we do and what we have achieved so far - you will be able to learn the process we went through and see if "tiny house" living is something you might be interested in! We have worked our whole lives in the hospitality industry and on top of working alongside us we will make sure you get to enjoy your free time and leave here hopefully having learnt something about eco friendly living and also about this amazing island we call home!
    We have space in the self- contained studio for either a single person or couple .....
    Dates of events you might like to help us with -

    We have lived over 30 years on the island and are very passionate about where we live and how lovely it is .... we are very lucky to be where we are.... We are literally a 2 minute drive from the nearest beach and a 30 minute drive to Corfu town which is now a Unesco site and really lovely .. we would be more than happy to show the local area and its highlights to anyone joining us......anyone joining us will have the unique experience of actually trying out "small house" living as it rises in popularity and we are happy to share how we went about the whole process and what we have learnt along the way about building with shipping containers and on a Greek island!

    We have Starlink internet with VERY good speeds and as we are offgrid we never have power problems - there is a dedicated hub inside the accommodation and most of the garden surrounding it.
