Description
We enjoy life on our 5 hectare, tree studded farm in Huelva, Andalusia. My husband and I are retired, fit and active people who like to laugh. Since moving to the farm that we bought in March 2022, we are blessed with amazing opportunities to start a vegetable / herb garden, to plant fruit trees, to design / implement swales, to dig holes for gabions and to create small islands of tranquility.
The beautiful weather, although sometimes very hot or cold, allow us to be creative, especially as we watch every sunrise and every sunset. We welcome helpers to join us in: to collect stones to fill the gabions, to collect mulch from under the huge oak trees, to collect wood, to prepare planting areas for more fruit trees, to do gardening, especially the preparation of the soil, to cut wild brush and to assist in whatever is priority on the permaculture to-do-list. It didn't rain for many months and therefore we have a huge challenge ahead of us. We work with joy, we enjoy the company of people and we hope you will have a meaningful stay with us.

This is one of the most beautiful volunteering I've ever done. She took care about me so much. I ate well and lived in good conditions.
I am very grateful for everything that she did for me.
I wish for her all the best.
