Share life on our off grid organic farm in Guajar Alto, Spain

  Description

  My partner and I got this farm 6 years a go with the intention of restoring a very neglected land. We have put a lot of effort into reviving the trees, the infrastructures on the land, collecting a variety of rare subtropical fruit trees. We have planted saffron, lots of different fruit trees, build water reservoirs, put up yurts to host visitors. We would like to implement more permaculture/syntropic principles once the fencing of the farm is completed. Our farm is certified organic and we wish to create a bigger community here on the farm with like-minded people to live with us in nature and share knowledge.

  What's this?
• 

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We live in the south of Spain in a very traditional town where Spanish is the main language spoken. It is a great place to become familiar with a different language, a more laid back rural living surrounded by a beautiful subtropical landscape.
  By staying with us on the farm you will get to immerse yourself in nature, living in one of our offered spaces (yurts, wooden cabin) and get a feel of what organic farming is all about. We are passionate about rare subtropical fruit trees, something we are very open to share knowledge about with people coming to stay with us.
  You can deepen your knowledge on gardening, planting trees and building projects. Its a great place to learn how to live in an alternative way and off grid.

  Help

  We are a couple living on a certified organic farm. Every few weeks we dedicate time to weeding the garden, planting it and revitalizing it. There are various building projects happening that can be helped with from time to time. We are currently in the finalization of fencing the farm. We can all share small tasks on the farm and enjoy living outdoors. We also have 2 dogs that love having more people to play with.
  
  The help needed will not be related to the production of the farm.

  What else ...

  We live at a walking distance from the closest village, about 18 mins where there is a lovely bar with all kinds of food and a local grocery shop with organic products. The area surrounding us is known for hiking due its astounding natural beauty. The ability to drive is very useful given the fact that within 45mins drive you can visit the Alhambra in Granada and its ski resorts, the beaches are about 30 mins drive as well. There are multiple incredible natural sights worth discovering while you'll be here.
  
  We have 2 cats and 2 dogs
