  Description

  We are a couple from England who moved to Valencia, Spain. We live completely off grid with solar and wind for power. We are situated inland of Valencia city, between 2 pretty little villages 5km away.
  We grow as much food as we can raising chickens, ducks and turkeys for meat, fruit and vegetables from the garden, all organic and pesticide free. We have a close nit community of like minded souls and we swap goods and help each other where ever we can.
  We have a range of fruit trees, almonds and olives and would love help during the picking and pruning seasons.
  Any produce produced is canned , cured , dried or frozen for later in the year. We can offer classes in English or teaching methods of storage as well as feeding visitors good home cooked food. I (Michelle) love cooking and my husband (Kev) loves eating so we are a good match.
  We would love to host anyone who would love to learn about our way of life and help us out
