Description
Hello, we are a middle-aged couple from quite a world to be from a town, with the desire to share culture and knowledge. Geologically Galicia is a very very old land, where Celts, Goths, Visigoths, Romans, Arabs, Jews passed through and we traded on our coasts with other civilizations throughout history, such as Greeks, Phoenicians, Normans, and other sea peoples . Sometimes we have been invaded and other times integrated by many cultures
Our farm has an ecological certificate, the cows live all year round in the free fields with their calves that will be future mothers and fathers on other farms. We also have a large orchard where we grow many greens and vegetables. The time has come to warn that there is no lack of work here, life in the countryside requires a significant energy expenditure, translated into very physical work, cutting firewood, cleaning weeds with a machine or by hand to increase the grass for the cows, help in the garden, prepare land for planting, and help shift cows from fields to better pastures.
We work 5 hours a day 5 days a week, during free time you can go the mountains and places of interest here there are also hot springs nearby.
Hola , somos un matrimonio que vive en la provincia de Ourense en Galicia, norte de España Nuestra granja cuenta con certificado ecologico, las vacas viven todo el ano en los campos libres con sus terneros que serán futuros padres y madres en otras granjas. También tenemos una gran huerta donde cultivamos muchas verduras y hortalizas. Llegó la hora de advertir que aquí trabajo no falta, la vida en el campo requiere de un gasto energético importante , traducido a trabajo muy físico, cortar leña, limpiar maleza con maquina o a mano para aumentar el pasto para las vacas ayuda en la huerta ,preparar la tierra para plantar, y ayudar a cambiar las vacas de campos para mejorar los pastos.
Trabajamos 5 horas al día 5 días a la semana, el tiempo libre podrás ir a las montañas y lugares de interés aquí también hay termas de agua caliente cerca.Types of help and learning opportunities
