Description
For the last four years, we have been restoring a 100% solar-powered Catalan farmhouse from the 18th century. We are Oisin, Marie, Lily (the cat), and Luka (the dog). Over the coming year, we have several projects in the pipeline for both the 2 HA land and the main house. For example, we will continue to regenerate and maintain the forest and cultivate the veggie garden. We are passionate about exploring and implementing regenerative techniques.

What else ...
The farm is in the middle of the forest bordering the natural park Montnegre i El Corridor. The farm is located within a 10 min walk from the village of Canyamars. The area is famous for its biodiversity, historical landmarks, and hiking/cycling routes. There is a local bus that goes from Canyamars to Dosrius (that has shops) and Mataro (that is by the beach and has regular trains to Barcelona).
