Description
This chaotic, happy lot, living in a beautiful but often windy farm in the South-east of Galicia, are looking for volunteers.
So if you feel like digging, looking for runaway animals, fencing, joking, laughing, & playing music, we would be happy to learn to know you.
Someone who loves to clear up the land, or just likes to prepare that great lunch could come in handy too.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are experienced farmers and autodidact craftsmen (and travelers), we have already hosted a lot of workawayers and are always happy to learn as well as teach.
We always try to take life as it comes, and we can tell you from our own experiences about anything needed for a independent life....oh, and drinking tea of course :-)
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
You can learn & do about anything here – we are well experienced builders & farmers that took a challenge a bit to big for just the six of us.
We are: rebuilding the village and we could use a helping hand or two with:
- taking care of the animals (sheep, goats, cows)
- remodeling the landscape
- turning fallen trees in firewood
- cutting bramberries
- guiding the water
- cleaning water reserve
- fencing.
- farm tasks
There are plenty of odd jobs to be done and we can adapt to what you would like to learn.
Although we spend raining days mostly drinking tea, the tasks with the animals is always to be done, we have quails, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, cows, horses, cats and a dog.
Besides there are fields and veggies to attend to too.

we are living in spain but our spanish is, uh... uh... not great. oh, and by the way it is galego here ;)
Accommodation
since we are not ready rebuilding yet, we have a big tent (and matrasses) that is cosy and can accommodate up to 4 people...or you can bring your own.
What else ...
limited Internet access is possible through wifi. We're not vegetarians. There is plenty of nature to go hiking and explore the old tracks. The Santiago trail passes at only 10 kilometers from here. If you have your own means of transportation there are nice villages and towns to visit. When we go to town a ride is possible but places are limited as our current van only has three seats (two and a half in reality).
