  Description

  We are a family of 5 living on a 2ha farm in Galicia. We moved here two years ago and are still in the process of building, putting veggies in the ground, taking care of the forest and creating a nice piece of land in the middle of nowhere. The kids are 2, 5 and 7 years old and enjoy painting, playing in the forest and be outside. We have currently 12 chickens and two cats, but we intent to extend the animal farm from time to time. Garden work takes up a great amount of our free time, besides we work in regular jobs, which makes life sometimes a bit busy. But out motto is always: poco a poco. The project on the land we are working on is mainly to tranform the land into a veggie-forest-garden paradise with animals and people living together peacefully. We are happy to welcome people who would like to help us plant, taking care of animals, small (or big) building activities and cooking and enjoying time together. Right now, were are in the process of making fire wood - so if you love chopping wood - even better!
  
  As we have already a quite busy family life, we are more keen on welcoming people travelling alone or as a couple.

  Accommodation

  It would be great, if you could bring a Van or Car, we could provide you with a tent, mattress and bed sheets as well. We are currently building an extension of the house, which will allow us to host people indoors soon. During your stay here, you will be a part of our family. So we do all meals together (if you wish), which would be mainly breakfast and dinner. During the day, we work and usually only eat small things. There is also a lot of good coffee and great fresh veggies and fruits from the garden or the nearby eco-farm.

  What else ...
