    Description

    Currently a farm for personal use, with future plans for the sale and distribution of organic products and medicinal plants. We work sustainably with the environment that surrounds us, always trying to maintain the principles of permaculture.
    It is the first year in this place so it still needs a lot of work.
    On the farm I currently live alone, although I also share it with my mother who comes to work occasionally and enjoy the surroundings.
    It is a place where silence and tranquility are respected.
    The farm is divided into 3 environments: one in which biological and biodynamic agriculture was worked, from this garden we obtain the vast majority of the food that we consume and also little by little we increase medicinal plants to prepare our own remedies.
    Then, there is the house that we are rebuilding. The kitchen is almost finished and available for cooking, there is also a room with a wood stove to heat and share on the coldest nights, there are two rooms that need a little work. One of them to turn it into a bedroom and the other to build a massage and osteopathy consultation in which I will perform my treatments as a therapist.
    The farm also has a garden area that we are arranging to share with friends and family.

    Actualmente es una finca de uso personal, con planes futuros para la venta y distribución de productos ecológicos y plantas medicinales. Trabajamos de forma sostenible con el medio que nos rodea, siempre intentando mantener los principios de la permacultura.
    Es el primer año en este lugar por lo que aun necesita mucho trabajo.
    En la finca actualmente vivo solo yo, aunque también la comparto con mi madre que viene a trabajar ocasionalmente y a disfrutar del entorno.
    Es un lugar en el que se respeta el silencio y la tranquilidad.
    La finca se divide en 3 entornos: uno en que se trabajaba la agricultura biológica y biodinamica, de este huerto obtenemos la gran mayoría de la comida que consumimos y también poco a poco vamos incrementando plantas medicinales para preparar nuestros propios remedios.
    Luego, se encuentra la casa que estamos reconstruyendo. La cocina esta casi terminada y disponible para cocinar, también hay una sala con una estufa de leña para calentar y compartir en las noches mas frías, hay dos habitaciones que necesitan un poco de trabajo. Una de ellas para convertirla en dormitorio y la otra para construir una consulta de masaje y osteopatia en la que realizare mis tratamientos como terapeuta.
    La finca también tiene una zona de jardín que estamos arreglando para compartir con amigos y familia.

    I need a person, with some experience in agricultural and construction work, or with a strong desire to collaborate and learn. (Knowledge of organic farming, carpentry, masonry ...) are valued.
    The work day would be for 4 hours from Monday to Friday in the morning.
    The work to be done would be, help with the garden, (planting, preparation of new terraces, maintenance ...), help in the repairs of the house and construction of new spaces.
    Normally I will not be able to help continuously in the work tasks so I need an active, independent and responsible person.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The house has a kitchen with gas, oven, sink, currently there is no refrigerator. In the kitchen just need to place a door and close some holes, but this covered with roof and walls.
    In exchange for work the food will be provided: breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will try to cook every day, but for personal reasons there will be days when I find myself absent. In the kitchen there will always be vegetables from our own garden, assorted fruits, cereals, bread ... In my absence I ask for responsibility with the food. The diet will be mainly vegetarian.
    There is a living room with sofas and a wood stove to share.
    The house has another room that needs a small reform but in which you can place up to two mattresses to sleep protected from the cold. There are mattresses, sheets and blankets although I recommend bringing a sleeping bag for the cooler nights, since the house is not completely closed.
    On the farm we have water, although it is not drinkable, but there will always be bottles of water from the mountain for cooking and drinking.
    There is a dry bath and a solar shower outside. We do not have hot water, but it is possible to heat water in the kitchen to use in the shower.
    In the house there is a small solar panel to have light, it is also possible to charge small electrical appliances.
    It is a farm in the process of rehabilitation, so we currently do not have all the amenities.

    La casa dispone de una cocina con gas, horno, fregadero, actualmente no hay nevera. En la cocina solo falta colocar una puerta y cerrar algunos huecos, pero esta cubierta con techo y paredes.
    A cambio del trabajo se proporcionara 2 comidas: desayuno, almuerzo . Intentare cocinar todos los días, pero por motivos personales habrá días que me encuentre ausente. En la cocina siempre habrá verdura de nuestro propio huerto, frutas variadas, cereales, pan... En mi ausencia pido responsabilidad con la comida. La dieta sera principalmente vegetariana.
    Hay un salón con sofás y una estufa de leña para compartir.
    La casa dispone de otra habitación que necesita una pequeña reforma pero en la que se pueden colocar hasta dos colchones para dormir protegidos del frio. Hay colchones sabanas y mantas aunque recomiendo traer un saco de dormir para las noches mas frías, ya que la casa no se encuentra totalmente cerrada.
    En la finca disponemos de agua, aunque no es potable, pero siempre habrá botellas de agua de la montaña para cocinar y beber.
    Hay un baño seco y una ducha solar en el exterior. No disponemos de agua caliente, pero es posible calentar agua en la cocina para utilizarla en la ducha.
    En la casa hay una pequeña placa solar para disponer de luz, también es posible cargar pequeños aparatos eléctricos.
    Es una finca en proceso de rehabilitación, por lo que actualmente no disponemos de todas las comodidades.
