    Hi there!!

    DURING THE SUMMER WE NEED HANDS IN THE GARDEN, SPECIALLY JULY AND AUGUST. DON´T HESITATE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!!


    We are a learning community, open to social inclusion. A place for personal meeting and mutual support that seeks to create a safe space for drug-free coexistence where people with different life trajectories, sometimes traversed by social exclusion or drug addiction, participate in the creation of a self-managed project.

    Right now we are in a moment of transformation in the project and we are open to receiving people who come to share their skills, ideas and positive attitudes. We live in a 12-hectare farm surrounded by nature, sharing life with donkys, chickens, cats and dogs. We also have an organic garden and try to supply our needs with the resources that the farm gives us.

    Debate on the nature of the project and its current and immediate needs, looking for people with interests:

    ✔️ Gardening and ways to work the land. This Includes management of a consumer group dedicated to ecological agriculture.

    ✔️ Maintenance and (bio) construction.

    ✔️ Care of animals

    ✔️ Communication and association management through social media and our webside

    ✔️ Social work. You should be aware of the different social realities and the great diversity of people that form our community.


    If you want to learn to live in a self-sufficient and collaborate with a project that helps people with different backgrounds at risk of social exclusion, get in touch with us.
    We wait for you !!
