Volunteer Opportunities at My Off-Grid Homestead
At our off-grid homestead in the Sierra Espuña mountains, volunteers join us to experience sustainable rural living, connect with nature, and be part of a small, supportive community.
The Help We Need
Volunteers help with day-to-day life on the homestead: gardening, maintenance, cooking, and sharing everyday chores. Tasks may include planting, weeding, harvesting, preparing communal meals, and general upkeep of our eco-friendly home. You will not be asked to do any professional building, major repairs, or construction projects. All skilled work is carried out by paid local professionals.
Cultural Exchange & Learning
The focus is on cultural exchange, sharing skills, and learning together. Volunteers can practice English or Spanish, learn about vegetarian/vegan cooking, discover off-grid living, and share stories and knowledge from their own backgrounds. We love exchanging ideas about organic gardening, eco-living, and local Spanish culture particularly the rich history of the local area —and we are always eager to learn from our visitors as well.
Interaction & Community
We live and work together as a small group, sharing meals, stories, and daily routines. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their creativity and interests to our community—whether it’s a favorite recipe, a new gardening tip, or a song around the fire. Our hope is that everyone leaves with new skills, friendships, and memories.
If you’re looking for a genuine cultural exchange in beautiful nature, and are happy to lend a hand with simple, everyday eco-living, We would love love to hear from you! Elliot and Em.

Help
• We always point out to prospective volunteers that there is heavy lift involved (eg 25 Kilo gas bts).
• We operate on Spanish times for meals and helping, we also like to have a flexible approach to the day sometimes the day changed due to the weather for example and we ask that volunteers are easy going and adaptable.
• We would not ask more than 5 hours a day, helping around the weather to do mixed mornings and evenings.
Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
• We offer accommodation: in a shared caravan with shared kitchen and bathroom.
• We also have an amazing mountain pool to chill around.
• Good food and great company in return for 5 hours help a day.
What else ...
It is great place for hiking, the beach is only a 40 min bus ride away or you can just chill out under a lemon tree by the pool. If you want to experience real Spain off grid and disconnect this is the place for you.

Olivia is a jewel of a human and from office work to gardening nothing was too much, we can't recommend her highly enough.

Elliot is such a kind and generous host, with a fantastic sense of humour. The retreat is in an incredibly beautiful part of Spain (still can't get over the mountainous landscape, the wildflowers, lemon trees, the stars at night and fresh air!).
