    Hello
    I am a farmer on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, where I have an orchard of fruit trees—mostly coffee trees—as well as vegetable gardens and chicken coops (with geese and turkeys).
    If you enjoy the outdoors, being in touch with nature, and working in breathtaking landscapes,
    I’m looking for someone to help me with various tasks, such as watering, weeding, removing suckers, pruning, harvesting and processing coffee, etc., and to take full care of the finca when I’m away ( a week’s vacation from September 6 to 15) . I look forward to meeting you, Marc

    Hola
    Soy agricultor en la isla de La Palma, en las Islas Canarias, donde tengo un bosque de árboles frutales, en su mayoría cafetos, además de huertos y gallineros (con gansos y pavos).
    Si te gusta la vida al aire libre, en contacto con la naturaleza, y trabajar en paisajes impresionantes.
    Busco a alguien que me ayude con estas diferentes tareas, como regar, quitar las malas hierbas y los brotes laterales, podar, recolectar y procesar el café, etc., y que se encargue por completo de la finca cuando yo no esté (una semana de vacaciones del 6 al 15 de septiembre). Espero conocerte pronto, Marc

    Bonjour
    Je suis agriculteur sur l'ile de La Palma dans les Canaries ou je dispose d'une foret d'arbres fruitiers dont une majorité de caféiers, ainsi que des potagers, poulaillers (oies et de dindons).
    Si vous aimez la vie au grand air, en contact avec la nature, travailler dans des paysages a couper le souffle.
    Je recherche quelqu'un pour m'aider dans ces différentes tâches, comme l'arrosage, enlever les mauvaises herbes, les gourmands, élaguer, la récolte et traitement du café etc...et de s'occuper totalement de la finca quand je ne suis pas là ( une semaine de vacances du 6 au 15 Septembre) . Au plaisir de vous rencontrer, Marc

    I'm looking for someone responsible, motivated, and skilled, capable of working proactively and independently.
    This is an organic farming job, without a tractor, so your back will be under a lot of strain.
    It involves watering the bushes, which means digging or renewing the holes in the ground to pour the water, removing weeds from the base of the trees, and, depending on the season, harvesting, pruning the trees, and clearing brush when the grass grows too long and blocks the irrigation hoses. You'll also be taking care of the geese, turkeys, and chickens, which includes washing their waterers and feeding them.

    This involves watering the shrubs, which means creating/renovating the earthen basins to hold the water, removing weeds around the base of the trees, and depending on the season, harvesting, pruning the trees, and clearing brush when the grass is too high and obstructs the hoses. It also involves caring for the geese, turkeys, and chickens, which means washing their waterers and feeding them.

    Busco a alguien responsable, motivado y hábil, capaz de trabajar de forma proactiva y autónoma.
    Se trata de un trabajo de agricultura ecológica, sin tractor, por lo que la espalda se ve muy solicitada
    Consiste en regar los arbustos, es decir, hacer o renovar los hoyos en la tierra para verter el agua, quitar las malas hierbas de la base de los árboles y, según la temporada, cosechar, podar los árboles y desbrozar cuando la hierba crece demasiado y impide el paso de las mangueras de riego...
    Cuidar de los gansos, los pavos y las gallinas, lo que implica lavar sus bebederos y darles de comer.

    Je recherche quelqu'un de responsable, motivé et habile ,capable de travailler pro-activement et indépendemment .
    C'est un travail d'agriculture écologique, sans tracteur, donc le dos est beaucoup solicité

    Il s'agit d' arroser les arbustes, cad faire /rénover les cuvettes de terre pour y mettre l'eau, enlever les mauvaises herbes aux pieds des arbres, et selon la saison, récolter, tailler les arbres, débrousailler quand les herbes sont trop hautes et empeche l'e passage des tuyaux d'arrosage....
    S'occuper des oies, dindes et poules, donc laver leurs abreuvoirs et donner la nourriture.
