  Description

  Hello, we are a young couple with a small baby, I am Dutch and my wife is Argentinian and we live in a small village in the pre pyrenees called Ayerbe. We both speak English and Spanish.
  
  During the spring and summer months this is a very touristic area both in nature and in adventure sports (rafting, kayaking, climbing) etc. There are also many historical monuments. Or just enjoy nature.
  
  I have some cows and sheep too feed ourselves and also work outside the home as a shepherd caring for sheep and other animals. My wife works with tourism in a spa hotel in a nearby town.
  
  Right now we have a project in hand to recover some abandoned fields where we are creating a space for our smallest animals. We also have the idea of building a hut with different bio-construction techniques and an underground greenhouse.
  
  You would be staying in our house and eating with us. We can cook for vegetarians but vegans no.
  The projects we will do are somewhat varied....
  
  The help consists of building fences and fixing the old ones.
  
  Tasks in my vegg garden
  
  Help in the fields pruning olive and almond trees or making firewood
  
  Bio construction tasks and small repairs
  
  
  We are looking for people who are enthusiatic and it is appreciated if they understand something about carpentry, construction, etc.
  
  Greetings and we will see you soon Jacob and Perla
  
  Hola, somos una pareja joven con un bebé pequeño, soy holandés y mi esposa es argentina yo llevo 30 años por Aragón.Vivimos en un pequeño pueblo en el pre pirineo llamado Ayerbe. Solemos hablar más en español en casa.
  
  Durante los meses de primavera y verano esta es una zona muy turística tanto en la naturaleza como en deportes de aventura (rafting, kayak, escalada) etc. También hay muchos monumentos históricos. O simplemente disfrutar de la naturaleza.
  
  Tengo alguna vaca para y oveja para casa y también trabajo fuera de casa como pastor cuidando ovejas y otros animales. Mi mujer trabaja con el turismo en un spa hotel en un pueblo cercano .
  
  Ahora mismo tenemos un proyecto entre manos de recuperar unos campos abandonados donde estamos creando un espacio para nuestros animales más pequeños. También tenemos idea de construir una caseta con distintas técnicas de bio-construcción y un invernadero subterráneo.
  
  Estarías hospedado en nuestra casa y comerías con nosotros. Podemos cocinar para vegetarianos pero veganos No.
  
  Los trabajos que haremos son algo variados....
  
  El trabajo consiste en ir construyendo vallados y arreglar los que estén viejos.
  
  Trabajos en mi huerto
  
  Trabajos en los campos podando oliveras y almendreras o haciendo leña
