Description
More and more I am realising that the farm does much more than producing, it has brought people together, healed many, rested most, and I think delighted almost everyone. The guests have all mentioned how this was a life changiung experience, in fact I want to develop that side of the farm and keep helping people restoring their balance, recharge their batteries or whatever they need, it seems the farm does that. I think most guests would agree.
Spring is here and summer is on it's way!
We have lots of planting to do. It's time for the broccoli, onions, Brussel sprouts, lettuce, and so many more! Always something growing to feed us. Kiwis and mandarins have been harvested and then comes the oranges and avocado's.
The helpers have been great, we have been working and having fun, nice BBQs and visits in the area. We have now discovered we can walk up the river for more than 2 hours, canyoning style! Hiking and swimming in the ponds.
(please check my reviews I am so proud of them!!)
The farm is really amazing, it stands in the middle of a biosphere of pine trees just above a stream. It is blessed with quantities of pure water, for the Wim Hoff followers there is a waterfall with a large pond where you can swim and meditate.
The atmosphere amongst the workawayers is so nice, exchange and a sense of team making everything flow.
We cook, clean, and eat together
Experience and omnivores always have preference.

Located in the south of Spain the farm is 30 min away from a major coastal city with lots of life and Andalusian culture. It is situated in the heart of Andalusia close from many large and ancient cities like cordoba, granada, seville...

The farm is well maintained, has water and watering system already in place, but all needs improvement and needs a slow transformation to more sustainable and efficient systems. We are always doing all kinds of different projects so any skill is welcome. We are on solar power. We have hot showers.
