    Description

    The project consists in a farm with usual and unusual aromatic herbs, a big eco vegetable garden and 24 has of forest.
    3 months ago we have opened in the neighbour main house a eco-rural-tourism for little groupes, but this work is exclusively made for the worker team here, Carles, Steliana and myself.

    WE are situated in a beautiful and secluded mountainous environment, with precious views to the Mediterranean sea, next to the Montseny Natural Park, 30 km from the Costa Brava, in the province of Girona.

    WE NEED HELP IN THE NEXT AREAS in the garden, forest and things in relation with the vegetable garden
    -Gardener of vocation, with previous experience and knowledge. Or aswell, some person with knowledges or experience in eco or biodinamic agriculture

    - Person who enjoys working on the computer and can help us to keep updated the "El Quadern de Camp". "The field work list", where the work done in the vegetable garden; harvesting, sowing, planting, green manure, etc., is kept up to date for the CCPAE, than iF you want to have eco-denomination, you must to do.

    She /He could be able to create content from the daily life in the land , who loves nature, the walks, capture the peculiarity of the farm and its magical moments and the impeccability, beauty and generosity of the nature. For this position is essential to master castellano language, and, preferably, also Catalan. This position is not a full time, then the person will help aswell in other diary tasks, like prepare litlle wood, help in the lavanda, s fields, labelling preserves and seeds, preparing homeopatic remedies for tree and plants, compost, etc

    And if your thing is to be one handy, a super McGiver, come and maybe we won’t let you go... ;-))

    Welcome creative people, committed and . We will walk together following the rhythms of Nature, feeling the beauty around, and , really important to know,....working hard.

    And if you are looking for your own similar project, here you will have the opportunity to get in touch with the reality and challenges involved in the life on a forestry-agricultural farm where collaboration, work and resilience are always needed.

    From november, there are place for 1 volunter or one couple, in one private room with own bath , minimalist kitchen and direct way out to the garden.
    Also , we have a glamping tent where it is possible, ocasionally, to acomodate volunteer for shorter periods, 1-2 weeks.

    Actually, like allways, all the food and basical needs are provided , but not usually coocked by me , except if there is some person in the tent, than meals will be usually prepared for him/her.

    The stays we prefer between 2 and 3 months and openned to more long stays if the relation and colaboration makes both relaxed, useful , connected and makes us grow in diferent aspects, .

    We stablish a 7/12 days trial time to feel both parts feel comfortable and happy with the exchange,
    You will need to have your own travel assurance or similars, (Seguridad Social, for example)

    Really sorry, but after some misunderstandings about what it means real collaboration, we wellcome some feedback /reference/ from other hosts or previous collaborations.

    Important: We are in the mountain, 12 km of the civilitation,, living with rural timminig and enjoying a lot the sound of nature, a kind of silence. .Some persons feels the time here like a nature-retreat. I you feel bored quick not going to the bars, or not going to the town, or cities, probably this is not your place
    If you came with your own car, you will feel much more free and ready to know the beautiful environment that surrounds us,

    Although we respect individual freedom, alcohol and other drugs are not welcome.
    If you are some question or suggerence to do, don, t hesitate to contact with us.
    Thanks to read carefully !!!

    Our biggest wish is that this experience that we will share together will be unforgettable!
    Lluisa, Carles, Steliana and Rex
