    Description

    We are Adrià and Emeline, a couple who have a farm where we are building in bioconstruction. Now in this year 2024 we are going to have a time of bioconstruction and planting of different crops, in 2025 we are going to establish different crops, including cocoa, vanilla and others. We offer an exchange of 4:30h-5h a day in exchange for lodging and food from Monday to Friday. On weekends we use the food that is still there and if the volunteer wants to supplement they can get food to add. The food is 90% vegetarian-vegan since 2-3 meals a week are with animal protein (chicken and fish). Cannabis is not consumed in the house (there is a space 10m away where you can smoke cannabis) in the house alcohol is not consumed regularly, from time to time one day a week we gather around the fire to celebrate life without excesses or recreational substances. It is a house, a home with 2 dogs and 2 cats. People with animals that get along with the ones in the house are welcome. We are all in the process of learning about ourselves. Volunteering is established for projects of different duration, all have a minimum duration of 2 weeks. In the first week, both parties can end their collaboration if they want. Welcome to people who want to learn about life in the countryside, sharing knowledge and seeing each moment in the reflection of each one.

    Mi nombre es Adrià y con Emeline somos una pareja que tiene una finca donde estamos construyendo en bioconstrucción. Ahora en este año 2024 vamos a tener momento de bioconstrucción y de siembra de diferentes cultivos, en 2025 vamos a establecer diferentes cultivos, entre ellos cacao, vainilla y otros.

    Ofrecemos un intercambia de 4:30h-5h al día a cambio de hospedaje y la alimentación de lunes a viernes. Los Fines de semana usamos la comida que aun hay y si el voluntario quiere complementar puede conseguir alimentos para sumar. La alimentación es 90% vegetariana-vegana y a la semana 2-3 comidas son con proteína animal ( pollo y pescado).
    En la casa no se consume cannabis ( hay un espacio a 10m que si se puede fumar cannabis) en la casa no se toma alcohol de forma regular, de vez en cuando un dia a la semana nos reunimos alrededor del fuego a celebrar la vida sin excesos ni sustancias recreativas. Es una casa un hogar con 2 perras y 2 gatos, bienvenidos personas con animales que se lleven bien con los de la casa.

    Todos y todas estamos en procesos de aprendizaje de uno mismo, los voluntariados se establecen por proyectos de duración diferente, todos tienen una duración mínima de 2 semanas, en la primera semana las dos partes pueden si quieren terminar la colaboración.
