Description
We are a family-run agroecological project guided by the principles of permaculture and regenerative agriculture, focused on personal self-sufficiency and knowledge sharing. Currently, one person lives on the farm, and two others collaborate regularly. Our project is centered around a lifestyle of living off the land and maintaining our traditional farmhouse.
We do not require any help for business or profitable activities. The tasks are related to our self-sufficiency and the maintenance of the farm.
The main tasks include daily chores focused on our own consumption and lifestyle:
- Self-sufficiency Garden: Working in the vegetable garden for our daily meals (sowing, planting, harvesting, and caring for seedlings).
- Traditional Bread Making: Making bread for our own household consumption: from sowing the ancient grain to baking in the wood-fired oven.
- Home Maintenance: Making firewood for the wood stove and maintenance of irrigation/water systems.
- Preserving Food: Making preserves for our pantry from the garden surplus.
- Animal Care: Caring for our companion animals (horses, chickens, a dog, and 2 cats).
A typical day usually starts at 7 a.m. with animal care: feeding the horses, letting the chickens out, and watering seedlings in the greenhouse. After that, we focus on chores to keep the project running.
We provide individual accommodation and a shared living area. Almost all food comes from our own garden. Meals are prepared together using our own vegetables and olive oil. Cooking is a shared social moment, and we usually enjoy at least one meal per day as a group.
SPANISH:
Somos un proyecto familiar agroecológico guiado por los principios de la permacultura, enfocado en la autosuficiencia y el intercambio de conocimientos. Actualmente vive una persona en la granja y otras dos colaboran regularmente.
No se requiere ayuda para actividades comerciales o con fines de lucro. Todas las tareas están destinadas al autoconsumo y al mantenimiento de nuestra granja.
Las tareas principales son de carácter doméstico y de mantenimiento para la vida en el campo:
- Huerto para autoconsumo: Siembra, plantación y cuidado de las verduras que consumimos en casa.
- Elaboración de pan: Todo el proceso, desde el cereal hasta el horno de leña, destinado a nuestra alimentación.
- Mantenimiento: Hacer leña para la estufa y mantenimiento básico de los sistemas de agua.
- Conservas: Preparación de excedentes del huerto para nuestra despensa.
- Cuidado de animales: Atención diaria a los caballos, gallinas, perro y gatos.
Un día típico empieza dando de comer a los caballos, abrir las gallinas, regar el plantel del invernadero... y despues el resto de tareas especificas de cada dia
Ofrecemos habitación individual y una zona de estar compartida. La alimentación proviene casi íntegramente de nuestro huerto y se cocina de forma compartida.
Pedimos 25 horas semanales de dedicación, totalmente flexibles. Además de las tareas, hay muchas posibilidades de disfrutar de la naturaleza de Solsona y de nuestro taller de bricolaje.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Besides farm tasks, there are many opportunities to enjoy nature: the farm is very quiet and secluded, yet only 5 minutes by car from Solsona (and 15 by bike), a town with a lively cultural and social scene. In summer, you can cool off in nearby rivers.

Además del trabajo en la granja, hay muchas posibilidades de disfrutar de la naturaleza: estamos situados en una zona muy tranquila y aislada, pero a solo 5 minutos en coche de Solsona (15 en bicicleta), un pueblo con bastante vida cultural y social. En verano, se puede disfrutar de los ríos cercanos para refrescarse.
Help
We ask for around 25 hours of work per week, flexible and adaptable.
