Help
Here you can learn how to grow organic produce in a relaxed Andalusian atmosphere. How to plant and care for the soil sustainably, make your own wine and drink it with friends. Taking care of the olive trees, harvesting the olives and producing my own high quality olive oil is one of the most important projects (Nov-Jan). This is a NON-profit private self-sufficiency project
I need help with olive harvesting/care and growing vegetables all year round. Also with irrigation in the summer, ongoing care of the land and looking after the animals ..... This is a private self-sufficiency project with more than 25 years of experience.
