    Description

    We are Roser and Marc, and after a few years we return to this 3.000 m2 farm to make our dream come true, to live as self-sustainably as possible!
    The farm is now about 10 years old, the project is designed based on the principles of permaculture and with a spiritual and energetic vision and experience of Mother Earth. It has been dormant for the last year but we are reactivating it. We also are implementing syntropic strategies (syntropic agriculture)
    We want to live there again and we want to move towards comfortable simplicity. The project is a space for experimentation and self-sustainable living practices in almost every sense. It is not a business, we only cultivate for our own sustability, and to green a little bit more our Mother Earth. It is in an environment with a Mediterranean climate, facing east, it is a terraced space, next to a drinking water spring. We are committed to being a seed of paradigm change, starting with ourselves and our immediate environment. We work on collaboration and exchange with upcoming projects, creating a tribe.

    Somos Roser y Marc, y despues de algunos años volvemos a esta finca de 3.000 m2 para hacer realidad nuestro sueño, vivir lo más autosostenible posible!
    La finca tiene ya unos 10 años, el proyecto está diseñado basándose en los principios de permacultura y con una visión y vivencia espiritual y energética de la Madre Tierra. Ha estado en reposo el último año pero lo estamos reactivando. Estamos también implementado estrategias provenientes de la agricultura sintrópica.
    Queremos volver a vivir ahí y queremos tender hacia una confortable sencillez. El proyecto es un espacio de experimentación y prácticas de vida autosustentables en casi todos los sentidos. Esta finca no es un negocio, nosotros solo cultivamos para nuestra propia sostenibilidad y pare reverdecer un poco nuestra Madre Tierra. Está en un entorno de clima mediterráneo, orientado al este, es un espacio aterrazado, al lado de un naciente de agua de beber. Apostamos por ser una semilla de cambio de paradigma, empezando por nosotros mismos y nuestro entorno próximo. Trabajamos en la colaboración y el intercambio con proyectos próximos, haciendo tribu.
