Description
We are an organic homestead farm in the Terra Alta of Catalunya. We have olive and almond trees and we live 100% off grid. We are a private homestead and do not sell anything to the public. We are near Gandesa, in the middle of the countriside. We are a couple in their sixties enjoying nature and the peace of rural life.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We like to share breakfast and lunch with our volunteers and talk about local and world issues. We are vegetarian.
We like to share our travel experiences and we like to hear about you.
We have a lot of entrepreneurial experience and have travelled a lot and we are open to hear about you.
We prepare a “clotxa” for our volunteers, a Terra Alta typical hearty breakfast. We also ask our volunteers to prepare a typical dish of their countries of origin or adoption.
The horrific “batalla del Ebre”, a key episode of the Spanish coup d’etat, took place nearby. We like to take our volunteers to the International Brigades museum in a village nearby so they can understand why and how many people from all over the world came to fight fascism during the Spanish fascist uprising.
Help
We will help volunteers learn about the tasks and provide them with very good accommodation. We would appreciate support in taking care of our farm, the trees, our garden, some rebuilding and small general maintenance tasks.

Accommodation
A fully independent small off-grid cottage in the middle of the almond groves. We cook and share breakfast and lunch and provide food for the rest of the meals.
What else ...
Best way to get to Gandesa, Tarragona, is by bus from Barcelona with the Hife bus company.
We have hosted volunteers from Germany, Canada, the USA, Ireland, France, Latvia, Hungary, Italy, Australia… you are all welcome.
Ours is a remote rural area, so do not expect to find nightlife or crowds nearby. Nature, solitude, meditation, reading, music, nature, wind, birds, foxes, medicinal plants and plenty more is what you can do and what you will find with us. We provide a bike so you can move around and go shopping to the village if you need to.
All are welcome but we prioritize to host people with several prior volunteer experiences. If you have no prior volunteering experiences, please tell us why you think you would like to contribute your work to our farm.
