Description
Our dream to change the city for the tranquility of the countryside and be self-sustaining is beginning to bear fruit. Around a year we have achieved our greenhouse mushroom production; vegetable garden; some fruits; plus a small plantation of lavender and rosemary to make essential oils.
We eat what we produce, we are happy and we want to share with you this great dream that has motivated many of our workawayers for making their own projects.
We financed with courses cultivation of edible and medicinal mushrooms and the sale of some of our products in organic fairs.
We are on the way to be self-sustaining we know that we have to much for doing but one day we will get.
We invite you to be part of this great project and share in family!

Staying here during one month was a very nice experience. The work is both varied and interesting and it's a really nice place with different things to do during the weekends.
Andrés has a communicative passion about his job with mushrooms growing and he and his family are very welcoming and helpful. A great place to work and to learn !
