Description
Help to build up a sustainable life
We are Ladina & Sam and we have a beautiful vision: „Our greatest desire is to grow our own fruits and vegetables for our wonderful Kids!“
We have a Land. We have a Dream.
* Permaculture
* Eco-friendly
* Community
* Family Life
* Earthkeeping
* Cavedigging
* Biodynamic Gardening
* Creative Upcycling
* Building Water and Solar System
Who we are:
Ladina is the „big mama“ here. She loves to cook, would like to do more physical work in the Garden when she has time and takes care that everybody is feeling well.
Sam is a Permaculture Designer, Worker and our „Mac Gyver“ from SwIreland ;-)
Our 3 girls are Naira 4, Mina 8 & Elisa 10.
Our land is located in the mountains near the little village „El Desierto“ (close to Granadilla and San Isidro) 20 minutes drive from the ocean and 10 minutes to walk to the Climbingvalley.
We have a dry compost toilet, running water, a hot solar shower, a cave kitchen, solar energy, electricity and millions of stars to look at in the night.
Looking forward to hear from you! -

Besides hard physical work in gardening, building with wood and stones, we decorate creatively with colors and natural materials, cook, keep the kids busy, or they keep us ;).... and we would like to practice QiGong or Yoga.

Accommodation
You’ll stay in one of our cozy campers, equipped with bedding and towels. Showers run on solar-heated water, and our electricity comes from solar power too. We use compost toilets on the farm, and a washing machine is available for laundry.
Volunteering hours can be adjusted to fit your stay. With the standard hours, food is not included, and Workawayers take care of their own meals. During your stay with us, we expect you to mainly shop and eat organic. We’re happy to bring you along on our regular grocery runs and weekly farmers market visits. If you do 5 hours on 5 days a week, organic food is included. -
What else ...
Enjoy the mountains, the ocean (20 minutes drive), climbing, surfing, swimming and incredible spots of the biggest canary island Tenerife.
