    Description

    Come to our Circo to help and live 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, Mina & Elisa.

    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!
