    Description

    Help us creating our dream of an ecological permaculture vegetable market / garden and food forest in the south of the beautiful island, Tenerife, Spain. I prefer couples they really want to learn permaculture! I can teach you how to make and mantain a garden.
    "Us" that's Andre (46) and the 11 years old twins, Bosse and Pepe. I've always dreamt of a permaculture finca, but I was busy working as a jewelry designer and producer, without feeling any meaning in it anymore. In September we started constructing and preparing the vegetable market / garden.
    Since November we are harvesting and selling are first produce! We provide private clients, restaurants and yoga retreats. Mainly we grow salad, spinach and a lot of other greens. So far we have 210 vegetable beds. We also want to produce microgreens and fruits.

    At the moment we need help in maintaining the vegetable garden, implementing and maintaining food forests, building simple structures with wood and recycled materials, harvesting herbs, vegetables, fruits and processing them, farming maintenance in general. We prefer a couple who really wants to learn permaculture! If you looking for a cheap holiday, don't waste your time writing me.
    No stress if you aren't experienced! We do like to welcome people who are genuinely interested in permaculture, gardening and who are willing to learn the fairly easy work. I will be happy to teach you everything you need to know!
    The finca is located in Arico (+/- 40 min drive with my van - don't worry: I'll drive!).
    From Monday to Friday we leave at about 8.30 and we work for 5 hours (according to the daily goals).



    Further on, we love enjoying life, sharing experiences and much more .....
