We are a couple who have a beautiful piece of land in Northern Spain, Galicia.
I am a foraging guide and herbalist. If you come to help us, you can of course get this knowledge. What would you like to know?
We are then developing a food forest and permaculture vegetable garden. Our goal is to live off-grid and more self-sufficient. Tents will also be available to spend the night in. We still have a lot to do for that. We need help with that. We are now building a compost toilet, outdoor kitchen and things like that. There is always work in the garden. We have a dog and chickens.
