  Description

  Organic homestead en el campo of Coín, Malagá. We are a multiple generation family, between the ages of 0 to 56, living on a finca. While the entire family isn’t here all the time a big part of our family is likely to be there. People of all ages welcome. We’ve bought this finca recently and there is much to do, we have many exciting projects to start and many projects to finish, and we’d love your help to create a beautiful place to live. The plan is to grow our own vegetables and create a permaculture style homestead.
  We are a majority vegan household but all diets are welcome. We don’t have any animals except our tiny dog Paquita with a big spirit.
  
  We are right now looking for people ASAP to help with the olive grove, pruning (if experienced) treatment and burning.
  We have little experience pruning olive trees but sufficient knowledge to get on with it, if you have experience and knowledge it is warmly welcome. Otherwise there is spraying and treating the cuts, and burning the branches afterwards.
  
  We have fruit trees and (for us) a large olive grove.
  We are interested in permaculture and organic farming and what we lack in experience we make up for with an eager desire to learn and develop so you who have experience or a will to work and experiment are warmly welcome.
  
  We are also looking for anyone who likes to clean, cook or work in the garden.
  Also if you have experience with carpentry, gardening, cooking, brick laying/ construction etc we have many projects where these skills would be useful.
  
  Our finca is completely non profit, it is in no way a business. it is a home for our family and everything we grow is merely for our own use.

  This project is quite new so more than anything we are looking for people who can help us with the workload.
  Tasks will be chosen during a meeting where we volunteer for the job that we feel most suited for but as there is a wide variety of tasks youll get a wide variety of jobs. We love to cooperate and work together.
