  Description

  My name is Susana. For the past five years, I've been living in a van in the middle of the forest, a five-minute walk from a crystal-clear river in Forzáns, a land of native rivers and forests, wildlife, clean air, and silence. The nearest town, Ponte Caldelas, is a five-minute drive away, and the nearest city, Pontevedra, is a half-hour away.
  Occasionally, I spend time with a friend, our colleagues, and our chickens. My intention is to live here and off the land, and to make our presence as noninvasive as possible, disrupting the environment as little as possible. We are curious and self-taught; we like to build and create.
  I grow several crops, including mushrooms and strawberries, as well as a family garden and a food forest project. We have water from our own spring, which supplies the farm with a ram pump, and a biopool is under construction.
  The project is growing and is yet to be built. Regeneration, agroecology, and bioconstruction are our driving force. We're looking for people who love nature, are responsible, and easygoing. The farm tasks are done in the morning, from the time the rooster crows until lunchtime, and in the afternoons everyone does their own thing. If you want to put your energy and heart into these lands, you're welcome.
  Health and happiness.
  
  Soy Susana, desde hace cinco años vivo en una furgoneta, en el medio del bosque, a cinco minutos caminando de un rio de aguas cristalinas, en Forzáns, tierra de ríos y bosques autóctonos, fauna salvaje, aire limpio y silencio. El pueblo mas cercano, Ponte Caldelas está a cinco minutos en coche y a media hora la ciudad mas cercana, Pontevedra.
  Por temporadas comparto con una amiga, nuestros compañeros y nuestras gallinas . Mi intención es vivir aquí y de la tierra, y que nuestra presencia sea lo menos invasiva posible, alterando lo menos posible el entorno. Somos curiosas y autodidactas, nos gusta construir y crear.
  Tengo varios cultivos entre ellos setas y fresas, ademas de una huerta familiar y un proyecto de bosque de alimentos. Tenemos agua de nuestro propio manantial, que abastece la finca con una bomba de ariete, y una biopiscina que está en construcción .
  El proyecto crece, y está por construir. Regeneración, agroecología y bioconstrucción son nuestro motor.
  Buscamos personas a las que les guste la naturaleza, responsables y tranquilas .
  Las tareas en la finca se hacen por la mañana, desde que canta el gallo ;) hasta la hora de comer, y por las tardes cada uno hace sus cosas . Si quieres poner tu energía y tu corazón en estas tierras eres bien recibido.
  Salud y alegría.
