Description
Hiya .I m Ali born in chefchaouen but left at the age of 19 for studies purposes ,I graduated from university also graduated from hostelry school from Fes then too a year gap for travelling i visited Spain and portugal.back to my home town after years of studies and travels my dream was always being able to set up small farm and live off grid with animals and plants.i started this last ten years aiming to live off grid and create my own simple place where I can have animals and take care of different trees and plant.now I have managed to build a house and plant trees even the place is not hundred per cent done however it looks amazing at least for me I love this place because it's in nature at the same time it's so close to the Medina and its attractions.
We are looking for workwyers members for helping out cleaning, and taking Care of animals 😄
We have chickens,plently of cats and three dogs.
Thé place IS so calm with a wonderful views to mountains surounding chefchaouen, thé Idea was to create a place eco.friendly we use energy solar to produce electricity besides WE have a well for the water, actually we welcome all workawayers with skills either in gardening or eco project,also people who Can help improve this little project as Well as WE need people who help with ideas with faming and animal care.
We prefer helpers to stay for a week and more and there is always the opportunity to stay longer if you're happy with us and we're happy with you :)
Despite the fact that the help has to be properly done, you will have a great time here and meet a bunch of cool people during your stay.
Also , we appreciate having volunteers who love being in nature and who hold love towards environment and who seek participating in making our environment better place to live with mindfulness thinking about the way we consume energy and how we could save it.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can teach you some arabic so you can order your food or shooping like the locals do. If you want, you can also learn or cookng some typical food of the region ! You will make many connections with the international community and you will become part of our small family of brothers and sisters and have amazing connections all around the world so you can always have a free place to stay. If you come around festivities you'll learn about our crazy culture and some really weird traditions. Other than that, you also try to soak in the Moroccan life whilst staying here as we do :D
Help
In our humble Farm l, we want you, in return, to take care of our dogs and cats, as well as clean the rooms and the kitchen, as well as feed the poultry, organize the furniture, and give an artistic touch if possible.We would need the workawayers to help out with general cleaning and changing beds, shopping for cleaning supplies and more.
The job requests is so simple auch as the daily irrigation of plants and trees .feeding cats, dogs and chickens in return I provide breakfast when I m staying there and also the utensils in the kitchen as plates,gas spices...for people who want to cook.
NB: as I have an independent energy and water I really care too much about the consumption of water and electricity. I expect people to do the same the wise manners to save water and electricity and avoid unneeded excess use of power and water only necessity.

I interested in Art .painting . gardening.animals .also curious about spirituality practices and what can nature provid to feed not only our biological needs but also our souls.
Accommodation
The property is a farm stay listed with other platforms but we are not so busy a long the year so sometimes we receive guests sometimes not when the weather is bad as we are located about 5km from the Medina and it's main attractions, also as the idea was about creating alternative ways of living, my main source of water is the well and for electricity is my simple solar installation which I keep reinforcing every time I could ,so I hope workawayers should read carefully my information so as to have clear idea about the place and it's surrounding it's all about helping to promote this little farm and make it an example in the area .
I do offer private room for workawayers during their stay at the farm.
What else ...
In the free time people could visit the Medina see it attractions and also of they are fan of hikes . They could do say trip to the cascades of Akchour which is about 17km from my farm.
Finally Workawayer s should notify that the place is off grid and in winter next home is muddy when it's rains and it's totally nature we are not tye city so if you are mountains like ver this could be your perfect place if not it won't be thank you for reading.
Cheers
