Description
Welcome to our Farm!
We are Mark and Cally.
Ex healthcare professionals.
We have 17 acres of land in Northern Catalonia.
We are about a 2 hour drive inland from Barcelona and 1 hour to the nearest beach (Miama Plaja)
We are trying to live a simple, satisfying life away from the pressures of modern life.
We have a small off grid house with solar power, bottled gas and agricultural water for the land.
We have been here 2 years and really need some help around the land.
Planting and tending to the crops and flowers, repairing generally anything we (or nature) break, coming up with ideas for sustainable living.
We have 2 small dogs and hope to soon have chickens and goats.
We are very private people, like to do our work in the day then sit on the terrace and watch the sun go down with a drink or two!
We have a small camper van, basic but suitable for a couple and a 10m2 metal hut which can get hot in summer but has 2 single beds that can become a double bed, WiFi and electricity.
If you prefer, you can bring your own van or tent.
We don't ask for much, a couple of hours a day in return for the accommodation, WiFi and power.
