Description

Hi!

I'm Agata (28), originally from Barcelona, Spain.

After completing my degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology, I moved to Norway to volunteer on a farm for six months. What started as an adventure ended up changing the direction of my whole life!

Since then, I've spent the past three years living and working on different farms across Norway, gaining experience in vegetable growing, animal care, orchard work, food processing and all sorts of everyday farm tasks. Now, I've taken things a step further by studying Agroecology in Denmark.

My interests and the way I see life are deeply rooted in four core values: self-sufficiency, nature, community and social commitment.

I believe in understanding where our food comes from, learning to provide for ourselves, living closer to nature and building communities based on cooperation and mutual support. But for me, it's also about something bigger than myself. I've always felt a genuine drive to help others, and I'd love to bring together my interest in sustainable living with social causes, whether through education, community projects or initiatives supporting people in vulnerable situations.

If I had to highlight something about me, I'd say I have a very open attitude towards life. I'm curious by nature, so I really enjoy learning constantly new things, getting involved in hands-on work, and having fun with it!

More details about your skills

Before my farming life, I built extensive experience in hospitality, working in restaurants, bars and even at festivals. I've also voluntereed with organizations such as the Red Cross, as I like helping others. These experiences have made me a versatile, polivalent, responsible, and proactive worker.

My first volunteering experience on the south of Norway, allowed me to develop skills related to agroecology, basic carpentry, and animal care (chickens, turkeys, ducks). I helped build a greenhouse from scratch, an outdoor kitchen, and a duck cage; and I assisted in preparing the field for planting various vegetables that would later be harvested.

Since then, I've worked in different places across Norway. On the west coast, I gained experienceat a steep mountain sheep farm, a large organic apple orchard, and a mixed farm with deer, lama and goats. In the north, I worked with icelandic horses, sheeps and lambs, goats and chickens, while also preparing a vegetable garden. In the south, I experienced the daily life of a small-scale market gardener.

In all those places I have expanded my knowledge of animal husbandry, farm maintenance, and general farm chores, working in all weather conditions.
Notable tasks I have performed include: help with shearing sheep, painting large walls, preparing and stacking A LOT of firewood, constructing fenced areas for deer, insulating and renovating a basement, mowing extensive lawns, planning and planting crops, packaging harvested produce for sale in stores and directly to customers, etc.
I must say that I am particularly skilled at organizing, cleaning, and arranging spaces.

I consider myself a hard worker. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I can do physical work and I like to get involve and do my best in any tasks.
