Description
Hello!

I have a deep love for farming/gardening. I feel passionate about nature and taking care of the environment. I would love so much to learn more about permaculture, herbal medicine, forestry, and business management.

My main work experience has been in family farming and gardening/general labor through workaways, as well as wilderness and horticultural therapy for teens, teaching swim lessons, environmental conservation, receptionist, cashiering, etc.

I feel tremendous gratitude for the amazing people that I have come across while traveling, and I would like to continue meeting more amazing people while growing my own skills and helping others in the process!
I'm excited to meet and work along side you all!

I've done many Workaways and this is one of the better ones! I had a slightly different stay because we were able to be in the rental house and there were 4 other girls with me- it was a blast! Mark, Monica, Rio, and Sofia are all very kind and respectful. Monica is very accommodating and makes sure you have all the food you need and are… read more

Sierra worked here with us in a volunteer and leadership role in the Spring and early Summer of 2020. She insightfully identified, took on and inspired others - and myself - to carry out activities to make this a better space every day. Her work ethic and care in everything she did was incredible. We would have been overjoyed for her to accept a… read more

Sierra stayed with us during March and April 2020. She is a cheerful and helpful person, very easy to get along with. She was a willing worker, she cooked, cleaned, baked delicious sourdough bread and worked hard in our vineyard and helped with the animals, horses, sheep and goats. She was well liked by the other members of the team as well, a… read more

I spent a little over two months at Alan and Lara’s place and had an amazing time! They are gracious hosts who welcomed me last minute onto their farm and let me stay longer than planned due to the Corona outbreak. Alan is funny, an intellect, and a great and fair boss. Lara is caring, kind, a peacemaker, and in general an amazing woman! They both… read more

Sierra was a huge help in this project! She is a really sunny personality and really easy to get along with. She is also extremely hard working and willing. We were mainly involved in chain sawing around 12 tonnes of fire wood but thanks to her enthusiasm we made light work of this. I am sure Sierra would be an asset to just about any project.… read more

It was a short, but great time at Manuel’s!
He is very kind, creative, relaxed and has positive energy! He is an extremely talented artist as well! We had fun working on a video project, drinking vino, and sharing music. The area is beautiful with access to the mountains and downtown Granada. Thank you Manuel!
