  Descripción

  It is a beautiful 2 hectare farm with stunning views of Estrella Mountain and the surrounding valleys. We have here a drinking water spring , fire bath, bamboo forest, oak forest, a well, eco toilet, clay oven and a community event space called A Bolha (The Bubble) . We are off grid with solar panels and drink fresh water from the local spring. There is plenty of bamboo, olive trees, grapes, figs , pears, peaches and pine cones (pine nuts) to be harvested , worked with and enjoyed in different ways. I live here with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 2 rabbits and a cat. They are all the best of friends. I have had a steady run of volunteers to help out with all or any of the above as well as general land management , maintenance and gardening depending what the priorities are or weather permitting. We are surrounded by beautiful hikes and many rivers, river beaches, boulders, waterfalls and quartz crystals. There is a large cosy attic space for volunteers to have their own area and privacy , and for 3 hours a day, or 20 hours of support a week I offer full board including meals. The local community and villages are thriving with events, markets and a wide range of wholesome and alternative practices such as ecstatic dance or foraging walks.
