Help needed for my project this summer in Taragona, Spain

  Descripción

  I have 2.5 hectares of olive and almond groves and a small vegetable garden. I am slowly trying to develop a self sufficiency project based on the permaculture principles. My long term project is to turn the land into a learning centre with facilities to host hands on workshops and courses. At the moment I’m focusing on the conversion from conventional to organic and I am building some structures with the little money that I have. Since the pandemic, I have been living on my land where I currently have a camperized van, a small garage and a stone house (quite small). I have now started a full time job and I would love someone to help me with daily chores (mostly feeding chickens and watering the garden)
  
  I have very little infrastructure but the helper could use the van as accomodation (Bed, small kitchen, table, chair, linen, towels...). Theres a vegetable garden where helpers can help and also help themselves and Ill provide the rest of the food if needed and water also. The work is not much, just a few hours a week, and very light, I just need some assistance with watering and feeding the chikens as I have some crazy work schedules and I like to have always someone on my land. Ideally, the best experiences have been when people come in their own van, but individual volunteers with flexible attitudes will also have a good time. There are also materials and tools to carry on with ongoing projects for extra creative volunteers! but this is completely optional.
  
  In addition, I work for a gleaning NGO and we go to locald fields to harvest vegetables that would otherwise go wasted and we donate them to charities (foodbanks, etc..) The organisation is volunteer based and the workawayer would be more that welcome to join in! (Also totally optional)
  
  I am 10 minute walk from the local village, Riudecanyes, where thers a couple of bars and a couple of shops. In the village area there is a small network of likeminded people also developing different eco projects that can provide some friendly social contact and help with logistics.
  
  My land is quite basic but there is a simple cold water shower, a dry toilet and the van covers all the basic needs (bed, kitchen, sitting area). I also run on solar power and have a small fridge but power is limited at the moment.
  
  It’s obviously not for everyone but it would suit someone that is looking to connect with nature and live a very basic life for a few weeks.
  
  I hope you guys are interested. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to know more!

  Puede acoger a nómadas digitales

  No problem for that but: No internet on the property but there’s good 3G/4G connection. (I myself work from the land sometimes and the reception is good enough for emails, downloading small docs, and even zoom calls) I have a solar system for electricity to charge computers.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  This is the ideal option. Someone travelling on their campervan, that would like a quite place in nature to stay and in exchange they can help with small chores when I am not around.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  I have recently aquired chikens, so maybe if you have dogs that could be an issue.....But in general I am open to pets.
