  Descripción

  In general, I'm a busy bee. I like to make a place beautiful, sometimes with simple things from nature that come your way. Sometimes things are time consuming, especially if you are trying to recycle a lot of materials, patience and creativity are more than welcome.My profession: Yurts are my main business. Assembling, sewing and replacing the various cloths. I like to be creative with fabrics and I have an upcycle collection of woolen items such as leg warmers, mittens, hats and cardigans. I am still preparing a tiny workshop to work with leather and beads I prefer to eat as much homegrown food as possible, in the moment the vegetable garden is not active though... It is a challenge to properly dry and/or preserve all the fruit that can be harvested and to slowly start the vegetable garden. I try to recycle as much as possible and don't be surprised if you sometimes see plastic bags hanging on the washing line. It would be nice if you, as a workawayer, also had this drive to some extent and helped with reuse and bring as little new plastic as possible in the form of "waste". This is a very green place with many fruit trees, nut trees, olives and grapes. It is wonderful to stay here.

  Ayuda

  In the spring of 2023 I started to prepare the finca to be able to receive friends and helpers .Aim is to save as much as possible the formal permanente culture finca and to improve the acomadations where the helpers or friends can stay, and the gardens around them. Until the end of 2021 the vegetable garden was fully in use and the finca was largely self sufficiënt. The previous owner has put her heart and soul into it for years.Since I don't have much experience in the field of permaculture yet, I most need people who know about this, so that we can bundle our knowledge together and determine in consultation the work that they need. Currently it is a green oasis, where I do my best to maintain the super fertile and fertilized vegetable beds, even though no vegetables are growing now, I try not to enter them, so that after removing the unwanted plants they are suitable for growing vegetables without plowing.
  Activities will include garden maintenance such as fencing vegetable beds, digging up trees, moving soil, processing fruit, harvesting olives (December/January). Watering the beds. Composting. I can also share my knowledge about yurts. . Shopping . Making yogurt and kombucha. drying herbs and fruit. Painting and maintenance of the buildings.

  Alojamiento

  There is a mobile home at the entrance which has an own kitchen and shower. The compost toilet is elsewhere on the finca. In a little studio I can receive helpers/family/guest for temporary staying. Ih has a kitchen, woodturner and 2 beds. The bathroom is shared. There is a compost toilet that is preferably used. After many years of working in small spaces, I now have access to a larger studio. I'm sleeping in a tiny house with an outdoor kitchen. There are about 36 fruit trees on the land plus many grapes and a number of olive trees. You can find wonderful spots such as on the edge of the water basin where you can spot the goldfishes and/or the snake. There are many birds that I am still discovering.
