Descripción
On a little farm in the mountains in Andalucía, close to Málaga, I live with two horses, a dog and a cat in a small cortijo. Since a while there are a few chicken with their rooster joining the team.
Two years ago we started to convert the site into a permaculture farm. Now we're in the designing process but started already with some small changes and experiments.

- We do worm composting with the horse manure on four different sites, and the chicken are also involved in this task.
Goal is to go fully sustainable with the least possible input from outside and least loss of water and nutrients.
There are first steps for a food forest, some fruit trees already planted and the mandala veggie garden expands, too.

Ayuda
We're starting with a new permaculture project.
We implemented already a worm farm to compost the horse manure.
You will help us to maintain it.
We created the water retention landscape and we will plant trees and bushes to prevent erosion, wind and loss of rain water as well as provide food and natural activity for the horses. A food forest will follow, which includes constructing natural little stone walls to get there.
We started a small vegetable garden.

I spent two months at Aninas Finca. Originally I only wanted to stay for one month but I liked it so much that I stayed double the time.
Anina is very generous and you can feel that she cares about her volunteers' wellbeing.
We cooked the most amazing healthy meals together and there was always more than enough food in the community kitchen.… read more Being vegetarian at Aninas finca was no problem. We shared at least one meal a day together and enjoyed conversations about many different topics. Having travelled and experienced a lot in her life Anina always has an interesting story to share and she still has a thriving adventure spirit.

The work is really diverse and flexible. There are always many different things to do on a farm. You can mostly choose your working time and your working task. Some things of course have to be done or have priority over others. I was working together with another volunteer which made work even more fun.
Once a week Daniel, the permaculture manager of the finca, comes and you do a tour with him where he explains about permaculture and gives you tasks for the upcoming week.
Daniel is very patient and will explain until you understand. You can ask him questions about permaculture and we also enjoyed philosophical conversations with him.
The work is a great opportunity to learn about permaculture, gardening, using farm tools, caring for horses and chickens and handyman skills in general.
The tasks outdoors and sometimes physically demanding which lies in the nature of farming. So be prepared to move your body and get your hands dirty. I enjoyed it a lot.

Anina takes great care of her animals. She has a playful dog, a cuddly cat, two wonderful horses and four funny chickens. She taught me many things about how to take care of a horse and how to handle a horse. I loved spending time with Anina and the horses.

One evening Anina took me and the other volunteer to a flamenco singer and guitar concert and we experienced some authentic Spanish culture. She also went with us to the coast a couple of times.

The farm is definitely off grid but once a day there is a bus connection to Málaga which I have used a couple of times. You just have to get up early to catch the bus. So if you want to spend a weekend in Malaga for example, that's possible. The finca is surrounded by beautiful nature and mountains. If you like hiking, there a plenty of possibilities to do so. So you can have calm beautiful country life and switch it up with a visit in Málaga, if you feel like it. Isn't that cool?

All in all I had an amazing experience. Thank you for hosting me Anina!

Anina has a beautiful project trying to recover the organic value of the land, using the cycles of organic matter. I have been able to be more aware of this process in a more direct way, and I have realized that they have awakened a deeper interest in me about the need to work based on permaculture principles. I have learned a lot about manure… read more
