This is a project to promote low impact living based on a large organic farm, mainly olive groves, some almond and fruit trees,large vegetable plots,and several self built houses using eco building methods.situated in a valley with no road access but only 5 mins walk from the nearest village and 30 mins from a lively alternative town.(Orgiva)
We are completely off grid- solar power, compost toilets etc.
We have up to 10 volunteers at any one time helping with the running of the farm, self sufficiency (we produce all the fruit and veg we consume),looking after the animals (chickens, donkeys),eco building projects,reed-bed systems,olive harvest etc. etc.
Kate is also a member of a small organic olive oil co-op where we take the olives and president of our recently formed association which promotes eco lifestyles via workshops, courses and other activities.
We also organize workshops and courses related to low-impact living which are held in our 7m diametre yurt.
We are open to DEDICATED LONGTERM VOLUNTEERS AND RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO JOIN THE PROJECT..(preferably with some experience- veg gardens, animals, watering, strimming and chainsaw,,building, solar electrics, carpentry etc etc.....).
