  I started my life as a farmer in 88 . Make a abandoned farm liveable keep in process. A vegetable garden, more than 100 fruit- olive and nut trees surrounding the base. The outer circle is represented by cared forest of native varieties of trees. I´m passionate about nature, in care about and enjoying it.
  The long term goal is a living community with independent living units and joint projects on and with the land.
  Do you like to help me and learn about self-sufficiency, permacultur in forest and garden, rural maintain ?
  
  you can accompany me to the weekly markets or to the supermarket once a week
  
  A beauty place in nature with forest, self-sufficient garden and fields. Donkey, dogs, cats, geese and chicken. Self supporting energy (photovoltaic + hydro power) waterfalls and source, river , cold basins and a beach by the lake want to be enjoyed. My son in the thirties with autism lives with me.due to personal health I reduced the agriculture to self-serve-size.

  Basic rule for your stay is keep y room tidy as some help with the meals
  Than there are various ways you can get involved:

  for one or two long term helper (6 month+) in exchange of 10 hours by week
  
  You can swim in the lake, climb or walk in direct surroundings make trips in the neighbourhood and cooperative projects.
  there are games and cards for rainy days. I like to share my experience as a self-supporter, and love to pass on my practical experience like about different tree species.
