  Description

  I have been travelling and living at Eco Projects for the last few years. Most of the projects I have been involved in revolve around Permaculture.
  My true passion lies with Natural Building and that's mainly what I have been doing with my extra time. I now have the opportunity to tend to my own land here in North Euboea.
  I am setting up a small farm, mainly based on techniques used in Regenerative Agriculture. I believe the project will flourish into a functional, profitable farm. It hosts students and enthusiasts looking to learn about basic regenerative agricultural techniques and demonstrate a clear transparent example of how to live in a healthy, profitable, self-sustaining habitat.

  1. Natural Building
  Dry Compost Toilet - I have almost finished this structure using Earthbags (Super Adobe), Cane and Cob, finished with Lime Plaster. This project only needs some finishing touches.
  
  Outdoor Showers - Simple roofless structure using Stone, Cane and Cob with Lime Plaster.
  
  Little Stone House - There is already a stone structure on the field that requires renovation. The tiled roof with its wooden beams has been removed and reconstructed. The walls need to be plastered, doors and windows need to be sorted, as well as creating the interior space i.e floor, furniture, kitchen etc.
  
  2. Olive Trees
  In 2020 I took over my grandfather's fields which contain about 200 olive trees. Depending on the time of the year, there is always some tending to they need. Whether it be :
  Oct-Dec - Harvesting the olives by hand to make olive oil,
  Feb-May - Prunning and Treating,
  In free time making compost, mulching, etc.
  
  3. Outdoor Kitchen/Bar
  This project will use a combination of materials such as Cane, Cob, Stone, Wood and Lime. It is a great opportunity for someone with little or no experience to learn the basics.
  Structures will include at least one pizza oven, a rocket stove, an underground pantry and a few other items.

  Autres infos...

  The village life is pretty typical. Work in the morning and Tsipuro (the local spirit) from lunchtime onwards. The area is surrounded by nature. Vast forests stretch down to beautiful beaches and peppered with waterfalls and mountainous peaks. Volunteers will have to make their own arrangements if they want to see the area's sites on their time off.
  Please note that the house in town is near a church and can be noisy, especially on the weekends.
