  Aide

  Please note: I am looking for longer term helpers. For stays less than a month, please don't apply.
  
  We are looking particularly for help with designing and implementing permaculture principals on the land, including water storage and distribution, food forests, vegetables and herbs.
  
  Other projects could include cob building, building a treehouse, creating a barefoot beekeeping area, help with maintaining the water channels (acequias) in the mountain, cooking meals or babysitting/dog sitting, help around the house.
  
  As I am travelling quite a lot, I'm looking for someone who can stay on the land and take care of it (and my dog) while I travel.
  
  There is an opportunity to get involved in the design process... the land is newly bought and at present it is mostly an olive plantation.

  Hébergement

  You will have a (new) 5 metre Mongolian yurt, and outdoor facilities (shower, compost toilets), all newly built. At the moment there is no electricity, only a solar phone charger, so will not suit someone who needs to work on a laptop. There is a possibility to occasionally charge laptops and other items in my house, but only for occasional use.
  
  For longer term helpers it's possible you will be asked to relocate to a 4m tipi during the warmer summer months.
