  • Description

    Description

    We are a newly retired English couple who want to live a more sustainable, close to nature, eco lifestyle. We have a beautiful old Andalusian farm house on the outskirts of Orgiva but within walking distance of town. We have been renovating the house for the last 4 years and have just installed two solar systems, one for hot water and one for electricity.
    We have less than one acre of land with 40 olive trees and a wide variety of other fruit and nut trees. We also have a vegetable patch, wild flower area, wildlife pond, swimming pool, and several terraces. We try to maintain the land organically, using permaculture principles and garden in line with the moon cycles.
    There is also the option of helping with our 2 grandsons (Louie 2 & 1/2 and Luca 9 months) who live nearby and visit regularly.

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    Orgiva is an alternative, multi-cultural community located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains (the Alpujarras).
    We enjoy meeting new people, sharing and learning for mutual benefit. By staying here, we hope you will learn together with us more about permaculture principles and how to live off-grid.

  • Hébergement

    Hébergement

    We have a double room and a twin room, pictures attached.
    We would provide your food on your work days and in addition to your 4 hours work on the land, we ask that you get involved in all mealtimes. We either all prepare, cook and clean up together, or we share tasks and take turns.
    But on your days off we ask that you provide your own food for your main meals. You are welcome to use the facilities and cook for yourself, or enjoy days out!
    Please note this could also be time off for us and we like to have days out and eat out sometimes.

    We have a patch of land, where you can park a large campervan, which is next to the vegetable garden and wildlife pond. You would have use of a basic outdoor kitchen, compost toilet, shower, washing machine, electricity for charging etc, swimming pool (when in season), food from the garden when available and a plot to grow your own vegetables (for longer term workawayers). This would be in exchange for 2 hours work a day per person, 5 days a week.
