Detalhes

Descrição
My name is Brian and I live on a small farm near to Mora D’Ebre, in rural Catalunya, where I cultivate olive and almond trees using organic principals, but I am not registered as an organic grower because the costs of registration are just too high. My farm is surrounded by mountains and pine forests so the views are rather spectacular and there are many mountain walking trails that pass close to my house. My house is some 5km on a tarmac road from town where there are shops, bars, a theatre, nightclubs, and all other necessities of life and within reason I am quite happy to deliver/collect if you need a night out in town.
I live alone with too many cats (7) and a dog that have all “turned up”, presumably after hearing that there is a mad old man who will look after them! I have 5 children (and three grandchildren) who visit from time to time so sometimes the house can get a bit busy.

Ajuda
Life here is fabulous but running my farm on my own can be a bit difficult as there are some jobs that are much more easily done with an additional pair or pairs of hands and that is why I am registering here on Work Away. Essentially the main hard job here is harvesting which is infinitely easier with more than one person, although tree pruning and general farm/garden work together with general maintenance work will be part of the job.

Acomodação
I have one spare bedroom in the house and I also have a two berth caravan that provides pretty basic accommodation, so showers etc would need to be taken in the house. I live off grid so have no mains services. My electricity is from solar panels, my water supply is from underground tanks which are filled with rainwater from my roof, so long relaxing showers are strictly off limits, although there is enough water for daily showers. I do have a satellite internet and telephone connection and wifi within the house, although I ask any workawayer to minimise facebook etc connections and to not download/stream music or films as my download allowance is small and I get very grumpy when this runs out thus depriving me of fast internet!
Algo mais...
I might be a bloke but even though I say it myself I am a pretty decent cook so you don't have to brace yourself for a diet of ready meals, pasta and stuff from tins!

He turned up on Saturday, as arranged. Did not work on Sunday as it was a weekend. On Monday he did some work and, whilst I had gone into town to meet a friend, he left without advising me and taking with him a book and a phone charger that I had lent him. I contacted him about these and he claimed that he would return the book and the charger, as… read more

Dave was with me for some three weeks helping me prune my young olive trees. He learned how to do the job very quickly so was able to work unsupervised for most of the time. He worked hard, so much so that I often had to remind him that he had done enough hours! Dave was good company and was fun to work with (and to have a few beers with at the… read more

Brian is an awesome guy and an awesome host. We spent a week harvesting almonds in a nice and relaxed working environment. Brian took us out to various bars and introduced us to a bunch of his friends. We especially enjoyed his taste in books and music. We loved hanging out with his cats and the food was great.

Gabrielle and Manners stayed with me for a week during which we were busy harvesting almonds. They were good fun and hardworking and were able to work unsupervised when necessary. I enjoyed their company and we had some good chats. I would willingly welcome them back, as would the brigade of cats!

Renan and Marilia spent two weeks with me helping me to prune my almond trees. They are a lovely couple who worked hard and with little instruction - I now think that they have become expert pruners! I very much enjoyed having them stay with me and they fitted in perfectly with my circle of friends. After two weeks they left to move on to… read more

Brian is a wonderful man, he is such a nice guy, very generous and kind. We spent two weeks in the farm and it was a great time. Brian is very wise and has a great taste for many things, such as books and music.

Cieran is a very hard working person who is good fun to be with. He helped me harvest my olives and showed more keenness to get on with the job than me! On the days when we could not do the olives he busied himself strimming around the farm and making it look tidy, which was wonderful. He needs little instruction, being competent at doing any… read more

I had three great weeks with Brian. He is an interesting man with a young soul. He has travelled a lot and he has many stories to tell.

The location is beatiful and the work is simple. The meals are great and he introduced me to all of his English and Catalan friends. As he knew that I didn't have much money, he generously supplied me with… read more

Staying with Brian was like visiting and doing a bit of work for one's lovable uncle. We only stayed a few days, but we would love to go back and stay longer. Brian is an excellent host and chef, and an interesting guy! The countryside is so lovely and the work was fun. Overall a terrific workaway experience!

We stayed with brian just for a week, Brian is a really fun and nice guy, always with a great humor. The work was very relaxed, somedays there was work and other days not too much. Brian knows how to cook, so we ate really good there; and in the evenings we always had some beers or wine talking about life or anything else.
Thanks for everything… read more
