=========================
Hello people!
Here Adrià, I'm back in the project since I was resting a little bit with my newborn child and my girlfriend. We are a "work cooperative", trying to do a living from a polyfarming style farm with diversity of food products produced organicly for our local comunity.
We are right now around 3 people working in the farm, not money for more salaries but we are very glad if some of you come to help during the spring/summer months until the end of october.
I studied biology and always worried for wild ecosystems and biodiversity conservation, for few years I volunteered in many biological studies around the world, but then I realised that since Food Industry and Capitalism are the main cause of most of the really concerning environmental problems the only battle was against them.
So I did remember that my family had an old farm from the grandparents who nobody was using and I did study a master on organic farming. And some introductory course to permaculture too.
Here we are now, in a big old house, 8 hectareas and the animals; the 3 cows, the 80 hens, the 4 dogs and 3 cats...
And by the way with some friends we created an organization and started to prospect, interview old farmers and create a seed bank and traditional trees nursery. WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF SEEDS IN THE SEEDBANK OF THIS HOUSE!!!
The projects in the farm are :
- 0.8 ha veggies garden which take most of the work!
- 100 young sweet fruit trees and grapes ( fig trees, peers...)
- 20 almond trees
- 27 small pistachio trees
- 60 olive trees
- cereal crops
- feeding/taking care of cows and hens
- milking the cows and makig cottage cheese and iogurts (not in summer)
- Moving fences for cows to have fresh grass
- in september the cows will give birth !
We are 7 people living here right now (two volunteers, 5 workers) but in the summer everyone wants to go on holidays and we need your help! There will be 3 rooms for volunteers to stay of which two with a double bed and one a shared room with 4 single beds, there is also place to camp outside and the tree house..
In summer we start early (6 am) but have two breakfast breaks ;-) and cook lunch for each other alternately.
Since we might be many, we ask you to actively involve in Karma yoga (doing things for others: such as cleaning the compost toilet, the kitchen or a specific area..) and ask everyone to respect each others needs (to be clean, not leave your clothes lying around, if you are a smoker only smoke in the designated area, etc.
Volunteers work 5 days a week, 5 hours a day. If we are many we might ask to alternate the free days so that everyone can take a day off (Mar and Adria included 😉).
We will teach you how to take care of cows, calfs, chicken, a vegetable garden in Spanish summer.. It will be fun!Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Adria is very talkative and loves to explain or discuss everything related to his passions ( sustainable life, farming, nature, economy...).
Mar likes to hike, climb and dance. And is a big fan of trees and their wood.
we can give tips on where to go on free days, also show you the local food scenery.. (local farmers markets etc. )Ajuda
Mainly farming/gardening help which means weeding, harvesting, seedling, planting, watering...
Sometimes I also need help with some construction projects. If you have special skills in construction (laying tiles, construction laying concrete or creating garages) please mention this in your message.
We expect from volunteers to help in the usual domestic tasks ( sharing the cooking, washing dishes or some other usual tasks)
In summer we use to wake up really early to avoid the the hottest hours outsideIdiomas

It was my first workaway experience and I think it couldn't be better!
It's such a nice place there! I really liked the old house and the dogs were very friendly (I'm more a cat person so I was very happy to meet such nice dogs)! I've been there with other volunteers which made the work easier because we could work… read more
Had an amazing time working in the fields and with the cows. Adria has a great variety of vegetables… read more
A pesar de ello tubimos desacuerdos con la comida. Pedían tener huevos diáriamente y a veces tofu y setas para compensar la falta de carne y pescado. Lo cierto es que nuestro proyecto se dedica a producir comida y fomentar el consumo local y por ello tratamos siempre de cocinar con lo que… read more
No sé como describir esta experiencia increíble. No solo he encontrado un proyecto muy interesante con un trabajo que me gustaba mucho. (A veces repetitivo, pero bastante físico y si puedes ordeñar las vacas y hacer yogures o helado es variado)
También he encontrado casi una familia así que he vuelto después de un mes viajando en Francía.… read more
Adria and all his friends and family were very welcoming and open!
By my second week more (ex) workawayers arrived and it became a bit more busy in the house, which was a great community to be part of.

This was my first Workaday experience and I enjoyed it.
Adria and house buddies are a great bunch of people.Very easy to get along with and warm hearted.
They are very positive and enthusiastic about their projects.
I had a great time there for 5 weeks last year and would recommend it.
Thanks!
Desde el primer momento me sentí como en casa, por las personas y el lugar. Una casa poblada de gente con la que compartir pero también puedes encontrar tus espacios de soledad.
El proyecto me motivó mucho a trabajar y aportar algunos consejos e ideas. Me ha inspirado mucho Adrià y lo que ha llevado adelante,… read more
Quiso entender el proyecto, tomó notas, le dió vueltas y me assesoró con sus ideas y opiniones, fué muy útil.
Nos ayudó en trabajos físicamente muy duros ens sus horas extra cuando vió que ibamos apurados, y que las gallinas necesitaban más espacio.

We have been super pleased of hosting Vicenç the multiple times he came to our farm to give us a good hand even if he had to sleep in the tent, sharing bed or sharing couch with Dana.

Lorenzo tiene un corazon lo bastante inmenso como para albergar todo el esplandor del amazonas y por ese sé que me va a ayudar a crear un grupo ecoterrorista para desmantelar la industria de los combustibles fósiles y obligar a la socieda a reruralizarse y decrecer.
Es un hombre inquieto tanto… read more

Magda is a girl with a strong mind and kind/paceful personality ( or soul?:P). She is very responsable and hard worker, and really interested in farming. We shared beautiful songs, good meals and stimulant discusions about nature conservation, climatge chiange, spirituality and christianity. And I'm… read more
Dana is a wonderful, welcoming being, always smiling and excited to play, eat and go out. She takes care of Adria, who fits exactly the same description (except Dana is a dog and Adria is a human).
In this farm we discovered many tasks and became addicted to peeling garlics. We never get bored of his holy zucchinis which… read more

Trust on her, all you need to know is that when she says "ice" she means "house" and when she says you are "fat" she actually means you are "fit" which is not so bad. It's… read more

He studied and had very cool knowledges about ecologic economy, peak oil, energy return on investments for the different energetic sources.

Que no os confundan su tierna joventud y su fresca hermosura, Ilaria es savia, valiente y poderosa. Cuanta gente conoceis que a los veinte años haya sabido, de repente, hacerlo tan bien?

El lugar es magnifico, una enorme masia en el medio de la naturaleza, al lado de un rio.
