Help with gardening and care for the animals at our sustainable project in Conquista, Spain

Detalhes

  Descrição

  Our project aims at creating food for humans in a sustainable way that mimics a natural ecosystem. Some people call that approach regenerative agriculture.
  
  We are not about extracting from the ecosystem but instead we aim to generate abundance so that we can take away the surplus for human consumption without forcing the whole system into decline.
  
  Our land is 45 ha located in the Valle de los Pedroches in Andalusia, Spain. It is situated in an old agroforestry system called Dehesa in Spanish. The landscape is dominated by oak trees and not much is left from the other vegetation that once existed. The soil is mostly damaged and has very few organic material in it.
  
  An ecosystem is complex and there is not a clear path to achieve anything. Nature is additive and for everything there are multiple ways and multiple actors. Nature is resilient because one could remove one element and the ecosystem keeps functioning. However, removing too much will likely lead to its decline.
  
  To us that means we work simultaneously on multiple topics and make decisions based on knowledge but to a large extend based on observation. What works elsewhere is an inspiration to us but we think we should not copy but instead find our way of applying a principle that has worked in a similar situation as ours.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Spain offers a special visa for young people from Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and Canada to come on a working holiday for up to 12 months. If you happen to be from these places there is a lot of opportunity to learn about each other's culture. It's actually a multi-cultural experience as we can not only introduce you to the Spanish culture also the German one.

  Ajuda

  We do not have any recurring tasks like farm chores (eg. feed the goats every morning or clean horse stalls). Instead we have a myriad of little and bigger projects. Depending on your experience and skills you can do them alone or become involved and we do it together.
  
  Our one and only employee Angel speaks Spanish only but I am fluent in German, English, and Spanish.
  
  Projects may involve:
  
  - planting, gardening
  - carpentry
  - metal working including welding
  - software development in the IoT space
  - horse training
  - other work with animals
  
  Eventually once infrastructure has improved we should be able to accept Workawayers who just stay a week or so but for the time being it is much better to stay a lot longer. That allows us to really plan something with you and make your stay here worthwhile for everybody.
  
  Search for us on the web and on YouTube and you can see what we are doing and which projects we have planned to do.

  Este anfitrião oferece intercâmbio de idiomas
  We speak three languages fluently. Our daughter is a bit autistic but is also able to speak all three languages. However, she does prefer English most of the time. If you happen to be a girl yourself, you can interact with her. She likes English and German more than Spanish though.

  Acomodação

  The old cortijo is in process of being remodeled. During Spring and Autumn the not insulated building works as accommodation given that people have a sleeping bag.
  
  We have 8 camping beds available and past volunteers found it ok (see images).
  
  Food/meals will be provided. There is also some basic kitchen available for volunteers.
