**LONG TERM
**Looking for a long term workawayer minimum 6 months. Ideally a year. Contact only in this case please.
Hello everyone, my name is Alba, I am Spanish and I have lived in Turrialba area for a few years where I started a permaculture project in the mountains. Now I live here with my baby girl , born in October 2022 , my dogs, cat and Chickens;-)
******
This is a project born with the mission of learnning the transition to a more selfsufficient and sustainable life in nature with a vision of abundance and prosperity , enough for a small family and maybe a small community that could live here in the future. We plan to grow in that direction through cultivating most of our food, and managing our wastes in a natural and much more conscious way , through agroecological and permaculture thechniques and cultivating an agroforestry system to produce our crops combined with timber and other species to get natural construction materials .
Till now I have been focused in fixing my small cabin, building another one for rent , constructing a spring water captation reservoir , a workshop building with a comunal kitchen, a cabin where to host volunteers and other colaborators for the project and a terrace type greengardens and agroforestry área.
We live here with no electricity and barely signal arroud the farm( almost non). wich is something that I enjoy very much since it keep us focused and connected to each other as well as a very calm vibe arround. However we are now studying the options to bring some type of power to the property.
** ( There is a neighbour up the road offering laundry, wifi and electricity services to thouse that need It . 600m up the road from the farm . )
We like to keep a simple life, enjoy to meet people from other cultures and would enjoy developing this space with the touch and vision of people that can share their knowledge and experiences while leaving here their beautiful footprint. The vision is to have a small community stablished here in the future to share the spaces and development responsabilities .Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado
