Hello! :)
This is Gerard, I am a 28 years old catalan guy who wants to invite you to help us to live more respectfully with the planet, surrounded by nature, good people and great atmosphere in Girona, Catalonia.
After many years of working in a very egocentric, materialistic and competitive society, I decided to leave the city and the stress and anxiety and surround myself with people with a similar purpose of life and create a project that take cares of the humanity and planet :)
I created with an increadible team of workawayers a self-sufficient farm and countryside hotel to connect people to nature. Everything is grow from 0, reused or recycled. With 100% renewable energy, we collect rainwater, electricity through solar panels, sewage treatment plants (phytodepuration) and hot water through the wood of our forest (sustainable logging management).
We are located in the middle of the forest and we have build a vegetable garden where we produce everything from fruits to vegetables ecologically. The farmhouse is located nearly Olot for 30 minutes from Gerona (Catalunya). We are surrounded by beautiful mountains, wild animals, rivers and roads.
The land consists of 85 hectares of forest and 15 hectares of land. We work with an edible forest, an ecological lake (with aquatic plants and fish), an orchard with permaculture greenhouse of 2 hectares, composter and bees to make honey. Also a large chicken coop, a small flock of sheep that work with the technique of rotational grazing in the fields from which we want in the future to use milk to make cheeses.
Our kitchen is ecological and and self-produced, from jams, pickles, sauerkraut, bread, seitan, liqueurs, to cheeses or honey. We have vegeterian options and macrobiotic self-production.
We are looking for people with concerns for living in the countryside, surrounded by nature, animals, and caring for the environment and people. We are a group of young people eager to learn and work well near the nature!
Next to the Masía where we live we have an ecological and sustainable hotel with staff who already work in it. We live with him but all our hours of work are focused on producing vegetables, caring for animals or building in our small farmhouse and only for self-consumption purposes :)
AH! And all this always with good vibe, energy, lots of jokes and fun.
IN LAK'ECH
Cheers :)

¡Hola! :)
Soy Gerard, tengo 28 años, hace 6 años y después de vivir muchos años con mucho trabajo en la ciudad y en una sociedad egocéntrica, materialista y competitiva decidí dejar el estrés y ansiedad que me generaba la ciudad y emprender un nuevo camino rodeado de gente con una filosofía de vida similar y con el propósito de crear un proyecto rural sostenible con animales y naturaleza salvaje :)
Somos una familia de gente con ganas de aprender y vivir cerca de la naturaleza, con unos ritmos de vida y unas prioridades diferentes a los de la ciudad.
Hemos construido una masía sostenible y ecológica que funciona al 100% con energías renovables del lugar. Situada en Girona, Catalunya, en la preciosa Vall de Llémena (La Garrotxa)
Recogemos la agua de lluvia que luego usamos en casa, la electricidad la hacemos con placas solares y baterías, depuramos las aguas negras mediante plantas (fitodepuración) y hacemos la agua caliente mediante la leña de nuestro bosque (gestión de tala sostenible). Tenemos una biopiscina de plantas.
Tenemos un huerto donde producimos todo lo que consumimos, de manera ecológica.
El terreno tiene de 60 hectáreas de bosque y 15 hectáreas de cultivo. Tenemos un bosque comestible de árboles frutales, un lago ecológico (con plantas acuáticas y peces), un campo de olivos con pastoreo regenerativo de corderos, un huerto de permacultura de 2 hectáreas, compostadores y unas colmenas de abejas para hacer miel.
También tenemos un gallinero, un rebaño de ovejas que trabajan con la técnica del pastoreo rotacional por los campos de olivos. Todo lo que hacemos es ecológico y de autoproducción: mermeladas, encurtidos, chucrut, pan, seitán, licores, quesos, miel, etc. Nuestra cocina es ecológica, con opciones vegetarianas y macrobiótica.
Buscamos gente con inquietudes por la vida en el campo, respetando la naturaleza, los animales, el medio ambiente y cuidando a las personas. Somos un grupo de gente joven con ganas de aprender y trabajar pasándolo bién junto a la naturaleza.
Al lado de la Masía en la que vivimos tenemos un hotel ecológico y sostenible con personal que ya trabaja en él. Convivimos junto a él pero todas nuestras horas de trabajo se centran en producir verduras, cuidar animales o construir en nuestra pequeña masía y sólo con objetivos de autoconsumo :)
¡AH! Y todo esto siempre con buena vibración, energía, bromas y pasándolo bien.
IN LAK'ECH
Un fuerte abrazo :)

The project is based on the principles of permaculture with the purpose of living respecting natural resources on the planet.

We use a sewage treatment plant cleaning by lakes with aquatic plants, bioconstruction work with straw and clay, horticultural cultivation through permaculture, homemade autoproductions of honey, cheese, jams, olives, bread, sauerkraut, pasta ...
You'll also have the opportunity to learn languages since at home we speak English, Spanish, Catalan and French daily.

All love in all moments. She can make all diferent things.

I spent a lot of time with the other workawayers there and for me they where the best aspect of this place!
