Depending on the time of year you visit us, the weather and the season dictate the work we carry out. If you come in summer, we will spend the morning in the garden harvesting, weeding, and making improvements to the crops. If you visit us in autumn, you will help us improve the soil, make beds, and prepare the ground to start a new cycle of sowing. If you come in winter, you can help us make improvements to the house, put your construction and DIY skills into practice, while we prepare the first seed trays to start the crops. In spring, we do a lot of work with wild harvest and you can accompany us to different properties to harvest flowers and fruits with which we will later manufacture medicinal cosmetics and herbal remedies, while in our cabin we will focus on the garden, sowing, and preparing the crop cycle. If you come toward the end of the year, we will be at the peak of production, and you can be our helper in the manufacturing of phytopreparations, distillation of essential oils and work both in the garden and in the apothecary.
While daily activities vary with weather and season, we care for the garden year-round, and the tasks are:
- clearing areas with growth of herbs
- harvest of medicinal plants
- management and maintenance of the garden and irrigation systems
- implementing improvements such as beds of cultivation
Additionally, if marketing and social media are your talents, we always welcome help with:
- website optimization
- creating content for social media
- photography and video
Rules to follow so that we all have a good experience are:
- alcohol, cigarettes, or substances are not allowed in our home
- no loud music after 10 p.m.
- take care of the environment and keep the place clean
