Program Details

We are very interested in permaculture, education, and the values of life in a community. We really like doing things ourselves!!! We enjoy sharing moments and living together. That is why we always try to do the house chores and tasks together.

The house is very large and beautiful, with a room for volunteers, terraces, lounges, a kitchen and a wonderful garden, surrounded by forest and with a lot of tranquility.
We usually have dinner together, but meals are more independent due to the different schedules we share. Volunteers always have access to the kitchen and food as if they were at home.
We have a natural pool, which in summer is fantastic!

One of the house projects is the cultivation of vegetables, greens, cereals, organic legumes, for sale.

Another project is a space for respectful upbringing for young children.
Our house is 3 km from the train station, 20 minutes by car from the beach, Barcelona about 1 hour and Girona about half an hour.

We are surrounded by mountains and routes, very close to Montseny Natural Park and 20 minutes from the beach by train. At home we love sharing moments, sharing meals and celebrations with friends and family, where we always like to invite volunteers.

We look forward to welcoming you!!!


Activities & Shift

We are looking for people to help us with different house chores. We need help for 5 hours a day and 5 days a week. Besides that, we cook and clean the house together.

The tasks to do include gardening tasks, sometimes the house garden, maintenance and cleaning of the house, sharing as much time as we can.
We cultivate two hectares of organic garden and four more hectares of cultivation on the property, but the main task is in the two hectares of the garden, where two people are working.

Our experience with previous volunteers has been the construction of a chicken coop with bioconstruction, building fences for the animals, painting, different tasks in the garden, electrical installations, animal care, rehabilitation of spaces in the house, clearing the land, preserves, gardening.

We like to get up early, have breakfast and start working. Then we take a break to eat something and we continue!

In the afternoon, if we have worked in the morning, we rest!
