Permaculture on a family farm near Montserrat ⛰️
The experience
We are a family with a baby living in the countryside, in an off-grid house, and we are regenerating the land with regenerative agriculture and permaculture. We need help fixing the chicken coop, creating another wetland for greywater, building another dry toilet, a vegetable garden, and maintenance of the farm. We have a pool for summer, bicycles, and a peaceful setting with the magical Montserrat mountain nearby! You will sleep in a 7m caravan with a shower.
