The Experience

We are a self-managed project focused on permaculture. We have a large edible forest with all kinds of fruit trees. We harvest cherries, olives, blueberries, raspberries... We run gardening and bioconstruction activities. We are in Barrado, in the heart of the Jerte Valley, less than two hours from Salamanca or Cáceres, and on the route to Portugal or southern Spain.

Our experience was absolutely amazing! The work was fun and we were able to learn a lot about off grid living. Jonas and Maria were really welcoming, easy to talk to, and patient with us practicing our spanish. We could not recommend this place more if you enjoy the outdoors, sustainable living, and getting a local experience!

I miss Jonas, María and Ayla, who became my new family in Spain. I will definitely see them again and I recommend them to everyone. I stayed there for a month, but I would have stayed much longer. From the beginning they were very welcoming. When I was sick, they took care of me, took me to the hospital and did everything to help me. The work was very beautiful and rewarding, and it was an honor to help them build their new house. I learned a lot about construction and wood, and we also picked fruit from their forest. I am very grateful for everything. We laughed a lot and we really connected. ❤️❤️❤️

Jonas and Maria are incredible hosts. Fun, open, friendly and above all, attentive.
Helping them with their holistic agriculture project has been an enriching experience. With Maria and Jonas you not only learn about agriculture, but about general culture, social debates among other things.

I've had a great time and I recommend it. Without a doubt you will have fun and learn.

The tasks and the schedules are very clear. You will have space to have fun, go to the village pool among other activities. The accommodation is very cozy and the food is delicious.

Thank you very much for having us!
