Program Details

Volunteers with knowledge and skills are sought to carry out the tasks of this position, and if they also have skills with horses or other typical farm tasks, that would be great.

We can talk about anything and it can be taught. It is also important to know that the hosts cannot be present at all times for tasks, since this is a project parallel to work. But we are always available for what is needed and we discuss it.


Activities & Shift

Volunteering for this position in the summer is recommended to start each day no later than 7 a.m. until noon; it is the best way to avoid the heat. Although we can also discuss it and be flexible. We like to adapt to the volunteer's needs whenever possible.

Also, another task on the farm can be assigned, for example if a construction project is already finished and we have time available without using it.

There are no predefined days off; we can discuss them according to each volunteer's preference. It is also important that not everyone takes the same day off, preferably. We can organize this in advance without a problem. It is important for all of us to stay organized since there are animals and their safety is important.


Rules

€20 must be paid on arrival to help improve and maintain the space.

It is recommended to bring bedding and towels. If you don't bring them, we can provide them. The volunteer must hand them in clean before departure and the amount will be refunded. (10€)

The volunteer is responsible for keeping the place of stay clean as well as the utensils and materials.

Loud music is prohibited; taking the furniture from the huts outside the designated space is not allowed unless previously consulted. Any need for change can be consulted and we will assess.

When the stay ends, the hut must be delivered clean, tidy, and with all utensils in optimal condition.

If something breaks or gets damaged, it must be reported immediately to resolve it properly.

At the moment we do not ask for a deposit; we trust that volunteers will care for and use the facilities and materials well. If at any time this does not work, we will ask for a deposit on arrival of the volunteers. So far it has not been necessary.

Any questions or disagreements we prefer to discuss at the moment to avoid misunderstandings that may arise from language, customs, or cultures. Always willing to clarify things.
