    Description

    Hey! I'm a musician and teacher, I've had the inmese luck of traveling the world, playing in Japan, EEUU, Southeast Asia, Mexico, Colombia, Europe... Right now, I work as a teacher in music schools around, but i'm also so interested in off grid organic living and permaculture. I buyed a little piece of land in the valencian forest. The house has two parts, one for me and other I rent it so we are usually two or three residents in the place. This is a mediterranean landscape, we live near Sagunto, in the "Sierra Calderona" Natural Park, we are so happy here because we are living in the park but we are 15 minutes away from the most beautiful beaches of valencia. The land, right now, is a big pine forest and we are starting to develop a food forest based on native plant varieties. We have some farm animals. We apply permaculture principles in everything we do: organic garden, compost, natural construction, food chain... We will be happy to host you in the project!


    Note: this is not a bussiness, its a non-profit project. It is just a place to live and share with other conscious humans. Enjoy it :)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    First of all, welcome to sunny side of Spain, we have a nice weather all year round, here you can learn everything about the mediterranean way of life, food its fantastic, we try to make some parties and suppers with friends to facilitate cultural exchange, but the most important you'll probably learn here its how to live with a permacultural approach and away from any noises and disturbance.

  • Help

    Help

    Okay. We need help for:

    1. Garden: We plant some vegetables and fruit trees, there are different garden areas in the project. Everything we do is organic way (Biofertilisers, bokashi, compost, no dig, native micro-organisms reproduction) work in this way is about to plant trees, get gardens ready for planting, getting the fruits and handleling, prune trees, clean weed areas…

    2. Animals: We have some chickens, chicken tractor needs to move around the place everyday.

    3. Natural construction: We make some constructions. We usually do wood, cob and straw construction, clay construction, clay coating, lime coatings... we are finishing up the goats stable and the greenhouse/workshop, it needs to be painted and we need to make gurniture for it. Also we host permaculture courses where we usually build biofilters and more stuff. Also we are planing to construct a yoga temple with a reciprocal structure, an outdoor kitchen, a dry toilet....

    4. Land transform: in order to create more production areas, we need to transform the land, we apply dry stone wall techniques, we need to build a rainwater tank and lots of more things…
