Ecological finca with veggies and fruit garden, animals, events, retreats and visits
Las Palmas
Welcome to our eco-farm!
Our farm located on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria in the province of Las Palmas. We cultivate vegetables and fruits, organically grown and free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and GMOs. We deeply believe in the idea that we can protect the environment with the practice of organic and regenerative agriculture.
Values and aims: promote ecology, create connections between living beings, express creativity in harmony with nature, and build a self-sustainable community that spreads our values: our ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our next generation.
Our farm is a quiet place where enthusiasts of living together outside the network will find themselves perfectly. In addition to typical agricultural activities related to growing vegetables and fruits and cooking vegan food, we organize activities related to personal development, veganism, sustainability and eco-living. We offer day events and group few days long retreats and workshops on personal and spiritual development, contact with nature etc. We open vegan restaurant offer once per week and also rent out the part of our house on airbnb and booking for tourists interested in such a sustainable, ecological tourism.
We are looking for active, positive and world-curious people to work, who are not afraid of challenges and physical tasks. Working on a farm involves many demanding tasks, such as: preparing agricultural land for sowing, maintenance of the garden, harvesting crops, taking care of animals, helping with construction related tasks and house maintenance, including cleaning, as well as food preparation for the whole team and sometimes running some errands like shopping or organizing activities around the farm and events.
Please be aware that there always is a lot of work and we are only looking for people that can keep up with us and help us build an amazing space and experience for everyone ;)
Work lasts 5 hours a day. 5 days a week.
We have no psychoactive substances policy on site.
We accept volunteers for at least a month, with the possibility of extension if you wish to do so. In addition, we reserve the right to set up a trial week - to make sure that we are a well-coordinated team and good fit. ;)
