1. Describe your project, your place, and its inhabitants (including animals): Mainly animal farm. A hundred cows, a dozen mules and 3 horses. The cattle is grazing freely in the mountains. Mules are kept in the farm but will move according to the seasons to greenhouses and neighbours land to clean it up. There are chickens on the farm as well as some vegetable plantation and olive trees. There are options to ride and take journeys in the mountains 2. List the activities that WWOOFers will participate in and what you want to teach them: Everything linked to rearing cattle and horses. General help around the farm: planting harvesting, maintenance and improvements of the built up areas. 3. How will you feed and house WWOOFers? Please describe your accommodations and plan for meals: There are five bedrooms on the farm. The kitchen is open to everyone, and all the amenities are available. Food is provided, cooked or to be cooked depending on the work to be carried out. 4. What could a WWOOFer's day look like at your site (time slot for participation in activities, expectations...)? Obviously being a farm tending to the animal is a priority and depends on how many are there at any time. Time is arranged between the owner and the volunteers, but obviously depends and the time of the year. 5. Play the guide! Talk about your own hobbies (music, cooking, etc.) and those possible around (hiking, swimming, etc.): There are a lot of walks possible, there is internet, and the village is not too far away. There are a lot of friends around that have their own interest that could be shared depending on everyone's interest. It is a bit secluded and wild, but very interesting, as this way of live is disappearing fast.
