WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR HOUSESITTERS for the dates of August 18 to Sept 14. We are not accepting other workaways at this time. The housesitters would need to care for our extensive garden, natural pool 12 chickens and parakeet. The garden will be in full production mode so we are looking for people who have some experience with food preservation (drying, canning, fermenting). I am scheduling this house sit so that we will overlap for 3 or 4 days so I can take you through the garden tasks, as well as show you how to do basic canning, freezing and fermenting. This housesit is NOT appropriate for families with young children as we have an unsecured pool.
We are a a family of 4 living 25 minutes outside of Barcelona, Spain. We have a permaculture project where we are creating sustainable/regenerative suburban homestead and we are looking for like-minded people to help us build our dream!
Our girls are 10 and 9 and we speak mainly English and Catalan in our home. We are Unschoolers and educate our daughters at home (homeschooling). Our house is always filled with ongoing art projects, on-line gaming conversations with friends in South Africa, the UK …

Our girls are 10 and 9 and we speak mainly English and Catalan in our home. We are Unschoolers and educate our daughters at home (homeschooling). Our house is always filled with ongoing art projects, on-line gaming conversations with friends in South Africa, the UK and the US and lots of plants. Francesc and I both work from home as well, so we are always puttering around doing something with the girls.
We live in a house with all of the modern conveniences, while still working to decrease our footprint. We have solar panels, grey water recycling, rain water capture and are starting to produce more of our own food. We try and be as zero waste as possible and process most of our foods (nut milks, breads, seitan, tempeh, ferments, jams etc) cleaning products and beauty products, shop at bulk stores and buy second hand when buying something is necessary.
Our home is located in beautiful Ametlla del Valles with expansive views of fields and mountains. We have a natural pool which is wonderful in the summer, and an in-ground trampoline which is fun for kids of all ages to bounce around on! Our property has over 60 fruit bearing trees and bushes (oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, mandarines, loquats, pears, apples, peaches, plums, kumquats, persimmons, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, kiwis, pawpaws, gojis, jujubes, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cherries, mulberries, quince, olives) as well as 6 chickens which have become family pets as well as producing delicious eggs for us every day! We are 10 minutes from La Garriga (a town with hot springs and cute cafes) and 15 minutes away from Granollers (a larger city with a train into Barcelona and other parts of Spain).
