The Experience
If you are looking for an opportunity to learn how the almonds, olives, carob and grapes are grown, we have the place for you. You also have the opportunity to learn/teach how to grow vegetables, make irrigation systems and all the other things that go into running a small farm. Would be great if you have some of the skills that are necessary for making this land a better place to live!

I returned to this project as I had such a great time the first time! The family were so lovely and I have made some lifelong friends. In my time I practiced Spanish, picked olives, carob and almonds, I also learnt about watering systems and planted a vegetable garden. I had a nice room and bathroom to myself. In my time off I went to Barcelona, Tarragona, Reus and explored the local area of Valls. The family also took me on a day around the area to some Monasteries and towns which was a lovely day out!

Mónica, Valdimar and Móa made me feel very welcome and at home. I liked it so much that I will return for another two weeks! I could practise my Spanish daily and they taught me a lot about the language, Spanish culture and the other places they've lived. They were flexible with work times as long as I did my 25 hours for the week so I could see the surrounding areas of Barcelona and Tarragona. This was also helpful to avoid the heat in the middle of the day on hot days. I look forward to returning to more delicious meals, exploring and learning more about sustainable farming and Spanish.

The family was really nice and welcoming!! I love the nature and the tasks where explained carefully and fun to do but also a bit exhausting. It is easy to get to valls and I was able to explore Barcelona on my days off.

I really enjoyed my time at La Casa de the farm, learning about the operation and management of olive trees, almond trees, and vineyards. My daily tasks included pruning branches to fit into the grinding machine, grass cutting, and applying sulphur to the vineyards. Thanks to Monica, Valdimar, and their lovely daughters for sharing their stories and experiences, cultural exchange, and for motivating me to improve my Spanish. Cheers, Yuen

I really enjoyed my stay at the farm! Mónica and Valdimar were really nice hosts and made me feel welcomed. Their kids were very nice as well and showed me around town. I always worked in the mornings so I had some free time in the afternoons to explore the surrounding area, which is really beautiful. They told me a lot about the culture in Spain and especially Catalunya as well as about their original cultures which was really interesting and I got to practice my Spanish 😊. Would definitely recommend this experience!
