Permaculture & land care

Growing food, caring for the forest, managing water and waste — the everyday work of an eco-village.

Our main goal is to develop our permaculture garden and our natural buildings, and to shape the land into a self-sufficient eco-village. This work is shared by everyone who lives here.

Areas of work

  • Organic gardening following permaculture principles: soil care, composting, seasonal planting
  • Forestry and agroforestry: caring for the acacia forest, pruning, clearing and planting
  • Fire protection: reducing wildfire risk through forest management — a vital skill in the Mediterranean
  • Water management: collecting, saving and reusing water
  • Waste management: zero-waste habits, composting and repair

These skills are at the heart of our ESC volunteering projects, and anyone staying with us can join in.

Small daily joys

Our hens give us small but very fresh eggs from spring onwards, the wild herbs of Kallidromo become teas and natural soaps, and every early summer we plant the vegetables of the season together.
