Visit an organic allotment and learn through games about sustainable food, agroecology, seasonal crops, and Mediterranean plants. Your volunteering helps to maintain this allotment. You will cook an authentic Catalonian meal (called calçotada) or paella as part of a team.
Calçots are long, thin onions, and are a typical Catalan crop that is harvested between January and April. The calçots are placed on grills over a wood fire where they are cooked, eaten and then served with an almond-based sauce called romesco and accompanied with sausage and bread.

The activity deepens our knowledge of how we think about agroecology and responsible consumerism.
The farm is managed by a cooperative which works according to social and supportive economy criteria: it uses ethical banking and uses its resources efficiently. It has a participatory and transparent way of working, and it maintains a healthy work-life balance and employs immigrants in vulnerable situations.
The food products are, when possible, KM0 and ecologically friendly.
We use biodegradable or reusable tableware.
