Keeping Animals in Spain: Getting Started

by | Off-Grid Spain, Raising Animals

If you’re thinking of keeping animals in Spain, there are a lot of things to consider and it is easy to get overloaded with information. That’s the case whether you just want a couple of animals to be more self-sufficient – or maybe you want to start a fully functioning and profitable farm.

In the video below, I cover a couple of basic questions, like

  • What licenses and permits do you need to keep animals in Spain?
  • What are the implications of starting a farm as a business in Spain?
  • If you’re seeing it big – how hard would it be to find good people to work on your Spanish farm?
  • What type of property should you consider to buy and start a farm?
  • Are there any forms of support, grants or other opportunities for starting a farm in Spain?

I’ll give you a couple of tips and ideas you can use to take the first steps – and decide what the next step is towards your dream farm in Spain!

    Hi, firstly thank you for your video! My partner and I are looking at moving to mainland Spain from Ibiza to start a new lifestyle. Ideally would like something that is profitable enough to live very simply possibly olive farming etc. Could you suggest a good area, we have been looking around Seron. Also are there any subsidiaries as in Italy where the local government give small grants annually to support maintaining an Olive Grove. Any and all advice would be great.

Hi, I'm Sandrine!

I live off-grid on an olive and almond farm in Spain, with alpacas and chickens and dogs and all the things. We've got solar panels and water from a borehole, we aim to grow our own food and be more self-sufficient, and we also try to make more time for what's really important in life...
