Descripción
Live in vehicles always welcome.
We´re looking for help with a 20 ha permaculture project born in 2008. The land comprises agricultural and forestry land, all of which we intend to make productive over the coming months and years.
We keep pigs and poultry, and have cats and dogs as domestic pets, all of whom need lots of attention.
We´re located in a beautiful peaceful location, but are within walking distance of the village. We're lucky to have a good range of local facilities close by, including wi-fi internet, and are easy to reach via public transport.
Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

Objetivos de sostenibilidad de las NU que intenta conseguir este anfitrión
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
Your hosts live and teach permaculture, hosting PDCs and other courses on site. Here you'll have an opportunity to experience practical application and be part of maintaining and developing an emergent project.
We attract visitors from around the world so you can socialise on site or walk to our local bar in the next village.
Ayuda
Current projects include renovating the house, installing irrigation systems including RAM pumps, expanding and maintaining our vegetable gardens, planting native trees, building animal shelters, clearing forest, soil improvement and, well, just about everything else!! There's no shortage of different things to do, and lots of variety. Both skilled and unskilled help welcomed, experience isn´t required. We ask that guests stay for a minimum of two weeks, and preference will be given to those who can stay for longer.
Idiomas hablados
Alemán: Fluido
Inglés: Fluido
Holandés: Fluido
Portugués: Fluido
Alojamiento
We have camping space and basic caravan / truck accommodation. Live in vehicles very welcome. It's important to realise that our facilities are basic and this is not the place to visit if you're looking for luxury.
We´re happy to accommodate children with prior discussion, and we´re pleased to work with larger groups (eg Scouts, youth groups).
Algo más...
We usually host a number of volunteers at any one time, and run permaculture and related courses in the summer months, so this can be a great place to socialise as well as chill out. We speak English at home, but there´s plenty of opportunity to practice your Portuguese if you would like.
Wifi internet available in local village.

Dejado por el anfitrión para el workawayer (PeppiM)
Peppi worked with us with a friend for a period of the summer 2011. A wonderful workawayer, we'd always welcome her back. She's self reliant and able to use her initiative, she works hard and she's an easy, cheerful person to have about the farm.

Holly and Nei stayed with us for just under a fortnight, and we can't recommend them to other workaway hosts highly enough. They worked really hard at all sort of different tasks whilst they were with us, but more importantly, were excellent guests. We knew that if we gave them a task they could be trusted to see it through, and on a day to day… read more

Andrea and Jeroen are two lovely hospitible hosts. They own a most idyllic plot in beautiful Portugal, if you like rural, and small villiages then stop here. The farm has a small homely feel, good food, lush walks and a relaxed atmosphere.

Felix is a personable and enthusiastic guy who deserves much credit for making it all the way here by bike, battling appalling weather and Portuguese mountains on the way. Sadly he's not been able to stay with us for very long, but it's been long enough for us to say we'd be very happy to welcome him back in the future. He's worked hard, played… read more

Keith and Jodie were a lovely couple who really got into whatever they were doing. It was fabulous to have people here who were really putting their all into every moment and wanting to learn something to take away. They were good company and fun to have about, and we wish them every success with their plans once they reach home.

Andrea and Jeroen were great people to work with. They always took the time to answer any questions we had and always explained the reasons for the jobs we were doing which gave purpose and meaning to the work. They manege large groups of people with great patience and organisation. There was always something fun to do and we were never bored! We… read more

Jennifer and Brandon have been with us here for about 2.5 months now, and we're just sad that their schedule doesn't allow them to stay longer. They've been here through the worst of our winter weather, getting involved in a whole range of different activities, all with a smile.

Amanda came to as a last minute Workawayer. She was a real hard worker who was happy to have a go at everything, even tackling cleaning the goat shed :) She helped with the animals (tried her hand at milking and cheesemaking) and got stuck into all sorts of gardening work. Amanda was also great to have about and easy to please. She was good… read more
