Area: Alentejo

We are recently retired and now live on a 10ha organic farm in Alentejo, Portugal. We are in the early stages of setting up the farm and so have lots of jobs and long term projects that we would like to acheive. For this we have decided that we do need some help to develop. We have pigs, sheep, turkeys, hens, ducks, tortoises and dogs. We grow most of our own food. We are in a very beautiful and rural area and you can develop the Portugese language with help from the locals who do not speak English! We are an hours drive inland from the Algarve and just 30 MILES from the stunning west coast beaches. Our village has no shops but the next village which is 6 km away as a small supper market. We have two little bars in the village. The village is very very quiet with very little nightlife so please don`t come thinking you are coming to a tourist resort. This place is for people who like been in touch with nature, and enjoy been apart from big cities. The farm is a working farm and at times is dusty or muddy depending on the weather so working boots and working cloths are essential. Our working day is usually from 7.30 until 1830 yes long hours(often this is just feeding and cleaning the animals but we do have plenty of breaks). If you require to do just the 5 hour days as workaway says this is not a problem just speak up and we will set you 5 ish hours work then you can do what you want. We do go to local shows ,markets and events and you are always welcome to come with us. I am afraid that we are not the busy resort on the coast so please make sure you read and study our profile before contacting us. Our nearest big town is Ourique which is about 12 km away.

I am a divorced business owner that owns an incredible lakefront home in the Ocala National Forest. I also own my business property ( a photography studio) and a rental mobile home. It's a beautiful part of Florida close to many crystal clear rivers and springs. Only a little over an hour to the beach. I discovered Workaway about a year ago and have been dreaming of the day when I can be free of my responsibilities (mortgage payments) and travel the world helping others. I have 40 plus adventures I want to volunteer for in my host list. In order to do that, I need to fix up my properties and get them in shape to be sold. I'm looking for some help in doing this. I love to show the area and experience it through the eyes of those who are seeing it for the first time. Lots of canoeing, kayaking, swimming. I could take you somewhere one day per week - other than that you would need your own transportation or can hang out on the beautiful lake.

We have 2 young children (3 & 7 YO) and a teenager who visits on weekends so it is essential you like children and if you were able to help with stimulating activities for children, music dance games/gardening with them this would be a fantastic help. We are vegetarian and eat eggs, milk and cheese.
