Description
We moved to Portugal over two years ago. Our plan was to retire However, we realised through social media groups here on the Algarve there were many animals in need of rescuing and subsequently adopting. Our change of direction and lifestyle is hard work and takes dedication. The rewards are plentiful. We have five dogs , three cats, six ducks, eight goats, one Donkey, 30 Hens and Five Cockerels.
We grown our own vegetables and we have a growing circle of friends that buy our free roaming hens eggs from us for a nominal price. This year we need to harvest the carobs, almonds, olives, fruit trees.
We also have many other ongoing projects such as building another house/ lean-to for the Donkey and fencing off areas too. We have all the materials for this. So now we are looking for enthusiastic people with skills to assist us to fulfill our mission.
