    Description

    A Permaculture Project on a beautiful Land in Alentejo, surrounded by a lovely growing Neighborhood as Friends and Families.
    Planting of eatible forest garden and vegetable garden and building a wooden house.
    The current mission is to create a living space (at one point maybe more) and to plant for a more self-sustainable life in a paradies. As the land is 12,5ha full of trees and with a river, it’s amazing to be outside, taking walks and enjoy this beauty.
    The project is non profit and orienting on the well being of community and nature.

    Creativity in all its different aspects is an important topic here.
    we love next to this big land project also dancing, singing, music, handcrafts and art.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    In the area you can take nice walks, as we are located really in the campo, next towns are São Teotónio and Odemira, so also the coast is not too far from us.
    I guess it’s definitely a place for countryside lovers, which doesn’t mean we are not going out to markets or to dance.
