    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Quiet area, half an hour from the beach in Porto Covo and Milfontes. If you like peace, nature and the sea, you will soon feel at home here. Our farm is about 7 minutes drive from Cercal do Alentejo. We hope to learn something from both sides. We want to teach them how to handle alpacas. We regard the workawayer as a member of our family.

    Rustig gebied, op een half uur van het strand in Porto Covo en Milfontes. Als u van rust, natuur en zee houdt dan zult u zich hier gauw thuis voelen. Onze boerderij is ongeveer 7 minuten rijden van Cercal do Alentejo. Wij hopen van beiden kanten iets te leren. Wij willen ze leren omgaan met alpaca's. De workawayer beschouwen we als lid van onze familie.

  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for Workawayers who can help us with the animals and maintenance of the land and general maintenance. We are looking for help with some maintenance and picking grapes for our vineyard. We are also looking for help with making wine. The wine is for private use and not for sale. We rent out holiday homes, but the workawayer will not have to help there. It is purely for the farm and vineyard.

    Wij zoeken Workawayers die ons kunnen helpen met de dieren en onderhoud van het land en algemeen onderhoud. Tevens zoeken wij hulp voor onderhoud en plukken van druiven voor onze wijngaard. Ook zoeken we hulp bij het maken van wijn. De wijn is voor prive gebruik en niet om te verkopen. Wij verhuren vakantiehuisjes, maar daar zult de workawayer niet hoeven te helpen. Het is puur voor de boerderij en wijngaard.
