Description
YOU CAN MESSAGE US IN ENGLISH, DEUTSCH, PORTUGUES OR SUOMEKSI (-;
We are happy to share with you our home located in midst of the stunning hills of naturepark São Mamede, where we have nearly 60 ha land around our house.
We moved to here two years ago from Germany, where we also had a farmproject.
We, Anne 44 (finnish) and Moriz (german) 49, work in invidual pedagogik with youngsters who are difficult to reach.
Our children Laura, Anton and Valentin 16 and 20 and 22 years old live also here with us.
On our farm we have 5 horses, a dog and a cat. For those who like to ride: our ridable horses are young and are only ridden with natural horsemanship methods, without a bit, with ropehalter. If you have some experience and are familiar with this technics, you are free to ride in your time off.
The tasks are depending of person who is coming and what is currently going on here.
At the moment we mainly need help with our tinyhouse building-project. We are thrilled to share with you our experience to in creating our own type of tinyhouses, wich may be very usufull for your own later projects. We believe that independent, cuided, work ethics can create huge impact on our lives. That's why we invite everyone to try out also advanced craft technics, like welding or driving excavator and already had some girls here, who afterwards loved to do this things (-: But no worries, we are there to explain and guide you in the beginning. All we need is your motivation and hunger for experiences.
We prefer short-term requests, so please ask just if you are planning to come in next 4 weeks. Very short term, like 1-2 days before is usually also no problem(-:
Meals are served vegan/vegetarian.
For meat eaters we always have some saugage available, or of course you can cook your own meal, if you need cooked meat.
Because we are private family, we cannot pay for work. We cannot write invitation letters for visa, because this has too many risks for us.
