    ***UPDATE: At the moment, we have no livestock- our animals consist of a dog and cat. We still need to do some decorating of the van, and some projects to get ready for winter. We are looking for two or three people who would like to help with organizing and painting, and other light jobs. We can still offer a nice shared room and some good company :)***



    We live on a small farm outside Odiaxere, in the west Algarve. Over the years, we have enjoyed an ever-changing and growing volunteer family.
    We've hosted volunteers from around the world, and enjoy receiving ongoing emails from our workaway friends, many of whom have returned more than once.
    Initially, we worked with rescue horses, but now we only have one dog and one cat. All the horses have been re-homed, and our focus is on making the farm self-sustaining, and getting it ready for more rescue animals, such as chickens, pigs, and horses!

    In the past, we also had workshops in painting, qigong, singing, belly-dancing, and more, and it is our goal to start doing workshops again, and making them affordable and available to everyone.
    To do that, we need to make the farm self-sustaining- we need a good, productive garden, a chicken coop and run, and comfortable places for people to sleep and cook.

    We think this goal is attainable with your help, and we look forward to welcoming you into our volunteer family. Come and bring your ideas and your enthusiasm, and let's make it happen together!

    We are not Portuguese, and are only beginners at the language; but we are always interested in learning more about Portugal, its language and its culture, and exploring Portugal with you.
    If you have somewhere you would like to visit, we are open to day trips.

    ARTISTIC TASKS:

    The nearest villages are Odiaxere and Mexilhoeira Grande. Both are about a 20 to 30 minute walk from the farm. There are a few little shops and cafes in both towns, and an Italian pizza place in Odiaxere, which does take-away.

    We are about 11 km. from Portimao, and 8 km. from Lagos.

    The local bus stop is about a 10 minute walk, and buses to Odiaxere, Lagos, and Portimao are frequent. The train station in Mexilhoeira Grande is 2.8km. away. There are trains and buses that go all along the Algarve to Spain.
    We have bicycles for your use.

    We also offer occasional full-day outings to points of interest. Tell us where you would like to go, and we can arrange some day trips!

    We are 50 minutes from Faro airport, and 3.5 hours by bus from Lisbon.
