Descripción
Hello traveler!
We are a young family of four looking for help turning 5420 square meters of abandoned land into a beautiful food forest. The land is located in Capelas, the north shore of the island, with an ocean bathing spot 10 minutes walking distance and 12 minutes away by car from the main city, Ponta Delgada.
Volunteers have their camping site with a private toilet and cold shower, and eventually we will create their shared kitchen as well. We provide all the basic conditions for you to live well in our property.
There are 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 beehives, and lots of landscaping to do.
We are looking for someone with positive attitude and eager to help.
Let us know if you are interested!
Take care,
João & Amandine
