    Hi,I´m Annette, living on a huge, biodivers farm surrounded by native forest, fields, running water all year.
    River-beach on the bottom of the farm, some animal and garden
    I started the farm 88 . Make a abandoned farm liveable keeps in process.
    A vegetable garden, around 100 fruit- olive and nut trees surrounding the base. The outer circle is represented by forest of native varieties of trees. I´m passionate about nature, in care about and enjoying it.
    Do you like to help me in the garden and forest, with rural maintain. and learn about different wood,
    traditional use of plants?

    A blessed place in nature with forest, self-sufficient garden and fields. Donkey, dogs, cats, geese and chicken. Self supporting energy (photovoltaic + hydro power) waterfall and source, river , cold basins and a beach by the lake to enjoy.
    My adult autism son lives with me.due to personal health I reduced the agriculture to self-serve-size.
    A fun & relax SUMMERTURISM by the dam / lake "barragem de Fagilde" as possibility to Camp for friends in summer.

    Nice spots free for nice ideas for independent living units,
    a long term goal is living with divers various residential units and independent spaces,
    united by the principles of biodiversity and solidarity united on the land as a open community

    you may accompany me to town, markets or supermarket

    Basic rule for your stay is keep the room and ambient tidy.
    There are various ways you can stay
    as >>> 1-2 h by day for free camping >>>
    or
    4-5 hours per day for board and lodging + help with dishes / 1 volunteer *
    or
    * 2 - 4 volunteers can get board and lodging for 5-6 days between February and May and while the olive-harvest
    or
    if you prefer just 3 hours, we can have meals together if you help with the food budget OR prepare your own board
    ! - ! - !
    there is a little house on the land in its own space, garden, trees, water
    100 m from my house and 100 m from the lake,
    for one or two LONG TERM HELP in exchange of ~10 weekly hours
    must be "handy(wo)men"

    You can swim in the lake, climb or walk in direct surroundings make trips in the neighbourhood and cooperative projects.
    there are games and cards for rainy days. I like to share my experience as a self-supporter, and love to pass on my practical experience like about different tree species.

    3 km to the bus stop , 4 km to supermarket. 6 km Mangualde Center where I can pick you up if supported
    or come with your own car. Visit markets, the "Serra Estrela" Star mountains and highest spot in Portugal
