Whether you have experience or a strong willingness to learn, your contributions will be invaluable here.

The farm is part of a small traditional Portuguese village with a few older people still living the old way& another expat family we collaborate with who are also building up their project nextdoor.

Main focus this year (2025) is renovating the old stone house to be more ecological. Me and my partner Suzie do most of the work around the farm ourselves. I also work with local tradesmen for the more technical jobs like plumbing, electricity, etc.
If you are skilled and want to work additional hours, compensation can be provided.
Tasks are always varied and fair.
