  Beschreibung

  At the moment we’re looking for people who enjoy different kinds of volunteering.
  
  We’re looking for people who enjoy practical outdoor tasks. Gardening, mowing, moving materials, wood management, helping with DIY projects and tackling all sorts of projects around the farm. Some tasks are done together, others you’ll take on independently, so it’s helpful if you’re curious, proactive and able to use initiative.
  
  We also love to have people join us who like looking after the Quinta and supporting family life. If you would like to learn about preserving seasonal food, harvesting herbs and vegetables whilst taking a lead role in cooking, baking, keeping shared spaces tidy and simply helping the day flow smoothly, we'd love to hear from you!
  
  Couples and groups of friends or family are very welcome. You’ll stay in a private cabin and become part of everyday life here – an off-grid family farm project surrounded by forest, where no two days are quite the same. We look forward to hearing from you!

  Was noch ...

  Meals can be prepared anytime in our community kitchen.
  
  The kitchen and garden give a good base for daily food.
  We always keep it stocked with staples for everyday cooking and breakfast, and we have fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables/ fruits from our garden.
  
  On work days, meals are often shared and we come together to cook and eat.
  
  At the weekend there are no fixed shared meals, so everyone is free to cook for themselves, relax, or go out and explore the region.

  The last 2 km to the Quinta are a dirt road.
  
  The closest bus stop and mini market are about a 25-minute walk away. There is affordable public transport, electric bicycles and we give daily lifts to the nearest village, so it’s easy to get around without a car.

  Camper welcome! You can park your van on a private terrace right next to the river. It’s a perfect spot for vanlife and camping, away from the main living area, so you have your own quiet space while still being part of the place. There are the old camping facilities nearby you can use. Discover central portugal on the weekends-off!
