  Beschreibung

  We have some interesting projects lined up for 2025, We will be hosting our first wedding at the end of August 2025.
  
  We are welcoming volunteers this Summer.
  
  We are an English couple who decided to live closer to nature and create community. We care for a farmhouse and some land in Portugal which the owners (who are currently living in London) bought back in October 2021. We moved here in February 2025 and we are on a journey to make this a place abundant with nature, creativity and community at it’s heart! Come and join us to help make that a reality!
  
  It is the perfect place for those who wish to reconnect with nature and with themselves. We are still new to this ourselves, so we can learn together about growing and permaculture principles, strategies and techniques. Everything is still in the start-up phase and that makes this place a total playground to add your personal touch to - you can contribute your ideas and energy into how to develop the land and the facilities. We are also a 15 min walk/5 min drive from a stunning river beach!
  
  Our focus areas are:
  Maintaining and developing 5 ha of land - including developing the existing gardens and orchards. Beginning a reforestation project.
  Developing and extending the infrastructure on site, barn, workshop, outdoor kitchen etc.
  
  
  Looking forward to hearing from you!

  The type of help needed is seasonal and also on your personal skills and preferences, but it could be any of the following:
  
  
  GARDENING (weeding, planting, mulching, harvesting, watering)
  PLANTS PROPAGATION (sowing the seeds, repotting plants)
  COMPOSTING (collecting material for the compost, turning compost, applying on the garden beds)
  FRUIT PICKING (we have a number of fruit and olives trees!)
  LAND CLEARING (removing weed and undesirable plants - taking out bramble, mimosa!)
  FOREST (we will not ask you to use heavy machines unless you have experience with them and you feel comfortable with that, but you might help with moving logs and collecting wood around the property, pruning the trees etc.)
  HELP WITH MAKING FIREWOOD FOR THE WINTER (assisting us while we are cutting the wood, storing it, bringing to the kitchen)
  HELPING WITH SMALL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS (E.g. we might build a new compost loo this year)

  We provide accommodation and food in exchange for about 4 hours a day for 5 days a week through the days of your stay. Typically, you prepare your own meals but we are happy to purchase shopping from the local town for you!
  For our guests and helpers we have several bell tents. These are surrounded by trees and all have a lovely view of the land. Each tent has a double bed and mattress, plus storage for clothes, belongings and power to charge a phone etc.. Also there is a lot of space to park a campervan, pitch your own tent or set up a hammock.

  Was noch ...

  We will be a good match if you:
  Have a passion for working outdoors and nature
  Enjoy physical work
  Have a community mindset
  Like to work in a group and be social, but can also be independent.
  Are tidy and responsible person, that cares for the facilities and tools as if they were yours.
  
  We might not be such a good match if:
  
  If you are a strict vegan. We are not, so dairy products and meat are kept in the refrigerator and used in cooking etc.
  If you are looking to chill all day and party every night, our place is maybe not the best choice for you.
  If you don't like to be alone and need to have company all the time. We are busy in the day and we like to have the option for privacy in the evening. So we won’t be able to hang out 24/7.
  
  There are loads of great outdoorsy activities in the area, hiking, swimming, cycling etc. We are happy to share our knowledge of the best spots in the local area! We are also super close to a stunning river beach, check the photos!
