Beschreibung
We are Emily (34), James (37), our daughter Delma (6) and our son Reuben (3 months)
We live in a peaceful valley 20 minutes from Monchique, completely surrounded by nature with our dog & 2 cats on a 1.8 hectare plot of mountain land.
Ideally we are looking for a couple or family to come and help us from May until July. James goes away to work from mid June until the end of July so we are looking for people who can be supportive while he is away. The help will be relaxed during this time... looking after our veggie garden, some land clearing (we always need to be on top of keeping the land clear in case of fires!) + any other little jobs that pop up and maybe some house work.
For the right match we'd be open to longer stays.
From July onwards Delma will be on summer holidays and it would be lovely if she had some friends to play with and enjoy the summer days together on our land.
We have a private tiny (stone & cob) home for volunteers with it's own bathroom and kitchen. We lived there as a family of 3 for many years. It's small but comfortable.
We enjoy sharing meals together, but we also appreciate our private time and respect it in volunteers also.
We're open to different work time agreements. If you'd like to volunteer less and provide your own food that's fine. Equally we can provide the food if you'd like to do the full 4/5 hours a day.
We are in a high fire risk area and we already devastatingly lost our home in the fire once. So it's important for us to have responsible volunteers who feel capable living in nature far from the local town.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
You will experience what it's like to live semi self-sufficiently in nature. We can share our experience of living here for the past 9 years ~ the challenges and the joys.
And you may experience being part of a small mountain town community.
We've had a long period of more intense activity... building our homes and cultivating the land. We are currently in a more gentle phase after finishing our family home, wanting to turn our energy back to the land, the vegetable garden and quality family time.

As well as various other weekly/monthly jobs like; creating a fence around the veggie garden, chopping+storing firewood and kindling, strimming, planting trees and flowers, growing and harvesting vegetables and seeds. Clearing for the fire season.
Help with cooking shared meals would be great. We will probably eat once a day together, either lunch or dinner.
