Beschreibung
For Autumn/Winter 2023:-
- Improve the chicken field which really means make it safer. We have lost quite a few chickens and ducks this year and , although we share this land with all beings, we need to give the poultry some safety. As part of that we will also put some of the small pigs in this field to help with security as well as ploughing up the land for the chickens. There will need to be improved fencing and some clearance of bushes so that predators cannot conceal themselves.
- We keep free ranging turkeys who choose where they roost at night. we would like to encourage them to roost in the chicken field so we need to construct some 'parallel bars LOL' for them.
- We will also begin a small project to breed quail, for their eggs and meat, this will need a simple housing system.
- Most importantly we would finally like to build a smokehouse using natural materials.
- we will be expanding the worm farm this year so a few more boxes will be needed and then the worms will need a minimal management.
- would like to finish the outside area of my cobhouse by maybe doing some mosaic and plastering.
At the same time we have the animals to take care of, the donkeys, horses, pigs and poultry.
.
One cob house is finished, and i live in it. The next natural building project will be using light clay and pallets for the smokehouse.
There are many farm jobs to do like making gates, fixing fences, putting poles in etc are always there and will be a part of your day as well. Plus sharing in the care of the animals -- horses, donkeys, dogs, cats ,pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. We are part of the Local Food Initiative where we exchange our duck and hen eggs for other produce.
We are a chilled out, quiet place where you can live independently and enjoy your own space.
We have two person caravan with its own outside kitchen/veranda it is comfortable and dry. we welcome people with their own van.
~~~~~~
We moved to the Alentejo in 2004 and we lived in the caravan for two years until we moved into the small mud/straw/clay eco house.
It is essential that you like animals and i am happy to share knowledge about the horses if you are interested. I encourage contact time with the horses.
We offer accommodation and food which you can prepare in your own outside kitchen. we are 2 hours from Faro about 40 minutes car ride from the beaches at Vila Nova do Milfontes. we are very rural so if you have transport that would be good for you but this place is ideal for people who like the quiet life and happy with their own company. Our village is only 15 minutes walk and it has a bar, shop and padaria.
We are off grid but we have wifi
NO DOGS because of the livestock.
We are about 30 minutes from the Atlantic coast with some of the most fabulous beaches you will ever see and we will make sure you get out and about.

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
this area is a traditional, rural Portuguese area largely farms and villages in the typical Alentejo style. the coast line is the magnificent Atlantic and there are a number of surfing areas that hire out boards. there is also the relatively new Costa Vincente walking path stretches the length of the coast from Sagres to Setubal the whole route is now sign posted.
Arbeit
Our farm is only 10 acres but there is always a lot to do and we could certainly do with a general helping hand.
Particularly practical things like repairing/making fences; making gates; putting in irrigation
Plus some building help like woodworking and building walls of cob (mud and straw).
