**** We are currently looking for people who would like to stay a minimum 3 or 4 weeks ****
Welcome to the Algarve in Portugal!
Our focus, for the first few years on the farm, was caring for rescue horses, but now that all of them are re-homed, we are working on expanding our organic garden, planting trees, starting a greenhouse, and creating natural buildings.
Ours is an ever-changing and growing volunteer family.
The people who have most enjoyed their time here were self-motivated, and able to go with the flow. They enjoyed assigned tasks, but were self-directed.
We have maintained friendships with many of our previous volunteers, including repeat visits from them, and also visiting them when we are abroad.
We look forward to getting to know you, too!
PLEASE NOTE:
We try to work to a schedule, but sometimes life gets in the way!
If you prefer a strict schedule, and don't like interruptions or change, you might not enjoy staying here.
****For the comfort of everyone living or staying here, we NO CIGARETTE SMOKING. Thanks :)

We are not Portuguese, and are only beginners at the language; but we are always interested in learning more about Portugal, its language and its culture, and exploring Portugal with you.
If you have somewhere you would like to visit, we are open to day trips.
We are working on making the farm totally self-sustaining, planting trees for a food forest, and have plans for yurts and cob housing.
Our garden is a work in progress.
The vegetable garden, and the greenhouse need ongoing maintenance.
We started a pond at the end of last year, and are looking forward to finishing that project.
We hope to build a small straw bale house this year.
Every day, someone picks from the garden for the kitchen table (plenty of opportunity to learn about plants and cooking).
Currently we have many oranges and lemons, and are waiting for the winter garden to be ready to harvest.
The house requires daily upkeep.
If you can help with:
- Building projects
- Cooking and food preservation (e.g.: Pickles, Jams)
- House upkeep
- Planting, weeding and general garden care
- Picking fruit
- Light maintenance work
- Building wooden structures
- Brick and cement work
- Painting & decorating
.......we welcome you!
****No experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm!****

The nearest villages are Odiaxere and Mexilhoeira Grande. Both are about a 20 to 30 minute walk from the farm. There are a few little shops and cafes in both towns, and an Italian pizza place in Odiaxere, which does take-away.
We are about 11 km. from Portimao, and 8 km. from Lagos.
The local bus stop is less than10 minutes walk, and buses to Odiaxere, Lagos, and Portimao are frequent. The train station in Mexilhoeira Grande is 2.8km. away. There are trains and buses that go all along the Algarve to Spain.
We have bicycles for your use, and we go out regularly, so we can often drop you at the beach, or take you to Lagos or Portimao.
We also offer occasional full-day outings to points of interest. Tell us what where you would like to go, and we can arrange some day trips!
We are 75 km from the nearest airport, in Faro, and 3.5 hours by bus from Lisbon.
