Hello traveler!
We are a young family of 4, looking for help turning 5420 square meters of abandoned land into a beautifull food forest. The land is located in Capelas, the north shore of the island, with an ocean bathing spot 10 minutes walking distance and 12 minutes away by car from the main city - Ponta Delgada.
Volunteers have their camping site with private toilet and cold shower and eventually we will create their shared kitchen as well. We provide all basic conditions for you to live well in our property.
There are 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 beehives and lots of landscaping to do.
We are looking for someone with positive attitude and eager to help.
Let us know if you are interested!
Take care,
João & Amandine

A good indicator of the impact any volunteer has in our project is how much our 2 year old Arthur talks about them after they leave. It's been a week since Iona left and still Arthur asks about her everyday. Iona spent 2 weeks with us and we were very glad to have met her. Iona worked in the garden, painted our outdoor toilet and cooked truly… read more

Alba was our final volunteer of the season 2022. We finished in beauty because she formed a great team with other two volunteers from Austria.
Alba was always very kind and dedicated, performing all the tasks that were required.
We are very happy to have met her and that a part of her work will forever be at our land.
Wish you all the best Alba!

We received Noa and Anna, two Austrian sisters, for 10 days. They form a great team!

I definitely recommend both to any host looking for help.
