Description
We are a family living off-grid in Central Portugal and building up our permaculture project. We have 2 ha of land with cork forest, olive trees, grapes and fruit trees. Our goal is to live a lifestyle that is more in harmony with nature and nurishing for the soul. We want to grow our own organic food and medicine and take care of the land the best we can. We are very inspired by permaculture and try to apply it in our project as much as possible.
We are quite in the beginning of our project, so there is a lot to do and we can use a lot of help in many different areas like natural building projects, gardening, and land maintainence.
We will offer you fresh warm vegetarian meals for lunch and dinner and a hot shower. You can stay in a cozy tent under a cork tree or park your camper van in the shade of a tree.
We have good wifi around our main house, that you can use.
Pets are welcome if they get along or find their way to co exist with our playful puppy :)
If you are travelling with kids, our 10 years old son would be happy to meet similar aged children.
