Description
*****
At the moment we are looking for sociopaths dreamers :) that might want to LIVE here or stay for longer periods, that likes to be on his own, self-reliant, and also able to work with more people when needed(because maybe I'm here maybe im not, maybe i need a hand maybe not), has interest in gardening and farm life with the biggest respect for all living things.
Handyman/woman somewhat experienced in carpentry and so on (extra point for natural construction skills :) ) and/or that can help us around doing GARDENING, the camping and farm routines.
Someone that maybe wants to move to Portugal, move here, or use it has a gateway or develop its own project while helping here. There's 2 trailers available.
Or SHORTER stays with kind of the same concept, 2 weeks minimum and eager to learn

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can feel yourself free and chill in our place, all nationalities, genders and brains are welcome. We are vegetarian, so we cook a lot of vegetable dishes basing on the Portuguese tradicional cousine, we would love to share veggie recipes and have a picnic together with volunteers. We respect any life style, but kindly asking not to cook meat in the house.
The most lovely thing you can get here is connecting with Nature, teaching how to take care of animals, learn about local plants and gardening, and of course try fresh bio fruits and vegetables from our garden.
Sometimes we have events and parties at our land, for volunteers the entrance is free.
As a local we know a lot of trails and secret spots at Arrabida parque, so be free to ask how to get there )
We speak Portugues-English-Spanish fluent, and will be happy to help you with your language practice.
Help
we have a lot of dogs, goats, chicken, ducks, porquinhas da India, none of them to eat. We are mostly vegetarian.
We have fruit trees, small vegetable garden and a lot of free space where would be nice to start permacultura or forest garden project. So if you are experienced in this area, warmly welcome )
At the moment we are creating a small camping spot at our olive tree garden, so we need help with carpentry constructions, painting and gardening at the farm
Also there are a lot of general farm tasks and maintenances as feeding animals, cleaning the space, watering, painting, gardening etc.
We ask for help around 5h/5 days per week, but you are free to change you schedule if you need. The rest of the day you are free to do what you want, we can advise you the best places to explore nearby, Arrábida Natural Park is ideal for outdoors as climbing, diving, surf, hiking, cycling, or just chilling at the beach.
