  Description

  We are a German/Israeli couple and we live since 10 years with our two Children Liam (10) and Alma ( 7) on our beautiful land in South Alentejo. Since 3 years my parents from Germany joined us on the farm and they live on the hill next to us in a beautiful place.
  Our family is living since one year in the Clay (Taipa) House, which took us 2 years to build. Before we where living in a Geodesic Dome which we made as well.
  
  Our mission is to plant trees and to reforest our land with Permaculture principles. Because we where very busy with building our own house in the last years, we had to neglect our veggie garden a little bit....
  But now we are back with fresh energy and we would love to create an even better garden for the future.

  Help

  Right now we want to focus on hosting Workawayers on our land, because we wish for support in preparing Raised Beds for the summer gardens. Me and my mom are very passionate about plants and we would love to have again a big veggie garden in order to be more self sufficient.
  
  Therefor we are looking for open minded people who like to be involved in getting their hands dirty. We are very happy if you have already experience in gardening and we would appreciate new ideas, but its not neccessary.
