    Description

    Hello and welcome 🥑
    Note we are raw vegan plant based only!🥑
    This means if you join us you understand that the food available to you as a volunteer is uncooked, no dairy , meat or fish 🚫
    Important to us is to build a home from home environment, build trust and relationships with people that stay at our home. Ideally longer term stays where you become part of the community

    Bring your ideas and vision of creating beautiful environments for future travellers to also experience! Leave your mark so to speak
    If you have the idea to build a tree house then we have the perfect tree!
    You always dreamed of designing a permaculture garden then let’s make it happen

    We are two people living in the mountains of central Portugal! We have a vision to create a productive permaculture garden with raised beds!

    We always need help around the home such as organising and some light painting!

    We have 3 cats and 5 hens to take care off
    Rob and I are raw vegans which means the food we offer Is super healthy, we are happy to teach you how to make raw vegan food if you’re interested
    Other skills I offer to share are rendering with lime and clay!
    Designing and creating wall mosaics

    And more..
