    We are a joyful family of artists with a 16-month baby with the project of creating a workshop for an artist residency and an agroforestry in our garden. We live in a lovely house with a garden full of fruit trees and flowers in the village of Barra Cheia between Lisbon (30 min by car) and the Serra d'Arrabida (15 min by car).

    You will live in a nice house in an oasis of biodiversity, 30 minutes away from Lisbon, 25 minutes away from the Ocean and 15 minutes away from the Serra da Arrábida national park. You will learn about how to grow a regenerative agroforest. If you like to speak French or if you want to learn, this is the opportunity because we are French! Of course, this is also perfect if you want to learn Portuguese. You will have your privacy with your own room, and lots of spare time because we are just asking for help 20h/week. Artists welcome!
