Sleeping place in our caravan (only for individuals or
couples)

This is us:
Richy (53 years) and Titilayo (48 years) from Hamburg, Germany. We have been living in northern Portugal since January 2021 and fulfill our dream of a sustainable farm. We are both vegetarians, mostly vegans, but don't expect it from others. We both also live alcohol and drug free. Our family includes our dogs Caleb and Luna as well as our cats Mikosch and Lotti. They are the heart of our farm life and bring us a lot of joy. We still have a lot to do to build stables, build fences and make some preparations but that's what makes our project so special for us, it's a life project. We are looking forward to our guests and full of anticipation.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
When doing tasks together in the fields or building a terrace, we pass on our acquired knowledge to the helpers.
During joint hikes, we can impart interesting facts about the historical background of the region to the workaways.
When cooking and baking, we can learn each other's recipes and preparation methods.
Baking sourdough bread in our wood-fired oven could also be interesting for the Workaways.
we show our helpers fantastic and hardly frequented places in the Lafões region, whether for hiking or to relax at the waterfalls.
