  Description

  Hillside Fruit Farm, Centro Portugal.
  
  This is a small 'Quinta' with 1 acre surrounded by mountains and forests. it is a fruitarian paradise as we have many fruit trees producing fruit all year round. Kiwi, persimmon, quince, oranges and manderin season is here so feel free to enjoy these fruits.We use permaculture principles and we prefer to up cycle and use what nature has provided for our building projects. We welcome short-term volunteers in November for general maintenance and volunteers who like carpentry and plumbing. You can get a chance to work on projects like these :
  
  current projects :
  irrigation and well maintenance
  fence building and repair
  household chores / optimizing storage
  finish outdoor kitchen
  fruit harvesting
  
  The farm is currently in its embryonic stage as a music and art retreat center. It will evolve to operate as a farm school, organic farm, and an active site for group work, learning, and farm-based stays. please feel free to bring your instruments so we can play music in the long winter nights.
