Description
Hillside Fruit Farm, Centro Portugal.
A small 'Quinta' with 1 acre surrounded by mountains and forests, featuring permaculture and building projects in rural Portugal. We welcome short-term volunteers for the moment for house and cat sitting two lovely cats. One cat Tiger is 15 years old and the newest addition Azula is under one year old.
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.
