Description
Oi! My name is Nicolas and I had a dream to create a beautiful place in nature.
It' is an old olive grove with a house in a nature reserve close to Odemira. The land and the olive trees need love and the house needs some restoration. Long term plan is to create a permaculture and be able to fully live off-grid. If you want to contribute to nature and help create a paradise, then you are more than welcome to join.
Warm regards,
Nicolas

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Odemira is a town and a municipality in Beja District in the Portuguese region of Alentejo.
It is famous for its wild beaches. The village of Zambujeira do Mar is home to the Festival do Sudoeste, one of the biggest rock festivals in Europe.
The municipality of Odemira has great agricultural potential, specially in the western area of the region.
Help
Over the next 2 months (nov/dec) we focus on 3 simple tasks: restoring the 100-year-old olive grove (pruning, clearing boar damage), harvesting olives for oil, and rebuilding raised-bed terraces + seeding winter crops.
4 hours/day, 5 days/week.
No experience needed—just enthusiasm and willingness to get hands dirty. We guide everything.
In return: private 5M dome with kitchen, fireplace, bedding, private cold shower + one wholesome home-cooked meal daily (mostly organic/veggie—tell us dietary needs; self-cater the rest).
Ready to help regenerate this wild land? Message us what excites you about olives and off-grid living! 🍈🔥
