  Description

  Help with animals on a family farm and building a retreat center in Baixo Alentejo, Portugal. We moved from Germany to Portugal in January 2023 to grant our animals a life in freedom and to build a retreat for people who want to take a break from their stressful everyday to regain strength through a healthy connection with animals and nature. On our farm there are living various beings as cows, horses, goats, sheeps, pigs, dogs,cats and chicken.
