    Description

    Hello,

    We are a Portuguese family of four, living in Algarve and we are keeping a permaculture project.

    We need help with organic gardenning, open the coop and feed the chickens, sometimes help with cleanning and organising inside the house, for four hours a day, and you are free all weekend.

    We are in Tojeiro, 3km from Marmelete, 20km from Aljezur, you can go to the beach in your free time and we are 25km from Portimão too.

    Main things happening: permaculture, worm farming, organic gardening, food forest, organic chickens, cooking, fermenting foods, natural healing.

    There is a big community in front of our land, you can get there walking 1 minute, to meet people, have a drink, whatever :)

    We prefer people that stay long term, more than 3 weeks preferably.

    We can provide a bicycle to move around.

    You don't need any cooking skills, we cook for you.

    Our kids will be turning 7yrs old in December and they go to school for the day. In the afternoon they benefit a lot from having contact with English speakers, they're getting better everyday! (this is just a plus, not a requirement).

    Sometimes we have different tasks that require different routine.
