Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Once the community mainly consist out of old people the moment you are helping out you will be invited to eat in their houses drink wine and talk the language. Many things are possible here like learning how to make bread in wood ovens or making wine in the traditional way and after wards the 'fire water'. With us you can plant, re-forest lands that are full of eucalyptus and initiate the process of traditional house building merged with eco-friendly and sustainable construction . We intend to provide a sustainable living way, by art, healing and food foresting.
Help
This is a creative self sustainable farm based in a small remote village in the Portuguese mountains. We look for active inventive people that want to plant a food forest, make company to old village people and re-construct 250 years old ruin houses. We also look for painters that would like to make beautiful murals for the village, construct water systems and re-forest, or build furniture. We also help the villagers to make wine and harvest corn. Many things are possible here
