    It is a creative self sustainable farm based on a small remote village in the Portuguese mountain. We look for active inventive people that want to plant a food forest, take care of horse, 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. We also help the villagers to make wine and harvest corn.
