Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak English, German and a bit of Portuguese. We have a background in civil engineering, health and fitness and we have travelled and lived in many places on this planet.
Help
Hi there,
We are running a farm in the middle of Alentejo (the pictures that you see).
We are looking for people who can help us maintain and develop our private home and large vegetable garden, look after the animals, clean, and help with vegan/vegetarian cooking.
Fall/winter 2025 - looking for long-term help, mainly with cleaning, cooking, garden maintenance, and some construction projects.
We are also always eager to learn new things. We are very interested in Marketing and social media content creation. We have a big interest in anything related to videography as well.
So if you feel this is a part you can/want to share let us know.
We are really looking forward to receiving your message, just give us a couple of days to respond as we are receiving a lot of them.
Sunny regards,
Jan, Stephan, & team

If I’d had more time, I definitely would have stayed longer. What I appreciated most was the daily routine, which I enjoyed so much that I’ve adopted parts of it into my own life.
