Description
Hi, my name is Resgate but every one calls me Dada. I am an artist and my current focus is on the preparation of the land to build new spaces for people to stay with us and to create an agroforest/permaculture garden. I have a family and with
us are employers that works taking care of the farm and the animals.
We have a farm in Alentejo with a confortable house with good food were we live, I also work here in my work shop, turism and taking care of the landscape. The pieces I manufacture are nothing but several exercises on the attention over landscape of a pre-defined territory, a permanent reflection about the love affair between the human nature and the landscape we inhabit, that nature being not at all different of the nature itself.
Our home is :
5mn far from S.Cristovão Village
20mn far from Montemor-o-Novo citty
At Montemor we have a house too in the city.
20mn far from Alcácer do Sal
30mn far from Évora
40mn far from beach
1.15h far from Lisbon,
1,15h far from Spain ( Badajos)
with good transportes ( train or bus )
We wait for you to help us to make there a better and sustentable place. We are waiting for your help.
Thank you

Help
We are currently creating our garden, so we need help with planting, pruning, and other tasks related.
We are building a chicken coop so that they can provide us fresh eggs :)
Also since we need more people and we want to share this space we are adapting a house into a dorm and creating a working/ artists station in another warehouse.
People say we cook very well so we love to spend sometime together in the kitchen. We have a fully functioning one but we are also building a big communal one. Come and help!
We also need some help on social media, so if you have the vision and want to share it with us, we are happy to host you as a content creator.
