  Description

  We are a family (2 "adults", 1 kid with 3 years and big boy with 15)
  Living the dream of our own land after many years living in Aljezur on lots of different lands.
  
  We are living in our small chipsy eco village still in construction. We like it from scratch, pragmatic, simple and a bit chaotic.
  
  Since many years Steffi is working at the donkey sanctuary in Aljezur, where are hosted 15 Donkeys.
  Douring the summer month we will take responsibility over the farm to give the owner a well deserved brake.
  
  So we look for people that want to be with donkeys (from now on).
  Walk them, feed them, fence them, pet them and maybe shovel some poo.
  
  Second:
  
  We are interested in hosting someone that can help us finishing our "kitchen in the forest"-project. Means someone with some wood-building experience. See picture above.
  Its a nice working space for creativ-free, low budget building fun!
  
  Third:
  We want to build a tiny (1qm2) chicken shelter out of clay. Means to get your hand dirty and experience the satisfying magic of clay buildings.
  
  What else we like to do:
  Garden and trees, carpentry, hard work, soft work, land- scaping, dogs, chickens and donkeys, music and fire, human design.
  
  We are tolerant and lovely people looking for some inspirational and open energies to co-create.
  
  To walk to Aljezur its 20min :) and we are happily giving a lift cause we go there often.

  Accommodation

  Right now there is a wooden shelter with a bed!
  Shall be our forest kitchen on day :) but for now its a fantastic place to sleep.
  We share our cozy kitchen, shower and compost toilet.
  We also offer a bath in our fire tub :).
  
  And plenty of space for tents.
  (And tents to offer)

  What else ...

  We don't have any experience with helpers and wish for independent people who can sometimes be alone, who are open to the diversity of people and moods. And people who really like nature.
  
  Wir haben noch nicht viel Erfahrung mit Helfer und wünschen uns selbständige Menschen. Und Menschen, die Natur so richtig gut finden.
