Description
Hello!
We are currently looking for a motivated individual or couple to help us create and develop an organic / regenerative garden in the beautiful countryside of Alentejo, Portugal.
Our place is a peaceful nature retreat surrounded by open landscapes, where we aim to build a meaningful connection between land, food, and people.
🌱 The Project
Our main focus right now is to establish a productive, beautiful and sustainable garden, using principles of:
organic farming
permaculture
regenerative agriculture
The goal is to create a garden that will:
supply fresh food for our team
support a future farm-to-table concept
become part of the guest experience
🏡 What we offer
A private house on the property
Up to 1 hectare of land available
Water and basic tools
A calm and inspiring natural environment
Freedom to design and develop your own garden approach
You will also have the possibility to:
sell surplus production to our guests
supply local markets or nearby shops
develop a small personal project alongside
🌿 Who we are looking for
We are looking for someone who:
has interest or experience in organic gardening, permaculture or regenerative farming
enjoys working outdoors and being in nature
is self-motivated and independent
is interested in building something meaningful over time
You don’t need to know everything — but you should have initiative, curiosity and responsibility.
⏳ Duration
We are ideally looking for someone interested in staying for several months, with the possibility to grow together with the project.
🌞 The vision
This is not just a volunteering position — it is an opportunity to create something from the ground up, with real impact and freedom.
