    Description

    Hello, we're Esmee (24) and Laurens (33), a couple who recently traded city life for the charms of Portugal.

    Our focus is on establishing a thriving farm and a cozy local tourism spot. We're passionate about cultivating our own food and caring for animals.

    To achieve this dream, we're seeking assistance with various tasks around our property to create a magical place.

    We're a young, energetic couple eager to welcome others to share in our journey.
