Description
==============
The biological garden is waiting with many vegetables, we can use for our meals!
We are in this moment two persons who are living on the farm. Also 3 dogs, many wild animals, included the insects and the birds.
I am looking for help in the next
months. Skills : Walking sometimes with my dogs. Helping around and in the house and in the garden.
Biodiversity in nature and around the farm is awsome.
Bring with you good shoes. Also clothes for warm weather.The weather changes quick beween sunny hot days and cold nights.
If you like nature and look around, you see only nature.You find in our valley nice possibilities for walking and jogging.
My farm is near the beaches Salema and Boca do Rio( southwest of the Algarve),
Clean seawater to go to swim.
There is also a parking place , only in summer, for a campervan and you can use a bicycle for to go to the beach or the village.
I edited 2013 a book about biodiversity in this area- for the identification of the fauna and flora around us.
Landscape: Hills with hedges and trees. I try to protect different habitats for wild animals. The beach Boca do Rio is 15 min away.
The food is vegetarian , enriched with the vegetables from my garden and the Bio market in Lagos.
You should have knowledge for cooking simple meals( only for dinner and weekend).
For water protection : degradable toilet articles( shampoo, tooth creme, soap). Now there is enough water for all🤩.But not for dauly showers!
Also warm water shower.
Rooms: An independant double room
for 1-2 people or an independent apartment.
Saturday and Sunday. Free time . But you have to cook yourselves.
Free internet in the whole house.
In Budens: The Supermarket Intermarché , the post office , and a little medical center you .
You should have a health insurance.

The place and the surrounding landscape are really magical.
The work most of the times included gardening and light house work. It was organized really well and I didn't need any specific skills to fulfill the tasks. Therese always made sure that I didn't have to work throughout the midday heat and I had a lot of freedom to structure my day … read more

I stay on the Quinta with my frend and 3 Theresa`s dogs 10 days and it was amazing time!
In the early morning I liked to rush with dogs to the ocean and bathe with them in cold water. In the evening we worked in the garden and enjoyed its fruits.

I was very lucky to have David and
Florent in my house because they
took responsability for all I couldn't do myself. My dogs loved
them. They resolved a lot of problems on my farm and I could
trust them that they worked also when I wasn't there. I miss them, I miss to speak and learn again french, this lovely language.
I hope to see them again … read more

We stayed three weeks in therese's house. One of the best host we've had! An adorable woman, with very endearing dogs. We laughed a lot and shared some very good times. The Algarve is a beautiful area if you like nature, hiking and the beach! Thank you again Therese for this wonderful stay that will remain etched in our memory.

life in nature.

Absolutely loved my two weeks with Therese on the farm. The work was varied and the place was so lovely, quiet and peaceful, a great place to be based and take a step back from the busyness for a time during my travels. The garden produced such brilliant organic produce which was always incorporated in the meals which were also always delicious.

Der Aufenthalt auf der Quinta bei Therese und ihren Hunden hat mir viel Freude gemacht. Die Aufgaben waren gut zu schaffen und ich konnte selbstverantwortlich arbeiten und meine handwerklichen und künstlerischen Talente einsetzen. Die Nachmittage und Wochenenden standen zur freien Verfügung, so dass ich auf eigene Faust die Gegend erkunden konnte.
