Description
Hello, We are Ami & Samy.
Our farm project was born out of our mutual dream to live close to nature, completely off-grid, with a self-sustained but comfortable regenerative lifestyle. We found our dream land in Alentejo, between the picturesque hills of Cercal do Alentejo and the stunning beaches of Porto Covo. We started out from scratch, as there was nothing on the land, and planted thousands of trees and plants to regenerate the soil. By now we built some amazing structures like a Zome temple for gatherings, Kitchen and hangout space, comfortable toilets and showers and platforms for spacious glamping tents. We use solar as a source for energy. We take water from the land so we installed smart systems ( for gray and black water) in order to filter the water and recycle it all back to the land.
We are currently looking for talented people to help us with farm work, wood work and art structures. We`d love to share this magic land and our dream project with you as it unfolds. If you like what you see and feel like taking part in in it please feel free to get in touch with us.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have people from many parts of the world staying and helping on the land. Our after hours activities range from jams with some amazing local and international musicians to sharing meals and having late night conversations with people from all over the world. The surf around includes some of the best waves Portugal has to offer.
Help
We would love to get some talented hands to help us with wood works as most of what we are building is made with wood. We also planted thousands of trees and plants by now and intend on plating much more, so if you have green fingers and passion for farming and gardening there will be plenty for you to do. Creative artistic eyes and hands will be appreciated as we have lots of space to create and we have a sweet passion for details. You will be staying in a beautiful countryside environment surrounded by nature and animals, just 15 min drive from the beach, and if you surf, you will find some of the best breaks very close by.

Accommodation
We have one space for long term volunteers to stay in a comfortable caravan with own kitchen and private garden space. Apart from that we have some amazing 4 and 5 diameter glamping tents in which we host our family, friends and volunteers. There is a big shared kitchen space where you will be able to cook your own food and enjoy after hours jams and late night conversations. We usually fill up the kitchen with groceries and let you decide what to do with it. There is also a comfortable bathroom (not compost) and hot showers for your use.
What else ...
Our farm is located in a very special area, its still authentic, still pure and hardly touched by tourists. It lays between protected natural reserves and the never-ending Alentejo hilly views on one hand, and a stunning strip of beaches on the other. It offers the best of the countryside tranquil lifestyle mixed with a wide-spread local community attractions which may include weekends markets, gatherings of all sorts and Jam circles with some amazing international musicians. Once in a while we host gathering in our Zome temple, so if you happen to be around at the time you might catch some sweet memorable moments.
There is an easy and direct public transport that arrives to our area, once you are around we can easily pick you up and bring you to the land.
