    Description

    We are a family of 3 children (16y, 12y and 5y) and we look forward to assisting with gardening and / or craft work on our small organic farm in the mountains of Portugal. It would be nice if you knew about permaculture, because we are building our farm according to permaculture principles. You can live with us in a separate guest room with adjoining shower..We can only accommodate 1 person at a time!

    Wir sind eine Familie mit 3 Kindern (13J, 9J und 12) und freuen uns über Unterstützung bei der Gartenarbeit und/oder handwerkliche Arbeiten auf unser kleinen biologischen Farm in den Bergen von Portugal. Schön wäre es, wenn Du Dich mit Permakultur auskennen würdest, da wir dabei sind unsere Farm nach Permakultur Prinzipien aufzubauen. Wohnen kannst Du bei uns in einem separaten Gästezimmer mit angrenzender Dusche. Wir können nur 1 Person gleichzeitig aufnehmen !
