Description
Hi there!
We are a small family (52/45/12years old) living on the countryside close to Odeceixe, at the beautiful southwest coast of Portugal surrounded by nature on our self sustainable organic farm and small yoga lodge we build up.
In 2000 we moved from our home country Germany to Portugal attracted by the nice climate, so many sunny days, the beautiful region and the simplicity of life. We came here to look for a more sensefull and quality life, away from the strict structre we were used to.
We live close to nature, do organic gardening and hold some animals like some chickens, a dog, cat and and 3 horses and provide ourselves with own water from the well and electricity from the sun.
There is different kinds of work to be done on the farm. At the moment it is mainly building, renovation and maintanance work and soon garden work.
As there is always some work to be done and we like the ideia of sharing what we do with others we are looking for people who like to stay for a short term, longer period or eventually a permant stay.
We give preference to people who have already some knowledge with ecological building, handicraft, gardening or animal care.
Looking forward to hear from you!
