  • Description

    Description

    Family Farm in Alto Minho, Arcos de Valdevez. We have two dogs, one cat and a veggie garden that needs to be taken care of while we're traveling. Our animals love walks and cuddles while the veggie garden needs watering and weeding. We love to exchange knowledge, growing food, healing the landscape and living a life in harmony with nature. Looking forward to meet new like-minded people.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    10 minutes by car to the next village, Arcos de Valdevez. Every first Saturday in the month there is a market happening with our local alternative community. It's a good opportunity to meet like minded people. We also can talk better about what's happening around on the days of your arrival. Our 4ha property invites for exploration and the river is close by to enjoy. You can also do beautiful walks outside the property. National park Gerês is not far.

    Help

    We're going to travel in May, so we'd like to have someone that can take care of our animals and the veggie garden for about two weeks. We'd like to get to know you before we're leaving and train you in the tasks that we need your help with. So we need you to arrive at least one week before we're leaving.
