Help
In the 2 people, we are looking for any knowledge in organic Vegetable and fruit growing and food preservation would be great, but not a deal breaker. We eat mainly plant based foods, and fish, with the very odd occasion eating meat (although we don't actively buy it at supermarkets), so we're looking for someone who can inspire us with lovely new dishes to try. We are looking for big help in the garden with clearing the land, pruning trees, and help with the little ones.

Accommodation
We have a 2 bedroom home, but 1 bedroom will be spare to be used for the stay.

If you want to take anything with you on your days off you're welcome, but on these days, restaurant meals or excursions are not covered by us. When you work the 5 hours, any time out to smoke, eat, mobile phone scrolling are not to be included in this day.
What else ...
We are situated on a mountain top amoung eucalyptus trees, ideal for walking and exploring. We are based pretty much centre of the island, south facing, , with 1 bus going direct to funchal, which takes 1hr15 to get there, but we drive often there and that only takes 20 minutes and on certain occasions, you can get a loft down
