Description
Hellooo,
We are a family with 2 children and animals [dogs, cats, chickens, peacock...].
We simply need help on a yearly basis, to take care of this beautiful land located 20 kms north of Lisbon!
We try to respect as much as we can our Mother Earth and we want to live in an organic land, with peace and positivism.
We are team players and open minded.
This is happening right now and daily help is really needed !
Our main tasks for this year in this 2.5 hec land are:
- Taking care of the animals.
- Assist with wood tasks
- Help on land (weeding etc...)
- Painting
- Etc....
If you want to be part of our team, do not hesitate to contact us.
We are waiting for you ;-)

We have a very nice small shared kitchen that can be used by all ... food is provided of course and everyone can cook.
We have washing machines and clean, nice compost toilets.

We live on the hill of São João dos Montes with an awesome view over the town of Alhandra and the river Tejo. The next small supermarket is 5 minutes by foot. To Alhandra you can walk in 20 minutes, from there goes the local train frequently to Lisbon. With that you are in the main train station of Lisbon in 20, in Barrio Alto in 30 minutes.
We have several cars and we drive down town regularly.
