Description
We are happy to share with you our home located in midst of the stunning hills of naturepark São Mamede, where we have nearly 60 ha land around our house.
We moved to here five years ago from Germany, where we also had a farmproject.
We, Anne 47 (finnish) and Moriz (german) 52, work in invidual pedagogik with youngsters who are difficult to reach.
Our sons, Valentin 25 and Anton 22, also live here with us and also a 16-years old boy Tim, whom we take cate of. Our daughter Laura 19, works in Lissabon and is in her free days here.
On our farm we have 3 horses, a dog and a cat.
The tasks are depending of what is currently going on here. At the moment, Juny 2026, Anne is busy with an individual educational project and only part-time at home and Valentin is on holiday in Germany. Due this we would especially appreciate some extra help around the property. So at the moment we mainly need help with a variety of general tasks, including feeding the horses, watering the garden, cooking, and helping out with everyday activities around the property.
We believe that independent, cuided, work ethics can create huge impact on our lives. That's why we invite everyone to try out also advanced craft technics, like welding or driving excavator and already had some girls here, who afterwards loved to do this things (-: But no worries, we are there to explain and guide you in the beginning. All we need is your motivation and hunger for experiences.
We prefer short-notice requests, so please ask just if you are planning to come in next 4 weeks. Very short notice, like 1-2 days before is usually also no problem(-:
Meals are vegan/vegetarian.
For meat eaters we usually have some saugage available, or of course you can cook your own meal, if you need cooked meat.
We cannot write invitation letters for visa, because this has too many risks for us. -
