    We are a family starting up a eco-agriculturismo in the heart of the Algarve, Portugal. Near surfspots and beautiful hiking trails and the lively village Aljezur, we found a amazing farm. Now we need help with planting, seeding, building and breaking down fences! You can find us on instagram - ask us for the link.
