Description
We're a German-Portuguese family with two school aged children. We home school.
Our project is an already established, 20 year old permaculture homestead. We produce our own eggs and milk and some meat.
The holistic land management approach of including animals to improve soil fertility and grow trees is our main focus.
We have just bought another piece of land, and are starting the process anew.
This time, we are integrating horses on a track system with re-forestation, silvio-pasture like.
Tasks are varied, from land clearing, homestead projects to domestic help, we can probably find the suitable job for you!
