Description
Welcome to the paradise close to the most stunning beaches in the South West coast of the Algarve (Praia Bordeira 1km, Praia Amado 3km).
The help from Workawayers allows the families of farmers to continue to work and live on their farms.
The Workawayers can be part of this rural life.
Here is revealed a new and unexpected view of the world.
Through hard work, a life without a watch, with the calm and harmony of nature, brings satisfaction and joy.
The help we are asking volunteers for relates solely to the vegetable garden, looking after the animals and preparing the food we will eat together.
It is important for us to point out that volunteers will not be asked to help with the guest house
All the pictures and information about the guest house has nothing to do with the life we lead on the farm; none of us live or work there.
ABOUT US:
We are a couple, an Italian cook, Dania (here since 2007) a technical engineer from Austria Klaus (here since 2002) and our daughter Joana (born August 2012)
We live a self sustainable lifestyle as far as possible.
We are looking only for people who really want to experience life and help in these conditions.
People who will be happy to be here and do their best as we will try so.
We ask that you are MOTIVATED AND INTERESTED in helping us on the farm; we are more than happy to share our life experience with ENTHUSIASTIC AND ENERGETIC PEOPLE!
