  • Description

    Description

    We are Harry and Petra, a Dutch couple who moved 8 years ago to the Portugal, Algarve . In 2025 we bought an amazing rural property which we need help for since its big and we love to leave it better than we found it. We have 2 cats, a dog and chickens and a big food garden and fruit trees to be taken care of. There is always work to do in different fields and we are looking for people who don’t mind helping us with all of them - so we are looking for people who don’t mind doing physical work. Tasks contain: gardening such as weeding, planting seeds/ walking our dog Coco/ household tasks such as cleaning in our house or our cars/ cleaning of the land such as cutting branches/ help with the chickens such as keep the coop clean/ supplying them with water. We always love to connect, share our knowledge and you can enjoy our land as much as we do ourselves. We think a couple would fit here.
