Description
We are an English family, Paul (49), Rachel (50), Sunay (13) and Iyla (10).
We live on our 2,5h Organic Fruit Farm.
We are vegetarian and grow much of our own food.
We are easy going, nature loving people, living a simple life.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Help around the house
UN sustainability goals this host is trying to achieve
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you like nature, animals, tranquility and Organic Farming then this may be your chance to relax and take a pause from your regular workaway journey. Remember you will be home alone during your stay, however friendly neighbours are nearby.
Help
We are specifically looking for someone with their own transport who can look after our farm and pets while we are away. We intend to travel to the North of Portugal for 1 week beginning around May 15th. Tasks will include taking care of the family pets, there are quite a few, as well as daily watering of plants. An evening dog walk would be an advantage for our dog Ziggy. The work will be around 2-3 hours per day. We can provide accommodation and help towards your own meal costs.

English: Fluent
Accommodation
There will be a room in the main house or annex available.
What else ...
We are located in central Algarve and only 15 mins from the beach. The beautiful castle of historic Silves is also only 15 mins away. There is a train station very nearby so the whole of the south coast is accessible.
We ourselves have travelled and volunteered in the past.
We settled in the Algarve for an outdoor life with interests in Permaculture, Organic Farming with interesting trees and plants, complementary medicine, yoga and spirituality.
