    Description

    We are 3 friends who strongly believe that we can change the society collectively (with quite a lot of work and a lot of Funk to it!)
    So we decided to start acting through a small regenerative farming project, 10 min away from the beautiful Ericeira. We aim to feed the local neighbourhoods with good vegetables, meanwhile regenerating the land for the next generations.

    We seed, plant, harvest, care, constantly try new things, recycle, exchange, build, transmit, dream, celebrate...

    This project only make sense if we are everyday more people growing on the same direction! Can't wait to meet you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Honestly, we are really hoping we can share everything we have learned about regenerative agriculture but also how to start a project like that.
    We also start to have quite a big network of people around, so we will be happy to make you part of it all.

    We would need a special help from someone who is agil with wood work (doesn't need to a be the biggest expert, but have the basucs and the love for it!).

    Mainly help in the garden: make beds, seed, plant, harvest, build structures, make our garden beautiful and funky!
    We like to get work done and see that the project is going forward everyday! (we are also happy to finish the day and share ideas with a glass of wine ;-) )

    Super important to take care of the people who come visit our garden (don't need to do anything special, just to make sure everyone feels at home on this land).

    But also help in the kitchen and for general house tasks (everybody does his/her part).

    Accommodation

    We only have a tent for now. There is also a tipi that you can sleep in (we have all matresses and blankets...) but the tipi does not close on the top, so it's nice only in summer (starting end of May/June).

    As for food, you will never lack of it, we always try to adapt to each person that come (vegetarian, vegan, meat eaters, gluten free....). And you get the chance to get all the veggies, eggs, mushroom, aromatics and fruits from really good producers aound or from the garden!!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Our garden is 5 min away from Mafra and 10 min away from Ericeira. There is a bus you can catch both ways.

    We also have bicycles you can use on the place and if we happen to go to the city we can definitely drop you but PLEASE don't expect us to drive you around all the time as we like to work the full day on the garden (you only will work on the morning).
