Description
We are a married couple in our early 60’s and have owned our Portuguese Farmhouse for just over 20 years. It is a rural property situated in Quelfes, near Olhao in the Eastern Algarve. Our house is about a 15minute drive from Faro airport and a 10 minute drive from the nearest beach.
We have 3 acres of land which includes Carob, Almond and Olive Trees and we have about 80 vines from which we make our own wine.
There is plenty to do on the land throughout the year and extra pairs of hands are always welcome. -

Help
We would like help with picking carobs in July and August and Olives in October and November. All through the year general land clearing , tree cutting, weeding and general garden maintenance. There is also painting, cleaning and house maintenance.
Michael is a builder and trained as a joiner so lots of skills to share as the house has been completely renovated from a ruin by ourselves.
We would ask for 5 hours per day per person Monday to Friday or 5 days to suit as we are flexible. -
