Descripción
This project located one hour north from Lisbon, in Ribatejo, near Santarém, Almeirim and Alpiarça.
This project started in 2008 with the wish of selling organic products to the local community. Later I realised how difficult would be for me a single mother with little investment power to thrive as a farmer. Being a Permaculture designer since 2006 , I dedicate then my time to developed the project and teach permaculture.
My soul, was always looking for a community and It moved away from this project in the attempt to join other communities.
I'm now back for two years in the land but I decided to be one my one for a wile. I'm now opening for the months of Summer in the hope to address all the work that being pending wile I was working on the school.
I'm also looking for someone to manage volunteers. Someone that can commit for at least 2 months and have leading capacities. The working time is the same as volunteers, plus preparing the tasks and meeting with me. Besides accommodation, food, internet, laundry and other commodities this person will receive some pocket money, access to a bike and a electric motorcycle. I will only decide if you're the one for the job after two weeks experience as a volunteer.
There's many tasks to do:
-Cleaning and organising
-Gardening
-Agroforestry
-Fencing
-Building
-Taking care of Animals: 2 cats, 1 dog and several chickens
Gardening, Cleaning and Organising it's expected to do, the other are optional, depending on resources and your wish and ability to do them.
Principles of the project:
Live in harmony with nature
Sharing knowledge and experience
Work locally
Living a healthy stile of live: eating organic, vegetarian, preferably from the land. Avoiding all kind of drugs even simple one like sugar and coffee.
Live in harmony with the self and others.
My goal is one day going for lunch means going for a walk in my garden and agroforest. No cooking no cleaning afterwords just the pure joy of picking and heating. If I could share this pleasure with a small community I would be in heaven.
If you smoke or have any unhealthy habit you still free to join me as long your mindful and don't impose your habit to others. Be responsible for it and make sure your habit doesn't bring any extra work for others.
What is expected from a volunteer?
A person committed with the principles of the project that uses her/is time to help it thrive. Someone eager to learn how a life in harmony with nature looks like. Glad to share her/is skills with us. Open to go along with any work needed to be accomplished so together we can grow in the same direction.
What a volunteer can expect from your host?
I commit to welcome you, provide camping site, food and two moments on a week that we reserve for sharing knowledge and/or create experiences that allow us to dive deeper into our research subjects .We shall all support each other and participate in an active way to find the best solutions for all. There's Internet but limited, laundry machine and hot shower.

Objetivos de sostenibilidad de las NU que intenta conseguir este anfitrión
Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
More than the exchange of knowledge and time for work is a unique human experience for both. No mather if the outcome is positive or negative either host and volunteers will be given the opportunity to learn and share new ideas what is a fertile ground for learning and growth. Beside the unique human experience of participating on the creation of a sustainable and ecological living plave. You will have to face many challenges : communication, adapting to different costumes, living a life connect with nature and more spiritual comforts than physical. The food is fantastic but probably not what you're use to. Take a change and step out of your comfort zone.

Patricia is a person with lots of energies and plans and in summer, you might learn a lot about permaculture from her I guess. I loved the sunsets at her place!
