  Descripción

  We live here in the Castelo Branco region/ Central Portugal since 2020. Covid brought us here and we fell in love with the area. We bought a piece of land (4 ha) and want to live a simple self-sufficient lifestyle. It is a long way to get there but with time and help we will manage to do so some time.
  
  Us, that`s Michael originally from Israel, Nadine from Germany and our little son Luan born in Porrugal.
  
  We`re passionate about gardening. We love food (cooking, baking, preserving) and creating a self-sufficient sustainable home.
  We would like to increase our organic food production this year what means we need help with preparing garden beds, planting and sowing.
  
  We mostly having building projects going on, doing handicrafts, yoga and playing games.
  
  We enjoy the company of the greater likeminded community around us and also appreciate our peaceful safe heaven.
  
  We're living quite secluded but there is always something going on if you feel like hanging around with other people.
  
  Our projects vary from gardening over building to landscaping. We`re always open for new projects and ideas which enriches our life and the land. As we just started our off-grid homestead lifestyle we`re always interested in sharing experiences and learning new things.

  For the upcoming Spring we mainly need help in building a Pergola, finishing some projects we already started (shower, deck,... ) expanding the garden, clearing land and general maintenance.
  
  We would like to have help in the garden. That either can be planting, weeding, create new
  garden beds, etc. (depending on the season).
  
  Other tasks could be planting trees, digging ponds or creating swells, cooking, everything what´s coming up to maintain the land and create a little paradise.
