  Descripción

  Hello there!
  
  We're a family of human beings, Ana, Ale and our baby, and 2 cats, Fletchie and Micio.
  
  We have very recently found the piece of land we have been dreaming of for years and have commited to be its guardians.
  
  The farm needs a lot of love and care, as it was abandoned for some years. There's around 1ha of land, one part with an olive grove, fruit trees, oaks and plenty of fresh water!
  
  Biodiversity and Regeneration are key elements to our presence here.
  
  The farm is located in São Mamede Natural Park, where beautiful countryside sites and many beautiful nature trails to walk and cycle await you.
  
  Nearby, there is a spot on the river to swim or enjoy the sound of fresh water flowing.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  We're a family of Portuguese and Italian and the local community is very multicultural.
  
  There are plenty of activities going on in the area. We can give more details if you're curious.
  
  We've lived in different countries and have worked and volunteered with people of many different backgrounds. Learning from each other is something we appreciate about meeting other humans.
  
  We'll be happy to go together to some events, as long as it's compatible with our baby's schedule :)
  
  The region has a high concentration of dolmens, rock-hewn tombs, passage mounds and megaliths and an enchanting landscape, with its chsetnut trees and granite rocks.
  
  There are beautiful villages to visit, such as Marvão, Castelo de Vide and Beirã. Marvão is a mediaval village within the walls of the castle, on top of the hill, with stuning views. Castelo de Vide is also an historical village, with it's narrow streets in the old town and a lively centre.

  [PLEASE, CHECK HOUSE-SITTING DATES BELOW - AUGUST & OCTOBER]
  
  There are plenty of opportunities here to learn and contribute with your skills.
  
  Right now, our daily lives revolve around supporting our baby's descoveries and creating a comfortable place to live and share life with others.
  
  
  Sometimes we will go away to visit family, so house-sitting is also needed in these periods.
  House-sitting dates (we require that you arrive before and depart after):
  23rd to 29th August 2025
  2nd October to 2nd November 2025
  
  
  You'll be supporting both or one of us while doing tasks and we're happy to count with your ideas.
  
  >>Tending to the land and the plants
  Cutting grass, creating and maintaining a vegetable garden, pruning trees, colleting fruits/olive harvest, cleaning the land from microplastics, ...
  
  >>Support to the family
  Help with house shores, caring for our cats, food processing, shopping, ...
  
  >>DiY projects
  Support with different tasks that come along on a farm's daily life.
  
  
  You'll be involved in what calls to you, checking with yourself where you feel you have more skills and where you would like to learn something, and let us know.
  
  If you have a green thumb or are inspired by arts, we welcome you're innitiative to propose a project that we can do together.
  
  
  For you to know, we're working with a local Eco Arquitect and his team to renovate some buildings at the farm. His approach is based on how Nature works. If you're interested, you can always take a look at what they're doing and learn from there.
  Also, for technical support on the land, we hire local tradespeople, or exchange their service for something we can offer in return.

  Alojamiento

  Depends on the time of the year, the dynamics going on at the farm at the time of your stay, and on your preferences.
  
  There's a cosy camper equipped with a kitchen, parked away from the main building, under oak trees. For this option you'd need to use the extra bathroom in the main building and if you need a fridge it's also there.
  
  There's also an independent room that we're working on to host people. It's close to the main building, where there's the extra bathroom. The kitchen is in our home, and you're welcome to use it.
  
  There's hot water in the main building.
  
  If you prefer camping with a tent or are coming with your camper, that's also possible.
  
  We're open to discuss how to organise the food: have meals together or you can have your meals autonomously and we can provide ingredients. Our diet is mainly plant based, but we eat chicken and fish sometimes. Ana is inspired by macrobiotics and Ayurveda and Ale by italian cuisine, but we love to try food from different cultures and learn new recipes.
  If house-sitting, food is not included, according to workaway.

  Mis animales / mascotas

  

  Micio (2 años)

  Micio is a very soft, loving ball of hair :) He's a son of Fletchie and has altered mobility, a consequence of an infection that affected him as a kitty, but he walks, jumps, goes down and up the stairs and is very healthy. He loves to cuddle and pretend that he hunts.

  

  Fletchie (Ms. Fletcher) (7 años)

  Fletchie is a very kind, wise and experienced cat. She is very independent and goes for strolls at her own wish, spending most of the day out. She also enjoys a good nap in a comfortable blanket and, at her own pace, appreciates being petted.
