  Descripción

  Hello there!
  
  We're a family of human beings, Ana, Ale and our toddler, and 2 cats, Fletchie and Micio.
  
  We have very recently (2025) found the piece of land we have been dreaming of for years and have committed to being 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 and fruit trees, another with oaks and plenty of fresh water from the ground!
  
  Biodiversity and Regeneration are key elements to our presence here.
  
  Our long term vision is of an Agroforest, a haven for all Beings.
  A Lab for the Self, the Community and the Planet.
  A space to share, learn and care.
  
  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.
  
  We wish to be contacted by humans, with messages written by humans. We prefer authenticity with imperfection to artificiality with impersonality.

  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 toddler'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.

  Ayuda

  There are plenty of opportunities here to learn and contribute with your skills.
  
  Right now, the main focus in creating a comfortable place to live and share life with others.
  
  3 main projects for the Spring/Summer season:
  
  The vegetable garden came to life this Spring! Keeping it going is a daily need.
  
  There's also some maintenance of the buildings to be done during Spring/Summer, like whitewashing walls.
  
  The house has 2 bathrooms, but we have the intention to start a compost toilet building project.
  
  
  You'll be supporting both or one of us while doing tasks and we're happy to count with your ideas.
  
  These are some ideas, from which we define together what serves best in that moment:
  
  >>Tending to the land and the plants (depending on the Season)
  Cutting grass, support in the vegetable garden (weeding, watering, etc.), pruning trees, collecting fruits, olive harvest and planting trees in the Autumn, ...
  
  >>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 (i.e. restoring furniture, whitewashing walls indoor and outdoor, painting gates, etc.)
  
  
  If you have a green thumb or are inspired by arts, we welcome you're initiative to propose a project that we can do together.
  
  Sometimes we will go away to visit family, so house-sitting is also needed in these periods.

  Alojamiento

  At the moment , accommodation is in our dear camper.
  
  It's cosy and equipped with a kitchen, parked away from the main building, under oak trees. You may use the extra bathroom on the ground floor of the main building. If you need a fridge it's also there, with independent access. We're creating a common kitchen which is nearly done, once it's ready it can also be used.
  
  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: a mix of independent meals and sharing some of the meals would be good.
  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.

  If you're a digital nomad, there is a co-working space nearby (+- 15 minutes walk), which we consider would be the best option.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  The road is good enough to support tractors and small trucks and it's good to medium sized campervans. There's space on the land to park and, if it's more comfortable for you, there are facilities on the ground level that you may use - bathroom with shower and toilet, washing machine (the common kitchen is on the way to be ready).

  If you're travelling with your pet, we'll discuss wether it's a good match with our cats. There's plenty of space, so we can look for a way to make it work.

  Mis animales / mascotas

  

  Micio (3 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.
