    Descripción

    Multilingual family of four (parents and two boys, 6 and 7) developing a permaculture homestead in a coastal Portuguese town.

    We're creating a food forest, raising ducks and geese, and homeschooling with a Montessori-inspired approach. We're learning as we go and seeking long-term residents to join our journey and help shape our growing community.

    Focus for the autumn and winter:
    - Prepare veggie garden beds for the growing season: cleaning, composting, mulching and sowing
    - Chop, shred, move, and apply biomass throughout the garden
    - Planting, propagation, weeding, and general upkeep of our 3-year-old food forest

    Construction and DIY projects: building garden structures, improving outdoor spaces, and working on various homestead improvements.

    Childcare and education: families with homeschooled children of similar age to our boys are especially welcome to share the journey and collaborate if and when it makes sense to do so.

    Animal care: assisting with our ducks and geese, potentially helping to establish new livestock projects.

    Sustainable living projects: contributing to renewable energy systems, water management, and eco-friendly practices.

    You should be able to speak English or Romanian or Portuguese.

    We value a willingness to learn, adaptability, and a positive attitude. While skills in permaculture, carpentry, gardening, or teaching are beneficial, they're not required. We're excited to share knowledge and learn from our volunteers as we work together to create a thriving, sustainable community.

    Welcome to our coastal permaculture homestead in central Portugal!

    Our 1-hectare property features a 3-year-old food forest with swales, ponds, and veggie gardens. We're home to ducks and geese, with abundant local wildlife including birds, insects, squirrels, and rabbits.

    This opportunity is ideal for young families interested in permaculture, sustainable living, and community building. We offer two independent guest apartments and space for motorhomes, all powered by renewable energy.

    For those interested in longer-term engagement, we have a second 2-hectare plot nearby. We're envisioning this as a future co-housing or intentional community project. Long-term residents can help shape this vision and potentially establish their own on-site businesses. Whether your passion is sustainable agriculture, eco-tourism, education, or holistic wellness, there's room for your ideas. We also have a large bell tent perfect for hosting workshops, retreats, or community events. If you're looking to contribute to a growing eco-community and turn sustainable living dreams into reality, this could be your opportunity.

    In your free time, you can enjoy:
    - Beaches less than 1km away
    - Excellent surfing spots (Nazaré, Peniche, Ericeira) nearby
    - Hiking in the surrounding mountains and woods
    - Bird watching and nature observation
    - Exploring local attractions like dinosaur footprints, natural reserves, and caves

    Nearby amenities include:
    - Train station with connections to larger cities
    - Mini supermarket, coffee shop, post office, and playgrounds within walking distance
    - Larger amenities (pharmacy, restaurants, bars) accessible by bike or car

    There are bicycles available for you to use. We're also well-equipped with gardening, woodworking, and electronics tools

    Join us in shaping a collaborative community focused on sustainable living and family-friendly experiences!
