Descripción
We are a farm located in Douro Valley with a magnificent view over the Douro river. The place offers wine grapes, olives and fruits, so we produce olive oil and our organic red wine. We also have a vegetable garden where we grow our own nutrition. The animals: sheeps , chickens, ducks, donkey, cats and dogs are our family too. It’s our main care. Our forest it’s an inspiration. We are an organic farm following sustainable and ecological principales. It’s our ethic and our vision. We have some beautiful housing structures that we intend to rebuild step by step mixing traditional and eco methods. We are engaged with a simple way of living respecting all the beings in the system. We have a great compromise with art, we give preference to artists that intend to have an inspiring retreat in which they will develop their own artistic projects.
We consider that the stay should be in minimum one month. We feel with the experience we had that is really important engage with this system and the project. Time to arrive. Time to get involved. Time to give and receive the best from/to this place.
Our mission - to achieve an eco-system where we honour, respect and embrace all beings.
🙏

We started the experience in March 2018, with any expectation, and you could believe, was an amazing period. We feel so grateful to everybody that cooperate with us.
We need to say: Our place takes us a lot of resilience, work and energy to the transition we did, and we are still doing. We really need people that loves and respect nature that want to be in service to a system that wants to do a shift in itself and in the collective.
Some tasks all year around:
Feed the animals, keep them clean, healthy and happy, be with the donkey in the vineyards.
Maintenance: rebuilding, painting, carpentry mostly in spring and summer;
Gardening between March and November;
Farmkeeping in general it is a need during all year;
Creating social media contents about daily farm life and events;
Welcoming our guests and help with programs that we do, like tours and wine tastings;
Support and create gatherings such as art, music sessions, open air cinema ….
Very important issue: we need some people with skills related with carpentry. One of our big goals at the moment is to build a new structure to the animals and for the kids to play with our own wood and materials.

for your kindness and dedication.
It was a very nice experience, with all the care and all the willingness you put into everything you did. 5 weeks went by in which Vernon’s collaboration was extremely devoted.
We were even graced with a tasty Asian lunch. Thank you so much Vernon. Our door is always open for you.
Your good mood, your kindness, and your great humility to learn and cooperate are the best skills you have.
We hope life brings you all.
With gratitude
Maria
