  Descripción

  I am a Dutch 60+, single woman managing a small organic farm with olive trees, fruit trees, vegetable garden and some livestock as goats, chickens and rabbits. I have two cats and a dog. I try to be as self reliant as I can preserving a lot of my produce. I look out at the Gardunha mountain range and I am surrounded by cherry and peach orchards. I live 3 km away from the village which is accessible by sand and gravel roads. My nearest neighbours are a km away. So very tranquil. I have my own solar energy and water source.

  Ayuda

  I could use help with pruning, mowing and general garden work and especially the heavier jobs. Some shelters need to be made for the rabbits as my polytunnel blew away in the last storm.

  I have a spare upstairs bedroom with a double bed and a double sofa bed in the upstairs living room. I have a Campervan which could be used as emergency accommodation. The upstairs has his own bathroom with a bath. Downstairs is a shower room. Cooked can be in the kitchen in a side building.

  There are lots of walking routes around my farm. Two villages at 3 km distance with some cafes. I have a small swimming pool to cool down. You will have access to a bicycle. Fundão is 30 min drive away. In the summer months there is a swimming pool in one of the villages. River beaches ar3 a bit further. Access to a car is advisable. I have only 1 passenger seat in my pickup.
