    Descripción

    Davina and Simon are the owners of 6 hectares of terraced land which they bought in July 2018. Building renovation, construction and permaculture have been the main activities for the past 2 years.

    We have been assisted by many, many volunteers from this and other platforms, and we value the energy, curiosity and inspiration that they bring. We like to give them an opportunity to learn new skills, but also to involve themselves deeply into the lifestyle of the Quinta. Many tell us that they have learned life skills and found the place to be personally healing.

    It is our intention to transform this old Portuguese farm and its terraces into a working organic farm which sustains its residents and visitors, and is the setting for a Healing Retreat Centre. We wish to share the pure air, fresh water and natural beauty with those who wish to come on formal retreats, spend their holidays here, or experience the lifestyle as volunteers.

    We welcome volunteer help mostly in the maintenance of the gardens and planting on terraces around the property, building and maintenance of existing spaces, and helping to maintain the walkways in the cork forest. We also experiment with projects to optimise the spring water systems on the land.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    We have friends of many nationalities who often drop by the farm, and we are happy to share our experiences and recommendations of local opportunities for hiking, exploring, places to visit, local gatherings and places of interest. We regularly work with local artisans/builders and the small community of Monchique offers a great chance to view and live the Algarve hills lifestyle in full.

    Due to the great variety of work and activities available within the property, volunteers have a chance to learn several skills by working on the land: wood work, terraces grass trimming, weeding gardens, organic building, composts, permaculture, harvesting, planting and maintaining our terraces and woodland walkways.
