Description
I live on an organic smallholding and also help run my parents farm which consists of olives and sheep. Mine is a new venture whereas my parents have farmed all their lives in the Alentejo and have worked on many conservation projects.
It's an idyllic spot away from the fray but near enough to walk to a couple of historical gems with lots of happening and a colourful international flavour too. My parents used to run a tourism business but are now scaling down and focusing more on their own farm projects. Although they occasionally still have guests, volunteers would not be expected to help with this.
We all help together on the land as a family although I also teach Portuguese to incomers and English at a local college. This region is spectacular for its natural diversity: cork and chestnut forests, vineyards, sheep and cattle farms, and plains which stretch as far as the eye can see providing a privileged habitat for wildlife.
We are warm and welcoming people who value simple values and integrity.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Part of what we offer is the chance to integrate with the family and share skills. This is a 2 way thing. My Father is very good at husbandry and has a wealth of knowledge about Portugal and farming but as he is over eighty, needs support with many tasks which would have been so easy a few years ago. Having fun is very much part of the agenda and people will be made to feel part of the family.
Aide
You will be helping with various projects depending on the time of year: olive picking from late October to late December, general help like feeding animals or helping my parents with household chores they may find challenging.
My Father has a wealth of local knowledge and will teach about the local country ways and traditions as well as showing people a good time. Tasks may be shared or not depending. Olive picking is certainly a shared task as we get family members and friends to come and help too so it is a fun and social time. We are currently looking for volunteers to help pick olives to make our own family olive oil for our own consumption and that of our guests.
