    Description

    We have a beautiful land next to a beautiful river in Montemor-o-Novo, Alentejo, Portugal.

    We had a great opportunity to buy this plot of heaven 2 years ago - 600 meters of river, 8.5 hectares, 4 water mines, 1 water mill, 2 houses, 1 carpentry and a looooot to plant! We feel a great responsibility to protect this land and ecosystem and our focus is to plant a beautiful forest, regenerate the river, rebuild the ruins, create new infrastructures (dry toilets, outside kitchen, carpentry, etc) and provide a safe space for beautiful people and wild animals to stay or circulate.

    We have dogs, cats and a piggy.

    Everyone in the farm has parallel jobs, so we're not able to work full time on the farm, and that's why we need help. We're very receptive to other knowledge, organization systems and experiences.

    Our house is 2km away from the city, so it's very easy to have an independent life and move around walking or biking.
    You can participate on many different activities, such as theater, yoga, singing, jam sessions, chess, football, etc.

    Here at the farm there are a lot of people passing by and helping out, it sometimes get's intense. We love to socialize but we also love our quiet time and privacy. We value people that find their own rhythm and space, that are independent and that communicate with clarity.

    We would love to find someone with a sense of community but also independent and focused on their tasks.

    We're absolutely closed to racists, fascists, xenophobes, sexists and people who manifest any kind of disrespect or authoritarianism towards others. We are very strict on this one.
