Description
Close to the beaches of Zambujeira do Mar in Alentejo, SW Portugal, we are Jason and Isabel, a Swiss/English couple with a young family living on a beautiful, off-grid homestead of 5.7ha.
We are looking for a couple / two friends who want to spend some time this winter with us, helping us to bring to life our food forest project and work in our permaculture garden. The other project is creating a bathroom for one of our guest cabins in an existing structure.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Between us, we speak English, German and French, and we are passionate about sustainable living. The land is beautiful and relatively untouched - we always have lots to do, but love the progress we have made so far, the skills we have learned and the experiences we have made. We are happy to share our knowledge and experience from permaculture gardening, alternative education to off grid living and surfing.
The life here is very diverse and you can learn a lot about the different tasks and challenges of daily life off grid. We are also keen surfers with a beautiful, uncrowded beach just a 5 min bike ride away. We have surfboards that we can lend out, and have two guest bikes.
Aide
We are looking for positive, motivated and handy people with a passion for nature and off grid living, who like to get busy. Ideally we are looking for a couple / two friends to share accommodation in one of our cosy wooden cabins.
Keen to learn about off-grid, self-sufficient lifestyles? We have a large permaculture garden that needs work, from weeding to planting veggies. We also have a wide variety of maintenance to be done on our guest cabins. Good cooks are always welcome :)
Maybe you are a skilled carpenter or tradesman? We always have fun and creative jobs, large and small, for handy people who can work unsupervised.
Volunteers in their own camper van: 15 hours per week
Volunteers in our accommodation: 20 hours per week
We are very flexible about working schedules. Whether you prefer to do fewer full days, or more shorter days, we are open and like to go with the flow that works for everyone involved.
Generally a daily lunch from Monday to Friday is provided. We cook seasonal and local vegetarian food and can also cook vegan. Breakfast and dinner will be self catered by you in your own space.
Please ensure you have international health and accident insurance.

Hébergement
You will stay in a cosy off-grid wooden cabin. It has a wonderful view over the ocean and coastline and we rent it out in summer to tourists. The accommodation is a real treat.
We also have plenty of room for camper vans, so volunteers in their own van are very welcome.
Autres infos...
1km to stunning beaches and cliff trails. Surfing/bodyboarding - we can provide surfboards if needed. And we have a bicycle which can be borrowed. There is a regular bus service from Zambujeira to local towns and a daily direct bus service to Lisbon.
