  Description

  Dear Workawayers,
  
  We are an early-bird couple living a peaceful, self-sustained healthy life in a 2 hectar farm in the district of Leiria and center of Portugal. We consider ourselves easy going, open-minded and down to earth, speaking four languages, including portuguese, german, english, french.
  
  Our terraced oasis is surrounded by different vegetation areas amid woodland, olive-yards, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, farm animals and vine-yards.
  
  Unfortunately this beautiful area is often hit by wild fires and subject of eucalyptys monucultures, leading to increasing biodiversity losses and soil erosion. In this context, we have decided to experiment further with new practices towards land cultivation and management. Therefore, we started to explore with biodynamic farming, permaculture and agroforesting.
  
  We live in the small village Regadas, which is 10 minutes away by car from Pedrogao Grande. While Lisbon or Porto is approximately 2 hours away by car, Coimbra, as capital of the central area is only 40 minutes driving.
