  Descrição

  This farm is owned by Amelia whose lifelong dream was waking up every day to donkeys on a farm and whose dream has come true!!!
  
  We have a large double story house (well I think it's a mansion! And live in a little village far enough away to feel like we live in the Shire but close enough to the city to get out and about. Think Adams family meets pippi longstockings, meets faulty towers!
  The farm is a busy, unpredictable place and we are a boisterous irreverant bunch here, but full of love, fun, laughter and magic!
  We work 25 hours a week and all food is provided. We are mainly vegetarian but looove cheese and do eat a bit of meat here and there .
  We have a generously well stocked fridge and pantry and breakfast and lunch is also help yourself.
  
  We are all diy beginners so not much to teach volunteers regarding diy, so it is more of a bumbling along, following youtube tutorials, giving it a bash sort of project and every now and then we get a skilled volunteer or worker who can teach us a trick or two.
  
  I am always looking for skilled people like builders or carpenters, welders and we offer payment for these types of skills in addition to workaway hours too
  
  There is a lot of gardening, pruning, harvesting, building, painting, turning the barnyard into a nice place for our animals as recently its been a bit of a building site.
  
  This summer I am lovingly renovating some windows in some of the rooms so inside work in heat of the day and working on animals living spaces.
  
  We live 15 minutes from Aveiro in the countryside (we call it the Shire) Porto is 45 minutes away so on weekends theres always the possibility to leave the Shire end enjoy the city vibe.
  
  The farm is a fun farm for the pure pleasure of living and learning with our 3 donkeys, five ducks, 16 chickens, (5 cats and Annie the dog) who will want to try sleep with you!
  
  We aspire to make sure our animals have the best life. In fact it feels like most days we are their human slaves! We seem to always be putting up fences to stop chickens eating our veggies, dogs eating eggs, ducks bullying blind chickens! , donkeys escaping!
  
  The donkeys and all other animals need feeding, cleaning out, walking to the field and the garden is always begging for love and attention!
  We like to ensure we offer a fair exchange and value our volunteers and treat them like family.
  
  
  Amelia
