Descrição
My partner and I have our home in Central Portugal and have lived here for 13 years. We are both craft workers and have workshops at home. We are concerned for the environment, our garden is organic, we have a compost toilet (as well as a house toilet). We have approximately half an acre of land, including 14 olive trees. We usually need some help with the olive harvest for a couple of weeks in early November.
The guest/volunteer accommodation is a separate small barn conversion, can sleep 1, 2 or 3 people. It has a sitting room, 1bedroom and a shower room with wash basin and toilet. The kitchen is in the main house. It is an old property, comfortably renovated.
We have two cats who are sociable and quite vocal! We love music and being creative.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado
JardinagemCriar/cozinhar refeições caseirasOportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We are English-speaking and live in a small village, the sole estrangeiros/foreigners here. The neighbours welcomed us and are very friendly. The village is typical of rural Portugal, small, family-oriented, agriculture-based. We have watched and learned something of how Portuguese people live and farm. We are non-meat eaters (I am vegan), so that is culturally different, however it is now known and we are given endless seasonal fruit and vegetables. We live a simple life, at home working and gardening mostly and that is acknowledged and respected.
Ajuda
We need help with the garden, pruning trees, clearing and preparing for Autumn/Winter.
