Hello! I’m François, and I’m excited to welcome motivated volunteers to my project in the Magic Mountains of Portugal. If you like working hard, have dedication & skill, and are looking for an awesomely rewarding eco/permaculture living experience, this is the perfect opportunity for you!
About the Farm:
The farm is a lively place where we focus on sustainability and community living. We’re always working on enhancing our facilities, which means we need enthusiastic help in eco construction and all types of gardening. Whether you have experience or a strong willingness to learn, your contributions will be invaluable here.
What We Offer:
- Hands-On Experience: collaborate on various projects with me, gaining practical knowledge and skills in construction and gardening while having a good time and enjoying the nature around us.
-A Supportive Environment: I love good team vibe's and sharing what I have learned with volunteers. You’ll be part of a friendly atmosphere where your efforts are appreciated.
Work/play Schedule:
We work hard together during the week, 5 hrs/day from Monday to Friday. This allows you to dive deep into your tasks and see the fruits of your labor which is super rewarding . Then, on the weekend we celebrate doing cool local stuff, sports, or being in natur, together or alone.
Who We’re Looking For:
If you’re a motivated person who enjoys working hard and is eager to contribute to a meaningful project, I’d love to hear from you! Your skills and enthusiasm will play a crucial role in helping this project grow and thrive.
Come and be a part of it! Together, we can achieve great things while having fun and enjoying the wild beauty of Portugal.
Looking forward to meeting you!

We are a cross-cultural family group of all ages with diverse life, travel, and volunteer experiences; knowledge in permaculture, agroforestry, soil science, homesteading, eco-living, herbalism, French/world cooking, fermentation, animal husbandry, nutrition , meditation, etc.
The farm is part of a small traditional Portuguese village with a few older people still living the old way& another expat family we collaborate with who are also building up their project nextdoor.
We’re part of a vibrant international community of expats living in the region with many fun & diverse events happening regularly.
The farm also backs up to a vast mountain wilderness with pure rivers, hiking trails, and picturesque views.

Main focus this year (2025) is renovating the old stone house to be more ecological. Me and my partner Suzi do most of the work around the farm ourselves. I also work with local tradesmen for the more technical jobs like plumbing, electricity, etc.

Tasks are always varied and fair.
