  Descrição

  We live here in the Castelo Branco region/ Central Portugal since 2020. Covid brought us here and we fell in love with the area. We bought a piece of land (4 ha) and want to live a simple self-sufficient lifestyle. It is a long way to get there but with time and help we will manage to do so some time.
  
  Us, that`s Michael originally from Israel, Nadine from Germany, our son Luan (3 years) and our daughter Alma (3 month).
  
  We`re passionate about gardening. We love food (cooking, baking, preserving) and creating a self-sufficient sustainable home.
  We would like to increase our organic food production this year what means we need help with preparing garden beds, planting and sowing.
  
  We mostly have building projects going on, doing handicrafts, yoga and playing games. (at the moment not so much because of the new baby)
  
  We enjoy the company of the greater likeminded community around us and also appreciate our peaceful safe heaven.
  
  We're living quite secluded but there is always something going on if you feel like hanging around with other people.
  
  Our projects vary from gardening over building to landscaping. We`re always open for new projects and ideas which enriches our life and the land. As we just started our off-grid homestead lifestyle we`re always interested in sharing experiences and learning new things.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  As we are a multicultural family there will be always a cultural exchange. We like to exchange experiences with you, sharing meals and having a nice time together.
  Due to the birth of our daughter 3 month ago the common meals will happen no that often as. Also most of the work you will do by yourself.
  
  You can experience a simple lifestyle in harmony with nature far away from the stressful city life.
