    Descrição

    Hello travellers! We are a family living in the mountains in the Algarve. We have goats, dogs, cats and a horse. We moved here to surround ourselves in nature and give ourselves the opportunity to grow our own food, lead peaceful lives and let the children feel free in this amazing landscape.

    So far we have been working on the land, clearing and creating vegetable gardens. We are half way through replacing the roof on the house which we will eventually use half for our family home and half as a communial space.

    There is a river running on our land, which runs all year, and there are many tracks which lead you to discover hidden parts of this special place. Our water comes from our bore hole and we have some small springs which we are yet to put into action.

    Our place is a ten minutes drive away from the town where there are shops and cafes (they are open!!). There is a good community here, a mix of rustic locals and now more lovely people coming to chose to live here for the peace, air and water.

    We are flexible as to what work exchanges we create, it can be with or with out food and are mainly interested that it feels fair and supportive to all.

    I am Rachel, mum of two, age 3 and 11 and my partner is Dan. I worked in the past as a florist and graphic designer and love to work with my hands. Here I am learning more to work with willow and design the growing spaces we have here. Dan is a vinyl loving DJ who is handy and also loves to be outside.

    We are really open to ideas of families staying, aswell as any one who connects with us and the land here. We always have the feeling there is enough space here to share and there are areas around the forest and river where you can make your own camps to feel at home with your own space. :)

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    We hope to learn and inspire each other about moving towards living in ways where we can rely less on supermarkets and the big companies. We are happy to share what we have learned so far about our growing here and our building working with a rammed earth house, our experiences as parents and our ideas about family life.

    Ajuda

    We would like to honour the strengths and feelings of the volunteers as much as possible and have so many projects that hopefully there is something to suit everyones flow.

    Mainly the tasks will be gardening, helping with the house build, building wooden structures in the gardens, fencing, irrigation set up, looking after animals, and helping sometimes in the kitchen.

    We would like to create an area which just guests and volunteers can use with an outdoor kitchen, showers and loo. One of the first jobs of the volunteers could be to help design and build this using wood and cob.
