Detalhes
Descrição
We are Emily (31), James (32) and our daughter Delma who is 3 years old
We live in a valley 20 minutes from Monchique, completely surrounded by nature with our dog Patti, 2 kittens and chickens on a 1.8 hectare plot of mountain land.
We would love some help making a fence around the veggie garden, improving the veggie garden, feeding the chickens, planting trees, clearing and pruning, harvesting and storing fire wood for winter. The main emphasis at the moment is preparing for the fire season; thinning out and clearing trees along the river and strimming the land.
I (Emily) am a Reiki and Massage therapist and I usually have weekly clients. James is a carpenter and is now home after a long summer of work. We'll work together on projects and sometimes you may be working alone
We are a friendly couple and have really enjoyed spending time with volunteers in the past and look forward to making more memories.
We also love time to ourselves and respect this need in volunteers too.
It's a very quiet and peaceful valley. A vehicle is essential to get to town.

Learn to live in harmony with nature and embrace the beauty of a simple life.
