Descrição
*Before you continue, we have a 4 week minimum stay*
Hi I'm Nathaniel. My girlfriend Diana and I live on this little farm which has a very lucky location, with breath taking views to the highest Algarvian mountains, close to the beautiful beach of Amoreira and river but also close to the historic town of Aljezur.
This this project started some years ago and we are still in the process of restoring the house, maintaining a vegetable garden, fruiting forest and small eco rental accommodation (to help fund the project). The long term goal here is to try to restore the native woodlands, improve soil quality and create a diverse ecosystem that will provide food. We are passionate about nature, both in helping it and enjoying it.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We're no experts but always aim to share the knowledge and experience we have acquired.
I can teach English, a little Portuguese and Spanish and more fun skills like surfing, Skating (longboards) and Aikido (self defence) when I have spare energy.
Ajuda
The chores here are varied. There is plenty of help needed around the house, the vegetable gardens, forestry, maintenance and, occasionally, construction and landscaping.
Tasks could include:-
-Weeding and clearing land
-Chopping and gathering firewood
-Shredding leaves/branches in the machine.
-Cleaning & household maintenance.
-Planting/harvesting vegetables and baby trees.
-Assisting with carpentry projects
-Painting and decorating
-Landscaping
-Building traditional stone walls
We are always interested in people with skills in building, gardening, carpentry, engineering and agriculture. Don't worry, even if you feel that you don't necessarily excel in the above skills but are a very practical responsible person, we can teach and you can be of great help.
Our usual routine is 3 days per week so we can have more free time. We usually meet for a quick chat at 08:30 and then work for 4 hours. (Starting times can vary throughout the year as seasons change to avoid being too cold/hot.
To maintain a hygienic and pleasant space for everyone you're expected to clean after yourself and take turns emptying the compost toilet etc. Please be aware that there is no smoking allowed on the farm.
Personally we try to eat a healthy mostly a plant based diet from food grown either on site or by other local farmers. because volunteers are only asked to help 12.5 hours you will need to buy and prepare your own food unless joining for the occasional group meal at the house.
Once per week we aim to have an optional big communal lunch together. We ask for 3€ to cover ingredients if people want to join.
If someone loves to cook, they can trade in an hour of farm work to help prepare the meal (and clean after). We provide all the ingredients and the use of the house kitchen + many herbs & spices.

I'm a polyglot and love learning bits from every language. I'm collecting ways to say "thank you". I can remember 25 on a good day. :)
Acomodação
We will endeavour to make peoples stay as pleasant as possible with an efficient solar powered hot shower, clean and tidy compost toilet, a dedicated 6mx3m kitchen/lounge in the woods, all gas, water, electric and internet are provided and there's a tranquil environment to relax in after helping.
You will need a sleeping bag/pillow, good strong working boots, BIODEGRADABLE SHAMPOO/SOAPS, clothes you don't mind being dirty or breaking and maybe a torch for finding the toilet in the night. Between October and April you may need a rain coat just in case. No shoes to be worn inside.
Our humble accommodation is in our woodland with a shared kitchen/lounge hut. It can vary from a bed in the shared volunteer caravan, a small personal caravan or a tent. We have 2 hard standing spaces for camper vans.
We provide a couple of bicycles for our volunteers (to be kept clean and stored at night) and we sometimes take people on trips for fun activities or to explore local beaches and markets if people feel like joining us.
Algo mais...
We are in the heart of the Vicentina national park. The town of Aljezur is only 15 minutes by bicycle (30 walking) and the beach around 20 minutes.
The old town of Aljezur and castle are magnificent and there are many little cafes.
In your time off, if your budget allows, we can help you arrange other activities like horse riding, paddle boarding excursions, yoga classes etc.

Nathaniel and Diana offer an amazing workaway-experience! You will participate in a project to make not only your life and theirs nicer but also get the opportunity to give back to the land and nature in a really meaningful way. All the while you are surrounded by people who are genuinely kind and gentle and will really make you feel at home :).

Cris is a great guy, happy, positive and inteligent. He was happy to get stuck into even the most dirty jobs on the farm. He helped a lot with building paths and creating a new compost bin from pallets. I think any place would be happy to have his help. He stayed with us in 2020 so by now he's probably gained even more skills.

I stayed with Nathaniel for 4 and a half month and besides being very busy after homecoming the reason this review is coming 2 months after leaving is that there is so much to say, and I wanted to do Nathaniel justice.

When we describe some people as "being away with the fairies" perhaps we think of someone who just floats about? Theodora has been away with the fairies, saved them, been hailed as their new queen and has returned to us mortals to spread her happy and surreal sense of humour. She's a very capable woman who can pick up almost any job very easily.… read more

What a great spot! Nathaniel's place was our first Workaway experience and was everything we were hoping it would be. The work Nathaniel asked us to do was varied and fair - we did some weeding, moved some rocks, harvested bamboo cane (using machetes!!!), did some cooking and helped construct some shady structures for some young pine trees.

Lisa and Nicolas were both lovely people and hard workers. Nicolas was especially surprising considering his age he has a great deal of general practical skills from his work experience in Chile. I would recommend them to anyone looking for practical help with a project. Best wishes to both of you from Aljezur! x

Gemma was "RAD"! She is a really positive and open person who was willing to take on any task asked of her, even hauling rocks. A great sense of humour and a pragmatic thinker who got on well with everyone in the group. My only regret is that we never got around to skating, Aikido or climbing trees. Maybe next time.
