Descrição
João and I (Maria) have been living here since 2017. After living many years in a small town near Lisbon, we decided to follow our dream to live in a farm in Alentejo. As soon as João retired, we bought a farm and moved here to be busy and live our dream.
Our farm is a little piece of paradise on top of a hill overlooking a tributary of the Guadiana river and the typical Alentejo plains. It is a 2 hectares property with olive trees, a small vineyard, fruit trees and a vegetable garden for our consumption. We are also volunteers at a childcare home and we deliver many of our products there.
Our house is off the grid and self sustained, with solar energy powering electricity and a well sourcing water to the entire property.

We love animals and nature. We have dogs, cats, 1 poney, 1 horse, sheep, chickens. All animals are roaming free all day, weather permiting.

We compost the manure of our chicken, horse, poney and sheep which we use to fertilize the land. Also we have a composite to make earthworm húmus.
We are used to receiving people. Friends, friends of friends who sometimes come to help us or spend a few days with us. We love to interact with people, exchanging stories and experiences.

There aren't many transports here. Therefore, it will be necessary to travel by car. If you don't have it, we can take you to the bus station.
Due to the high number of people who contact me offering to come, but then stop responding, cancel last-minute, or fail to confirm arrival details (e.g., pickup times), I will now report such cases to the Workaway team. This is to ensure mutual respect and reliability in the Workaway community. Please only reach out if you’re genuinely committed and able to follow through on your plans. Thank you for understanding!

From the very first moment we met, I felt an instant connection with Maria, who greeted me with a big smile. I joked that, knowing how famous her cooking was, I was about to start a three-Michelin-star experience. Turns out, it wasn’t a joke at all... it was actually true!
