I really enjoyed my time at the farm. It is perfect to get in touch with nature and learn some things about farming. The work was easy and everything was explained well. Ricardo was flexible with working hours and days off. Ricardo and Nelia were very both really welcoming. They had many recommendations about what to do, gave me a ride and Nelia made delicious food. Thanks for this lovely experience!

This was my first volunteering experience and I had a great time. Ricardo and Nelia are kind, hardworking people. It was really interesting to work on the farm and learn about it from Ricardo, who is also flexible with which days you work. Nelia provided great food every day and was caring, making sure we had everything we needed. They gave helpful recommendations of places to visit and even drove of to a couple of places. There are also plenty of Ubers available to visit beaches, hiking trails, and nearby towns. Boliqueime is a nice small town and you can feel connected to nature on the farm.

Well, I guess it will say it all, that I already want to come back… Thank you Ricardo and Nelia a thousand times for everything. Work is super fun and flexible times. The room is cozy. Food a 100/10. Great tips on places and parties from the hosts. See you again!

This experience was amazing from the start. The farm is located near a lot of fun activities but it's also very peaceful place to be. Close enough to the beaches as well which I enjoyed. Ricardo and Nélia were very helpful in sharing places to visit as well as making sure I was fed. The job is very easy, mostly weighed berries and picked out the bad fruit. Sometimes I would help prune the berry bushes. I really enjoyed my time here, gave me a chance to relax and enjoy the Portuguese style of life. I worked but mostly played.

Shared a spacious room with another volunteer, but cleanliness was lacking and the door couldn't be locked, raising safety concerns. Volunteers don't get a gate remote and must rely on others or use unsafe gaps to enter/exit. Around 10–15 men work on-site, and 8–10 live in shared housing. Cultural exchange is limited—volunteers eat separately and have different meals. There's a clear division between hosts and volunteers. Ricardo and Nélia are friendly, and Ricardo gives great local tips.

I had a good time staying here. Nelia was an amazing and hospitable host, it was nice to talk with her. The work is good and very much how we communicated before. It was clear what was expected from me and it was nice to have free time in the afternoons.

This is my first volunteering experience. Apart from initial miscommunication, everything else was good. I appreciated Nelia's cooking and kindness :) I appreciated that after talking to both Ricardo and Nelia about some issues, everything was dealt with. Thank you also for including tofu and oat milk, as I am lactose intolerant and do not eat meat. A really nice family, nice people:)

It was a very good experience! The work was peaceful, the people on the farm are also calm and respectful, the space is very nice and the meals were very good too. I enjoyed learning a little more about the sustainable cultivation of blackberries and raspberries and connecting with nature, seeing life happening in every possible way. The only point is that the internet isn't very good, and there are a lot of mosquitoes but I was already expecting that kind of thing as it's a farm and it didn't affect the experience at all.

This was my first WorldPackers experience and I could not have asked for better hosts. Nelia picked me up at the station when I arrived and was kind enough to drop me off when i left early on a Saturday. Ricardo is very respectful of work hours, and flexible if you want time to see the sights. He gives great recommendations. The work is explained to you and there is no confusion about your responsibilities. It is not heavy work. I cannot say enough good graces about the generosity of Ricardo and his family, very kind people. I had a great experience & hope to come back! P. S. bring bug spray!
