La experiencia

Volunteers have the chance to be part of building a thriving agricultural project from the ground up! While helping care for and harvest vegetables, you’ll also assist in creating essential structures like greenhouses, barns, and processing areas. Along the way, you’ll gain hands-on experience with the cycles of farm life and learn how to optimize irrigation and other key aspects of a successful agricultural operation. 🌱🏡💧

Programa detallado

We are a family from Germany: Johanna, 31, an agricultural expert, Ferdinand, 29, a farmer, and our children. Since February 2024, we have been living in Portugal and managing our 30 hectares of land, of which 3 hectares are olive trees, 5 hectares are agricultural fields, and we also have our own rocky mountain, which in many parts is still overgrown with gorse and blackberries, but also offers fertile valleys with grazing land.
We produce olive oil and sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Our farm is transitioning to organic farming, meaning we use only organic seeds and do not use chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We have three cats, some chickens for our own consumption, and a growing flock of Bordaleira sheep (currently only 15).
Our farm is to become a diverse farm, where we research and apply climate-resilient farming practices. Additionally, we will offer social programs for schools and kindergartens, as well as family leisure activities.
Since the farm is still under development, the main focus is on preparing larger projects and caring for the land.

Actividades & Turnos

The focus of the work will be decided together with the volunteers
The main focus will be on caring for the tomatoes and keeping the areas free of blackberries and gorse.

The volunteers will be accommodated in a converted caravan. Over time, a guesthouse will also be built. Lunch will be taken together as a group. Breakfast and dinner will not always be shared, but the volunteers will have their own kitchen and access to food.

A volunteers day starts, depending on the season, either early in the morning or a bit later. In the summer, the work should be completed before 12 PM, while in the winter, the working hours may vary depending on the weather. In principle, the volunteers working hours will mostly be in the morning for about 5 hours. After lunch, the volunteers can explore the area or rest.
