Amazing time on the farm!! Got to pack raspberries, pick limes and blackberries, and explore the Algarve. Ricardo is an amazing host and treats you like a team member. Highly recommend if you want a chill place to volunteer!

This was my first volunteering experience abroad and second solo trip. For a first volunteer job this was a very good experience. The farm was bigger than I imagined. Tasks were easy enough and had variety so that's nice. Ricardo is kind, helpful and makes sure you understand the task. All of the family was welcoming. He is flexible with arrival and leaving dates. His mom's cooking is amazing! I learned about how farm works, about Portuguese culture and berries. Wifi doesn't work in the dorm. Bed could be comfier. Especially if someone want's to stay for a month and has back problems.

I had such a lovely experience! Ricardo and Nélia were very kind, flexible and accommodating. They made sure I had everything I needed at all times. Ricardo provided many recommendations of things to do and see in the algarve! The work was not challenging and very reasonable. It is very hot so be prepared and bring mosquito spray :) Nélia's cooking was exceptional and it will be missed! Great volunteer experience with so many beautiful beaches to explore after working and on your days off. Thank you so much Ricardo and Nélia!!

The work was not exhausting, living there was warm and welcoming! Transportation in that area is not good, but uber and bolt are cheap apps there. The only thing I found a bit uncomfortable was that the bathroom was inside the house, far from our room. I recommend this volunteering!

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.

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.

The host family were very kind and accommodating! You do work hard but it is rewarding. The only thing to be aware of is the location- it's very far from anything & the train station is about a mile away, this makes it difficult to do anything around working hours so make sure you plan to do lots on your days off! It was a good first volunteering experience, Thanks again!!💘
