The Experience

We are Pedro and Nádia that started this agriculture project in 2012 when we returned to Pedro's birth town (Bragança) and wanted to revive the abandoned family lands. Our family grew last years and we have with us Afonso (born in 2013) and Gaspar (born in 2016) that love farming.. some days. We have several interests and the farm is very diverse: - Bees, polinization and honey - Condiment herbs - Mushrooms - small and wild fruits - Vegetables..

I really liked working there. The farm is so big and there is another long term volunteer living there, who is a really nice guy and an amazing cook. You have a big house for yourself and a cozy fireplace in the kitchen. In the winter it's a bit cold there, so bring warm clothes, but outside it's still really nice. Also the host and his wife are such nice people, who motivate you and help you sometimes. I can recommend working there on this project.

I was supposed to stay for 3 weeks, but i was only there for 3 days.. If you don't mind living in cold and dirty house with old men, and doing hard work during the days, this might be for you. I think the vibes of the host was not the best, unfortunately. He was nice to me, but to some people he spoke kind of rudely. This experience made me really appreciate my life and living circumstances at home though.😊 Also this is good place to save money because they provide the food, and there is not anything around you could accidentally spend your money on.

It wa great to meet Pedro and to work on the farm with the other volunteers. We did a variety of tasks on the farm and enjoyed each others company in the farm house. The tasks were varied and were communicated to us via WhatsApp from Pedro. Pedro provided us with food supplies and we did a mix of meals together in the house. Unfortunately due to Pedro's other commitments he was not at the farm too often but there were always tasks to do and he did drop in and work with us sometimes.

I had a great time at the farm! Pedro and Nadia are very warmhearted hosts. I learned a lot about farming and there was a variety of different tasks that I was able to do. If you are looking for a peaceful, remote place in nature this is perfect. Also if you can be flexible and spontaneous when it comes to tasks and the times of work. For that it is good when you are able to self-organize, also because the hosts are not at the farm every day. For me the volunteer`s house was okay and I could make myself comfortable. But it is old and it can get really cold, just to keep that in mind.
