Jack or Jill of all trades, in Portugal!

The experience

I have an off-grid farm where I breed kune kune pigs and dorper sheep. As an older woman, I struggle to manage on my own and rely on volunteers to help with some of the projects. I am a great cook so you will eat well, and I am an English teacher so can help you to learn the English language.
I need help with maintaining fences, building animal shelters, and completing various building projects like a barn, rebuilding a ruin with cordwood.
