The Experience
Join us in cultivating, harvesting, and maintaining an agricultural area where we are transforming monoculture into biodiversity using syntropic farming as our core technique, along with other agroecological concepts. We have been welcoming Erasmus students since 2022 and are now open to volunteers. If you will stay up to 3 weeks, expect a shared dorm with 4 beds =)

I very much enjoyed my time at the farm. Fernando is a wonderful host. If you have any problems, he will do his best to help. He doesn't live at the farm but commutes every day. If you want to learn more about trees and other plants, this will be an amazing opportunity for you. I was going to stay for a month but there was no way I was going to be able to learn all that I wanted to in that time. Thankfully Fernando had available rooms and I was able to stay for 4.

I had a great time at the farm! The work is fullfilling and sometimes tough in the heat but we always made sure to have a nice lunch break. Fernando and the other people I met during my stay are really nice and we got to attend a fun and interesting workshop one of the days. The facilities are very simple but it worked fine for me, all in all a very good experience!

Fernando is a very kind & receptive host. There is always work to do (weeding, pruning trees, planting, harvesting) so expect tiring work. But there is a lot of flexibility with how you work your hours which allows for plenty of rest! Working here with Fernando was very rewarding & I would recommend As for the location, you are in Setúbal 20 miles away from Lisbon, which is about a 2 hour train ride. The nearest bus stop is a 20 min walk from the farm. Getting a ride (uber, bolt) can be a bit of a hassle because the drivers struggle to get to the rural address. Plan accordingly! :)

Fernando was a great hosts is always aware of what his team wants. If you're looking for an experience that allows you to improve your experience in plants and the understanding of ecosistems this is the volunteering for you. The farm is also a great place to start learning new skills as a non agriculture person. The rhythm of work is really good as it can be agreed and be customised to your necesites and expectations. I think the project has a very valuable goal that inspires you to keep working towards it . :)))) Overall I really appreciate my time in this proyect, would recommend 100%☺️☺️

The farm was my first Worldpackers experience and I had such an amazing time! Fernando is a fantastic host who is always open to feedback, helps resolve any issues quickly, is so kind and has a wealth of knowledge about syntropic farming. The tasks to be done on the farm are numerous and diverse, and you can set your own work schedule. You can pretty easily and cheaply get to Lisbon or Setubal for weekend trips. I stayed 5 weeks, and would suggest a longer stay to understand why and how everything works. I learned so much and highly recommend this inspiring and beautiful project!
