The Experience

Hi all! How wonderful that you’re looking for a place to volunteer. At our Quinta we just started a new life. We’re trying to develop a place where we can live off grid and regenerate this beautiful ground into a lush and spoiling environment. Would you like to help and learn? There’s lots to do: forestry, building eco accommodation, water sustainability, animal care, creating and maintaining a vegetable garden and probably a lot more!

I stayed here for almost a month, I loved it so much that I had extended my stay, I felt welcomed straight from the beginning, and I was treated very kindly, taking me with them on family activities like surfing or just going to wakeboard park, dinner from time ti time. If they had any “grand” plans, i I was alwayss invited. I really felt at home, at ease, the working hours were fare and well respected. Personally I felt that we clicked so therefore I even enjoyed it more :)
