Help Build a Sustainable Farm in the Heart of Portugal

The experience

This is really an unique opportunity. We bought a farm of 38ha in the middle of Portugal and it is virgin land. So we want to create a plastic free as can be and farm the land. Olives, grapes, berries, you name it. The ancient Keltic walls need restoring and tell a story. We are cutting down the eucalypsis and make we for the cork oak. A yoga platfrom over the valley and the pond needs clearing. The energy of the terrain is fantastic. Come join!
