Program Details
Quinta Antes o Vento is a regenerative project in Portugal where volunteers are welcome to live simply, connect with nature, and support daily farm life. We grow food using permaculture principles, care for animals, and create a lifestyle rooted in sustainability and community.
As a volunteer, you’ll take part in activities such as gardening, cooking, cleaning, and general maintenance, while learning hands-on skills in ecological living. Life here follows the rhythm of the land, offering a balance between teamwork and personal time.
If you’re looking for a meaningful experience where you can contribute, learn, and be inspired by a regenerative way of life, we’d be happy to welcome you to our Quinta.
Activities & Shift
Volunteers can support us in different areas of daily farm life, depending on the season and project needs. Typical activities include:

Shifts are usually 4–5 hours per day, 5 days a week, with 2 days off to rest, enjoy nature, or explore the region. We value teamwork, but also give space for volunteers to enjoy quiet time and connect with the land.
