Program Details

Our small off-grid project near Almodôvar is focused on sustainable living, permaculture and community building. Volunteers help us grow food, care for animals and create simple eco-friendly structures. We work side by side, exchange skills and enjoy a relaxed, nature-based lifestyle in the beautiful Alentejo region.

Activities & Shift

Typical tasks include gardening, planting and harvesting, composting, building or repairing small structures, feeding and caring for chickens, and keeping communal areas tidy. We usually work 4–5 hours in the morning, Monday to Friday, with afternoons free to relax or explore. Tasks are varied and adjusted to your skills and interests.

Rules

We ask for respect toward nature, animals and people. Please keep communal areas clean, avoid excessive noise at night and communicate openly if you need anything. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas due to fire risk. We encourage a cooperative and positive atmosphere and welcome new ideas.
