Quinta Estrela do Sul

Looking for 1 volunteer around mid-February (for 3 weeks)

We have a small scale family farm of 8 hectares with various animals and we're happy to receive volunteers! We have a big vegetable garden with much diversity, an abundance of fruit trees, a vineyard and 250 olive trees. We produce our own olive oil. We have several animals (horses, a goat, chickens, dogs and cats, and soon bees and a sheep) - we do our best to make them happy!
We have a big space in the nature, and besides work you can relax and enjoy. There's a lot of space and many trails to hike around the land, and a small village with a cafe at a walking distance. Also 1-2 times a week we go to town and it's possible to join the trip if needed.
Our food is fresh, organic, homemade, exclusively vegetarian. Working with us is a great opportunity to have a daily physical activity, to learn about farming and acquire some new skills.
We open our availability from mid-April till the autumn, and we invite you to apply as soon as possible!
NB: we're not able to provide invitation letters or any other paper work to support an EU visa request; you will have to manage this on your own.

We welcome our guest volunteers as if they were members of our family. We cook and take our meals all together - we love to cook and we eat delicious vegetarian food. You will stay with us in our straw bale house, in a separate room or a big dormitory (a glamping tent is also available in summer, for those who prefer camping). You have access to a bathroom and shower inside the house, with compost/dry toilets. On weekends we may take you to do some visits around if time allows it! In summer we sometimes go to swim to a river beach or to the public swimming pool.
