For me was amazing, learn teory and practice about agroflorest practices. Fernando is an amazing teacher, a great story teller, and good friend to have in life. As a host he is always open to talk about what need to be improved about the house conditions, the bedrooms are containairs with good conditions and the kitchen has everything we need, and he provide us food as we ask, from the supermarket availability every once in week. We had amazing lunchs together and work some days as a team achiving an especific goal for the day and a lot of self-management work tasks, I want to come back for

My stay at the farm was awesome. Fernando is a great host, he has great knowledge and experience about permacultural farm and agro-foresty and he is so patient. You can ask the same thing and he will show you again. Rooms and kitchen was good too(just know that toilet is a dry toilet). Only problem is that it can be a bit boring and hard if you don't like being alone(max 3 other volenteers). Because there are nothing near to the farm and nearest big city is Setubal(you need to take a bus or ride a bike for a long time). Except for that farm is chill and I liked the experience.

Our experience with Fernando at the farm was incredible. Fernando is passionate about plants, nature and farming . He is very patient when it comes to teaching and explaining the processes, and his farm is a great learning experience. There wans't enough time to continue learning, but it's definitely a place we recommend.

I had a wonderful experience, I learnt a lot and also gained a whole new perspective on conventional agriculture and alternatives to it. It was my first project and I don't think it could have been better for me. The work was sometimes challenging but manageable and because I was not doing it alone often quite fun, the atmosphere was very chilled and I met some really great people. An experience that I will definitely remember!

You'll learn a lot about plants and how to take care of them. It can be a bit tiring at first, but the tasks vary depending on what's needed to keep the plants healthy and nourish the soil. Fernando, the host, is very kind, so if you have any questions, feel completely comfortable talking to him.

Our experience with Fernando was fantastic! We had the pleasure of spending time in a peaceful and beautiful environment, surrounded by nature and engaging in the inspiring work of syntropy. The project itself holds great potential, and it was wonderful to contribute to something so meaningful. Fernando was very welcoming and understanding of my background as a programmer, and he was flexible with my need to balance volunteer hours with remote work commitments. We felt truly valued and connected to the project, and we're grateful for the opportunity!

Fernando has so much knowledge to share and it great since we wanted to learn a lot but I feel we could put more effort to communication can made the experience even better. The work can be tough, especially if you're not used to manual labor, but with good company and some music, the time flies, and it feels like we're all part of a big family. The accommodations could be a bit more comfortable, especially the shower, but I get that it's a new project and Fernando its always open to changes so if you have any complain he is will fix right away. I will miss here.

I truly enjoyed my time at the farm! Fernando is such a warm and welcoming person. He always made sure everyone was comfortable and taught us so much about agroecology. Sometimes the work could be a bit challenging but it always felt rewarding in the end :)

I was at Fernandos with a friend and we both would definitely recommend staying there! Fernando is a nice host and it was very important to him that we felt comfortable (wich we did). Felt very familiar to stay there and the work was hard but very divers and he was flexible about it :))
