Biológicos do Juncal

Mise à jour mai 2025 :
Pendant cette période, nous nous concentrerons sur les jardins potagers et les abeilles.

Bienvenue et merci pour votre intérêt à venir et à rejoindre ce projet agricole que nous avons commencé et rêvé il y a quelques années.
Nous travaillons à relier le rêve à la réalité, en maintenant nos idéaux et nos objectifs, ce qui s'est avéré être un vrai défi.
L'objectif du projet est de produire des produits agricoles de bonne qualité pour la communauté locale. La région de Bragança.
Une bonne qualité signifie biologique, pas de poisons dans le produit, pas de poisons dans le sol et l'eau, une attitude écologique envers notre environnement. C'est ce que nous voulons accomplir.
À l'heure actuelle, nous sommes bien meilleurs agriculteurs qu'avant et nous comprenons mieux comment les choses fonctionnent. Nous avons surtout appris en faisant et en observant. Mais le projet est encore dans une phase initiale. Nous essayons encore de gérer toutes les tâches diverses que nous avons proposées, qui sont nombreuses.
Votre aide est la bienvenue et c'est un plaisir pour nous de partager ce projet avec tous ceux qui se reconnaissent dans cette idée ou qui veulent l'essayer, y contribuer et en faire partie.
MISE À JOUR : en ce moment, nous n'avons pas beaucoup de temps libre pour la ferme. Veuillez vous attendre à pouvoir être souvent seul. En même temps, nous ne serons pas très exigeants. Faites ce que vous pouvez.

LE LIEU
Nous vivons à Bragança et la ferme se situe à 5 km au nord, dans un village appelé Oleirinhos.

PHILOSOPHIE
Voici un document que nous avons essayé de créer pour que vous puissiez en savoir un peu plus sur l'esprit et quelques informations sur le fonctionnement. Bien sûr, ce document peut être modifié et discuté.

NOS COORDONNÉES
Le premier contact doit se faire via la plateforme. Ensuite, nous pouvons échanger des contacts directs afin de discuter plus facilement et clarifier tout doute.

We started this adventure because we love nature and decided to leave our big city life to live more close to the land. We both had memories of living in the countryside of spending our vacation with our grandparents.
The farm is very diverse and we know a bit on all the production we do. We are happy to share our knowledge and ideas. We are doing this because we are passionate with agriculture, nature and a more simple way of living.
Expect we will try to make your stay a pleasant one, considering our farm living possibilities.

Bad things to expect (confession):
We are not organized. Since we have so many things to do, a lot of times we decide things late and we still don't know how to organize.
We are imprisoned to a funding situation (we are in a phase of investment and still paying the project instead of returning money from it) . This means sometimes we cannot decide what to do and have to do what the project demands. We hope to leave this situation soon because it is a bit heavy emotionally and it causes stress sometimes.
We have family work/issues outside the farm. It means it will happen that we say we take half an hour and we’ll take 2 hours or miss our arranged schedule. Hope your understanding on that and we’ll try to define stuff so you are not depending on our failures and can manage without us.
We tend to want to do more than we can and that is maybe the cause of being unorganized. The same way we plan to show you everything but at the end .. sometimes we can :)

Food
We are vegetarians and when we eat together the food should be vegetarian or vegan if there are people with vegan diet with us. At the house the group should decide what kind of diet they want and each one is free to follow their diet.
We will try to provide all the ingredients so you can have a diverse, rich, healthy diet. At the same time we'll try to follow a self sufficient way of eating so we should promote the consumption of the product we produce in the farm as much as possible.
The things we provide are dependent on people requests and we will try to deliver your requests. We will try to make you happy with the food provided but don’t expect luxury.

Food Comments
You make a shopping list once a week and anything else needed you can also ask but expect we can take it to you 1 or 2 days later.
We can and should use all the things at the farm. There is a lot of wastes in farming so we should give priority to the things that are not sellable and in perfectly good conditions.

Accomodation
There are two options: Either you camp in the fields or live in the house we have in the village.

The House - Oleirinhos
The farm is 5 minutes walk to/from the house.
The kitchen is basically equipped and there's a laundry washing machine.
4 bedrooms, a living-room/extra bedroom, 1 balcony, 1 dinning-room used as a workspace, one open space with a stone hoven.
This house belongs to our family and we borrowed it so we could receive people. We want this stay to be part of the experience and we all should promote the house as a confortable space for the people that pass and also a place where we can get together and share ideas, conversations, etc. It could be a project of its own because its a big space we are still trying to figure out how to use it. Hope you can help.

The region
We will try to organize sightseeing together so you can get to know the northeast corner of Portugal.
At the same time, there will be information at the house so you can have your free time and bike, walk or drive into the most beautiful parts of this region.

Internal organization:
- We use a whatsapp group to communicate ( jokes, general info, schedule details, farm info,... anything)
- The shopping list should be sent to the whtssapp group
- We should define a common schedule every week and warn in advance to the whatsapp group if you need a modification

Other informations:
We provide you bicycles so you can use as transport to the city or to go enjoy the scenary.
We have internet at the house but its limited in downloads. Use it responsibly.
There is a BUS that passes 3 times a day near the house and goes to the city and the villages nearby.
