Quinta Sta Catarina

People say about us that we are really welcoming persons and that we love to share our energy and motivation about living a simple and integrated life. We work on the land since two years, so its the really begining of the regenerative project, so perspectives of evolution are huge ;-)

We are a family of 3 members, Steph, 39 years old, Fabien, 37 years old, and Gaston, 4 years old, we have a dog called Pastel, 5y, really kind.
We left Belgium and our nice community because we had a crush for this zone... not everything can be explained by words. We love the energy of the region, and because our main objective in life is being more autonomus and resilient, we found here an informal community functionning with these natural purposes, nevermind if people are from here or moved to here for that feeling of peace, resilience, alternative living. Also we're so happy we found here a great forestschool for our son.

After having been marketproducers in Belgium for some years, we wanted here to go to next step of providing resilience non as a 'takeaway' service (selling organic vegetables), but by providing plants and trees to develop proper resilience, so we are starting a new project of plants and trees nursery (medicinal, regeneration, fruittrees )

Steph and Fabian are amazing people and welcomed us into their home with great hospitality. The work was so interesting and I feel like I learned a lot. If we had any questions or needed clarification, we never hesitated to ask. Hours were clearly established and the food was amazing and overall we just had a great experience!

I had an amazing time here. Fabian and Steph are wonderful people and their son Gaston is very silly. They have two sweet dogs who love attention.

We had delicious lunches together and were provided ingredients for breakfast and dinner. Work hours were exactly as agreed and tasks were different every day, but consisted mostly of weeding, planting, and helping with their nursery. We learned so much about natural processes and I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

I recommend this opportunity to anyone who likes getting their hands dirty!

The days I spent with Steph and her family (Fabien and Gaston) were very special. I always felt welcome; they were constantly concerned with making sure I was comfortable and well fed.
The routine was smooth, and they were very flexible with the 5 hours of work per day, which were usually in the morning and, at times, a bit in the afternoon.
I had great conversations with Steph and Fabien, which made me think a lot about my life, and I am very grateful for that.
The region is beautiful and has an incredible energy!

Absolutely incredible in every aspect! Steph and Fabien were always extremely kind and helpful, providing all the necessary support. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the agricultural world and the importance of wildlife conservation. Without a doubt, I will be back!
