Couldn't have asked for a better first experience on a farm! :) I picked limes for the first half of my hours and pulled weeds out during the second half. Occasionally picking raspberries - depending on what's needed. Work hour timing is flexible, didn't work more than 5 hours daily, Ricardo explains and shows you step by step for every task, had my own room with plenty of space, laundry done for you, unlimited raspberries, meals provided too. 15-20 min walk from bus station, but I usually spent 10–15 euros to get an uber to go to the beach etc. There's also a bicycle. Would recommend! :)

Ricardo and his family were so welcoming and also very easy going. You would work from 9-3 and the days past quick as he would give you different tasks to do throughout the day which was great as I had very little experience. He showed me how to carry each task out and was very kind and patient with everything. He would also drop me at the beach for example after work or there was a spare bike I could use if I wanted to cycle places. This was my first experience on world packers and I'm very pleased choosing Ricardo's posting- thank you!

Loved this place! Ricardo and his mom are wonderful people, they always made sure I had everything I needed and gave me rides to beautiful places. It was funny and I'm glad I've learnt about raspberries and limes, the tasks are very simple and Ricardo it's always available to explain you everything. Thank you for everything I hope I can come back one day. Super recommended🫶

I enjoyed slowing down and experiencing rural Portugal at the farm, Ricardo and Nelia are very respectful + welcoming hosts. Our work consisted of preparing new plants, some weeding + occasional picking of fruit. I enjoyed going to the beach some afternoons but was often too tired from work and read by the pool instead. There were bikes at our disposal however the bike I was told to use was not in great shape. I highly recommend taking the bus to Loule and visiting their Saturday market! The 2 farm dogs are friendly but bark promptly at 7:30am.

I had a great time at the farm! I learned how to pick, weigh and pack raspberries and blackberries and got to experience the local life. Ricardo is kind, helpful and welcoming, and Nélia is sweet, caring and her cooking is amazing:), it was so nice to get to know them, their house and their farm! I also managed to visit cities, towns and beaches around Algarve
