I had a great experience at the farm! The work was exactly as expected, Ricardo answered any questions I had about the farm and everyone was very kind during the entire experience. I highly recommend this opportunity, but I do want to make one note completely unrelated to the work experience, but I feel may be helpful for others to know—there are dogs that bark at night and may be disruptive to light sleepers. Overall, incredible experience!!

This was a great experience for a first time worldpacker like myself. For those seeking to be with nature and wishing to be in a tranquil peaceful environment - this is the place for you. Here I experienced real farm life and learned a lot about the various fruit plants cultivated in the farm.

I really enjoyed my time on the farm! Ricardo and the team are lovely and I connected with his mom Nelia. I loved getting down and dirty with the tasks - we pruned the raspberry bushes, planted new plants, prepared the boxes with soil and even helped construct the watering system. As mentioned on other reviews - it's a little inland and getting around isn't always easy but nothing Uber and a lift here or there can't solve. The train station is a 25 minute walk away and you can go to most of the main towns from there. Thank you Ricardo, Nelia and Fernando!

I spent almost 4 weeks at the farm and overall I had a good time there. Ricardo and his family have been very nice and welcoming and the location offers the opportunity to spend some time immersed in nature and tranquility. Plus, they've been very flexible with my days off, so during my stay I was able to visit all the Algarve. The work can be a bit tiring at times, but it's never difficult and the working times were respected.
