The Experience

What we want to share is an immersion into 'campesinos life', hands in the ground, close to nature, adapting the rythm to the season, simple life, and also our reflexions and actions for regenerative agroforestry (we start to follow syntropic principles and are working with the notion of preservation of a living soil, adapting to our dry and extreme conditions here in Serra Sao Mamede)

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!
