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)

Thank you Steph and Fabien (and Gaston and Pascel) for such lovely people and hosts. Working and being with nature, learning about permaculture and syntropic methods was a treat. A comfortable learning experience in gorgeous landscape with welcoming people. The wholesome food and caravan stay were great too. I helped build a large greenhouse too! Thank you! (Fabien, you still owe me a beer! ;-)
