The Experience

We believe in a simple life, learning and experiencing nature with an emphasis on permaculture while enjoying what life has to give such as music good food, and good company. The farm is located in the Penamacor district which is a beautiful area in central east Portugal about half an hour's drive from the Spanish border. There is a 5-minute drive off-road to get to the farm, so it's completely quiet and in a beautiful valley.

Our stay at Daniel and Leah's place was simply wonderful. We were welcomed with open arms and they were very accommodating. The work varied, was easy and daniel always gave an explanation in advance. While working we shared some nice conversations and afterwards had some time for ourselves. They also invited us to a pizza party where Leah made some very delicious pizza we got to try 🤌. Overall it was the perfect World packer experience for me and I'm very grateful to meet such lovely people.

We had an amazing time at Daniel's and Leah's project!! We lived in our own caravan next to the house, so we had privacy but also had nice moments with Daniel and his lovely family! 🍕😋🐈‍⬛ 🫒 They are very kind and cared a lot about our wellbeing. The work was fun (we mainly harvested olives) and Daniel was open and flexible about the working hours and the provided food that comes with it. It really were 2 perfect weeks for us, thank you so much!!

Me and my bf spent 3 weeks at Daniel and Leah's farm, and that was an amazing experience. We were looking for some quite time and we absolutely received it. The farm is beautiful and Daniel and Leah so considerate, respectful and generous! We had a really good time. The tasks were fun or easy to do most of the time.
