My stay at the farm De the farm was a very cool experience. Veronique and Tom have great knowledge on farming and working with animals, and I learned a lot working alongside them. I had lots of time to rest after working each day and there were plenty of lovely walks around their place, as well as Evoramonte quite nearby which has some restaurants and cafes. They also provided me with lots of nutritious food and we would eat meals together. I enjoyed my time here. Veronique and Tom are good people.

MdR is a great place to learn. There is a lot of work to do, and you'll be able to pick depending on your interests. Felt very comfortable and taken care of by hosts Veronique and Tom, a very kind and patient couple with inspiring lives. Tom's cooking is exquisite!, and Vero gives the best advice. Not normatively touristic- the closest city is Evora, which you won't be able to visit on weekends, but you can walk to Evoramonte - a lot of fun condensed into a roughly thirty-minute walk - and enjoy other activities in nature, just ask! Will miss you both! Thank you very much for everything.

I myself had a lovely experience at the farm and I enjoyed most of it. I felt very welcomed and the hosts are very flexible. However the only downside was that the girl I was there with was sick and so the whole situation between the hosts and her got a bit complicated. I would recommend this experience but it would be good to know beforehand that the room you will be sleeping is more or less as cold as outside, so if this doesn't align with you then I would recommend you to reconsider. It's a great way to connect with nature, learn about culture and it's also very educational.

I had an amazing time at the farm! The work I did was very diverse from taking care of the animals over creating artwork to building cages I loved every part of it. I felt welcomed from my arrival and enjoyed the often long discussions with Veronique, I felt like she was really interested to get to know me as a person and it feels like family. I felt like my work was appreciated and we spent a lot of time together, I was taken on multiple trips and got to meet many people. They were really accommodating, respectful and interested. All in all a great experience and a trip I will rem
