The Experience

Volunteers help maintain the farm by making it more sustainable, productive, clean, and organized. They start the day by caring for the animals, then move on to the garden or structures that need attention, all while taking care of the space and interacting with the children and animals that live on the farm.

Filipa, Louis and Ino are very pleasant people, eager to listen to you, guide you and advise you. I spent a very pleasant time with them, I learned many new things and I value that they gave me the independence to contribute in my own way. I recommend this experience if you want to connect with nature, relate to animals and meet people from other countries. It is important to arrive with initiative, curiosity and a desire to serve and learn ✨✨
Thank you for everything 🫂☺️

Luis and Filipa are amazing people, very attentive and have always helped us throughout our experience, and the Quinta is a beautiful place that connects us even more with nature and gave us great memories, and I also highly recommend it for being a beautiful region.

I stayed with Filipa and Luis for two and a half weeks and I am happy I did this experience because I challenged myself and was able to improve my English; the hosts were very kind and available, they respected working and rest hours and explained clearly the various tasks to be carried out. Ino is a fantastic person, I am happy to have met him, I wish him all the best in life. I was sorry not to have been able to spend more time with the hosts and get to know them better, because unfortunately for half of my stay they were away; for more info write to me!!!
