My name is Nídia and I live in the south of Portugal, on an eco-friendly farm with several animals (horses, a donkey, dogs, cats, pigs and two geese). The farm is located 2 km from the beach and 2 km from Vila do Bispo. I need help with the daily care of the animals and the facilities, as well as small projects to improve living conditions on the farm. Volunteers must enjoy a simple and natural life, among the animals and in respect for nature.

I was in a seperate cabin accommodation with my own kitchen and shower, all the facilities on the property worked well. The work was rudimentary involving cleaning and gardening. The work was reasonable for me, at times I didn't know how much was expected of me and this led to some communication breakdowns

My boyfriend and I stayed with Nidia for about three weeks, and it was the best travel experience we could have wished for. We felt deeply connected to nature and quickly built a strong bond with the animals. After only a few days, the farm already felt like a new home. It has such a calm and loving atmosphere, but it's never boring because there are always animals around. Our time with Nidia taught us to appreciate a much simpler way of living and helped us reconnect with nature. Since there is no electricity or running water, you should be comfortable with living a very simple life.

I was lucky enough to be with Nidia for almost a month for me it was an honour to enter her life. I helped her with the painting of the house and cleaning the stable and with some simple tasks with the animals. I had the opportunity to live in a more sustainable way and this opened up many thoughts for me. Let's say that everything has opened up so many thoughts for me.
I loved the time spent with her animals who are happy animals. I visited the surroundings and the area is wonderful. I leave with new people and new animals in my heart

Me and my friend stayed for about 2.5 weeks at the farm with Nìdia. We worked 6 days a week (normally 3.5-4 hours) and the work mostly consisted of paint jobs and cleaning the stables. Pros of this place: - beautiful nature, beach, a calm place - cute animals - nice cabin - Nìdia gives very valuable advice and can teach you a lot about sustainability cons: - no bicycles, we had to walk almost everywhere - even though we mostly got along well with Nìdia, sometimes we felt a lack of communication - no drinkable tap-water at the farm, water in general is very limited Be prepared and enjoy:)
