The Experience

We are an operating farm. Mostly silviculture. We farm mostly trees. We are situated in one of the largest Cork Tree areas in the world.Mediterranean forest ecoystems are considered one of the most important ecosystems right after Virgin Forests. We also have lots of pine trees both for lumber and also for pine nuts. Cork and pine nut trees are a very sustainable resource as their lifespan is over 200 years and they produce cork and pine nuts .

I had a great time at the farm! The people were great and made me feel welcome right away. Rafael was great at organizing the group and making sure we had a great time, Mila's cooking was amazing, all the people there were calm, kind and generous. We had to work just 4 hours per day, so we had a lot of free time. The nature all around is also great, there is a beautiful lake on the premises, that is a great help on a hot summer day. I thank everybody at the farm for a great experience!

My week at the farm was incredible. I was made to feel very welcome from the moment I arrived. The atmosphere is amazing—you're really close to nature—the food is excellent, and the work is very relaxed and organized. We're always interacting with people. I can't thank everyone enough—especially Rafael and Antônio—and I highly recommend this experience to everyone.

Volunteering at the farm was an amazing experience. I got to work with a great team and met so many new and amazing people. I learned so much, experienced great things and had a lot of fun. The work was interesting and the work days short resulting in a lot of time that you could use for other things. The living area was great and had everything you needed, amazing food and the place in general is absolutely beautiful and had so much to offer. We were never bored and always had a lot of fun. It was a great experience at a great place with great people.

I had an amazing time here! The place is so beautiful and calming, since you work only 4 hours a day, you have plenty of time to spend at the pool, the lake or just relax in nature. The work was easy. The provided meals are very good. All in all I really enjoyed my stay and will miss it.
