THE QUINTA (SMALLHOLDING)
2.7 hectares of mostly terraced, organic land on a south-facing slope overlooking the valley and two mountain ranges.
We have two main gardens on the quinta – one overseen by Andy and one by Sophie. Here we grow as much of our own food as possible, enjoying fresh-picked fruit and vegetables in the summer, and preserving and storing for winter. We also have fruit, nut & citrus trees, grape vines (for juice and wine) and olive trees (for eating and oil).
There are 3 small areas of hillside woodland (pine, mimosa, oak) which supply some of our firewood and building timber.
We have horses, ducks and chickens, dogs and cats on the quinta, plus a variety of wildlife - salamanders, frogs, hoopoes, woodpeckers, owls, foxes, black kites & more!
10 mins walk to the village, with bars, shop, and restaurant, and 15-20 mins walk to the river Mondego for swimming and fishing.
Volunteers and short-term community members welcome year-round. We are also open to the possibility of more long-term / permanent community members. | Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses) |
