Welcome to Casas Novas de Palmeiras

Hello to all your wwoofers!!!
We are a young family (born 1977/78). Our girl is from 2005 and our little boy from 2008. We live in a very beautyful and green region of the south Alentejo. (The Algarve is only 2 km away from us) Close to the Monchique Mountains. Our region is as well a bit hilly and therefor we have the most beautyful sunrises and sunsets above the ocean.
We are living in Portugal already since 2002 but reseattled meanwhile to our new farm where we are living now. (fall of 2009). Almost 9 hektares of beautyful wild land wants to be turned into a big secret garden full of flowers and fruit trees. We need lots of enthusiastic and creative hands and heads to make this new dream come true. Lot´s of different things have to be done and I am sure there is something you can and like to do. Gardening, planting, taking care of animals, building chelters and stables as well as fences. We have a little ribeira which wants to be discovered as well as the minas and well water mines.
We are happy and thankful for any help. We love to have people around us to enjoy and share the beauty of life.
Besides the farming and being mother my passion are the horses. My boyfriend finds his heart in the wild of the ocean, he is a surfer and therefor there will be for sure enough opportunity for you to go with him and enjoy our fantasitc beaches.
Depending of the time of the year we also cook our fruits and vegetables in. Hopefully my oven is ready soon and we can bake some jummy bread again.
If you have any questions just go ahead ......
We are looking forward hearing from you....until than enjoy life....
Lots of greetings from Esta, Nils, Joelle and Keanu
