Quinta das Abelhas

… in the time it takes to erect 3 sturdy retaining walls.

You catch me at an opertune moment, my last night at the Quinta das Abelhas residence. Celebrating the end of 4 joyus weeks spent with the company of Andy, Sophie, Alice, Connie, Max, Sid, Joney, Emily, Lauren, other wwoofers such as Rod, also John to name but a few.

Couldn’t be in a more gorgeous setting, beautiful views especially from the toilet, and water tank which provided a well needed cool refuge from the afternoon heat.

Great meals every day made from the freshest ingredients no complaints everybody pitches in. A great way to spend some time having a laugh and helping out some sound people.

Will come back soon.

Thanks for your generous hospitality.

George.

I am just getting ready to move on after 4 weeks spent at Quinta das Abelhas. In this time I’ve become really attached to the place and all the people I’ve got used to seeing everyday. Coming to work at Quinta das Abelhas is the chance to meet people, get to know a wonderful family, learn more about organic lifestyle and enjoy what is truly a beautiful place.

I’ve found my time to be really fulfilling, learning new skills and being part of a growing settlement which has taught me a lot about ethical living. I would like to say a big thankyou to Andy & Sophie for taking me in and showing great kindness. Same goes to all the kids and people who have made this such a fun place to be.

Needless to say I look forward to my return visit. So good luck to everyone who comes and visits this fantastic location and hope as many people as possible get to know the experience I have had. All the best in the future.

The wwoofers - and Stuart the builder - have been working (fuelled by copious amounts of tea) really hard building our new retaining wall. Very impressed with how quickly it is progressing. Well done lads!

a very well-deserved break from all the hard work the wwoofers have been doing.
