SPECIAL PROJECT:
Calling in people who want to help build a future rooted in nature.
At No Meio Do Nada, we are creating a place to slow down, reconnect and build something meaningful together.
A place where people and nature support each other, where learning happens through doing, and where simple living becomes a source of richness.
We are looking for people who would like to spend some time living and working on the land, helping us lay the foundations for a long-term, regenerative place.
This is not about perfection or hard productivity it is about presence, commitment and shared intention.
🌱 What we are creating together
An abundant vegetable garden, grown with care for the soil and local ecosystem
A natural spring and water system, where water can be stored, shared and used to nourish the land
A garden kitchen, where we process, preserve and prepare food directly from the land
Communal spaces where learning, rest and connection can naturally take place
Everything we build is meant to serve both people and the landscape, now and in the future.
🤲 What you will receive
Accommodation and nourishing meals in exchange for your help
Guidance and hands-on learning in regenerative living, gardening and land-based projects
A communal living experience based on respect, simplicity and collaboration
Space to slow down, reflect and reconnect with yourself, others and nature
You will learn while working, and work while learning.
🌍 Who we are looking for
We are looking for people who:
Feel drawn to living close to nature
Are willing to contribute with care and responsibility
Are open to communal living and shared rhythms
Want to be part of something that is still growing and unfolding
Our intention is to form a small, aligned community with a shared goal:
to learn, inspire, grow and carry this way of living forward.
If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you.
Tell us who you are, what draws you to this place, and what you feel you can bring.
About me and the land:
Somewhere in the hills of the Wild West of Portugal, hidden away between cork trees there is a piece of land that is ready to be taken care of. To be build up into an oasis you can only dream about. Our 20 hectare land located between valley's and hills is one of a kind. Breathtaking views, a lake to cool you down and donkey's to keep you company, what's not to love?
I am Sarah, 28, and live with my two dogs on a rural plot of land in the Alentejo. We have 10 cuddly donkeyss, chickens and a goose. We are developing the property into a little piece of paradise. Unfortunately, the terrain has been neglected and not properly taken care of. We are here to help her flourish and grow into a healthy natural environment.
I work with permaculture principles. Reclaiming the soil and making the earth healthy again. I love to share knowledge and learn and grow from each other. I also work with medicinal herbs, and am creating a tree nursery to help our forest or cork trees.
The work is very diverse, every day is different. Construction, maintenance, irrigation, taking care of trees, creating a healthy soil. One day could be filled with solving water problems while the other is making a structure, taking care of the trees or carrying a lot of stones around.
We have a glamping area to make your stay comfortabel. There is a shower (cold), compost toilet and outdoor kitchen. This all is only for the volunteers. If you have your own tent or campervan you are also more then welcome to pitch or park.
We offer fresh and delicious food. Lunch we will eat together, and we'll see how the rest flows.
The property has lots to offer, beautiful views, donkeys to cuddle, trails to explore. It's a gem in the middle of nowhere. Besides that, amazing beaches are a small ride away. There is good surf and beautiful hikes on the cliffs. A lot of opportunities to go on adventures!
In our free time we like to go out on adventures with friends. Camping, surfing, motorcross, hiking, surf skate or just laying on the beach. We are flexible and easygoing and looking for people who like to make their hand dirty and are in for some fun.
The land is pretty remote, I highly recommend to have your own way of transport if you want to have some freedom or time away.
