The Experience

We intend to make our space a center for visits to animals of various species. Nature and recreational activities with people of all ages. 5km from Vila dos arcos de Valdevez, in the parish of Vale, this project that started in 2017 with the production of snails, is currently being transformed into organic vegetable production, where we also have an expanding pedagogical farm, sheep, ducks, chickens and pigs, with 1ha.

Estoy agradecida porque me recibieron fuera de las fechas que normalmente reciben voluntarios. Fue una buena experiencia, no sé si nos entendimos muy bien, no supe si estaban cómodos conmigo. Agradezco también que me permitieron compartir con ellos la noche de natal.
