The week will also include discussions about the design of your own farm and support as needed with how to find an appropriate property.
The days will start after breakfast at 10am and end at 4pm with an hour for lunch. The focus is on practical permaculture, short presentations then hands-on preparing and planting.

You will be provided with resources to help in the understanding of permaculture and syntropic agriculture.
At 4pm you will be able to chill out, read, bathe in the river, walk through the valley and take in the exceptional views or even visit local sites such as river beaches and reservoirs.

“I work 5 days a week at Lavandeira and am learning so much about permaculture at scale. The work is very varied and we can’t wait to welcome others to join us in our mission”

“I work 2 days a week at Lavandeira and have been involved in the design and first planting season and the start of the nursery. The project is very exciting and varied and I can use all my experience in permaculture.

“This has been an idea for 10 years and dream since I was 16. There is a better way to farm and we want to prove that it can be done at scale. Come and join in and help!”
