Anyone that is interested in lending a hand building a Moon Coccoon here in Portugal get in touch!
We are starting to build this 2.1 hectares into a permaculture based eco-village.

There is room for the right people to stay on with us and become part of the project.

Self sustainability is the target …
There is not much accomodation yet so you will need a campervan/tent etc.

We have 5.5 hectares (organic already 20 years) close to Montemor-O-Novo, Alentejo.
The land consists of olive, fruit trees and arable land.
Basically we are looking for someone willing to farm/maintain the place  - for which we offer a lovely equipped house in exchange for vegs/fruit/oil for our household needs. We are open to suggestions from prospective interest.
We are a Dutch/Scottish couple.

I am looking for somewhere with space for a large polytunnel, terraces for organic veg, some sort of watertight house or shelter, perhaps some outbuildings or ruins for animals, but most importantly, running fresh water.

I ran an outdoors activities business in the middle Atlas mountains of Morocco for three years, so basic doesn’t bother me, and I am carrying all of the equipment to make sure off-grid living isn’t too tough. On leaving Morocco I decided to go self sufficient in Europe so I joined WWOOF and spent three months on a small organic farm in France learning the ropes of intensive organic agriculture. I have been studying Permaculture for the last year and my aim is to launch a veg basket scheme or AMAP as its know in France later in the year as the greenhouse and veg gardens come on line.

I would also consider perhaps joining up with an ongoing project along the lines of an eco village type thing. Basically I have the equipment and experience Im missing the land and decided to invest my smallish budget in the equipment to work the land rather than buy a piece of land and sit there with no money to bring it into production.

Thanks for your help, and let me know if anything else comes to mind.

Best regards
