VOLUNTEERING AT QUINTA DA CORUJA

Quinta da Coruja is the perfect place for people who appreciate nature and quietness combined with the interest of learning new skills and the willingness to contribute to the daily tasks of a farm. Farm life and co-living can be challenging, demanding and there is a lot of hard work involved, but it is also rewarding in so many ways and a lifestyle that we cherish. We value curiosity, acceptance and openness to explore the ups and downs of everyday life as a human being, whatever that may look like for you and we think a touch of playfulness and humour is a welcome element within that process. We believe all tasks throughout the day can be done with a mindful intention and there is a great opportunity for self exploration and great learnings. We support an environment of mutual respect, cooperation, honesty and shared responsibility.
