The Farm

A real place.
Not a concept.

Somewhere in the hills near Coimbra, Portugal, there is land. Olive trees. A stone house that needs work. And a small group of people who want to build something different — together.

What it is

Slow land. Shared purpose.

The Ikigai Village Farm is not a retreat centre or an agritourism project. It is a working piece of land that belongs to the community — in spirit, if not yet in deed.

We grow food. We build structure. We host short stays for community members who need quiet, nature, and honest work with their hands. It is the physical anchor of everything Ikigai Village is about.

Right now we are in the early stages: planning, finding the right people, deciding how ownership and stewardship should work. If this resonates, we want to hear from you.

What is taking shape

  • Olive grove + vegetable garden (seasonal)
  • Stone farmhouse restoration (in progress)
  • Community work-stays (pilot 2025)
  • Off-grid infrastructure planning
  • Shared stewardship model (being developed)

Who this is for

You do not have to want to live there full-time.

The Curious

You are interested in how land, community, and slow living intersect. You want to follow the process, learn, maybe visit one day.

The Contributor

You have skills — building, growing, designing, facilitating — and you want to offer them in exchange for time and experience on the land.

The Co-Creator

You want to be involved in shaping how this works — the stewardship model, the values, the structure. You are in it for the long game.

Auf Deutsch

Ein echter Ort. Kein Konzept.

Irgendwo in den Hügeln nahe Coimbra, Portugal, gibt es Land. Olivenbäume. Ein altes Steinhaus, das saniert werden muss. Und eine kleine Gruppe Menschen, die gemeinsam etwas anderes aufbauen wollen.

Der Ikigai Village Farm ist kein Retreat-Zentrum. Es ist Land, das der Gemeinschaft gehört.

Wir bauen Lebensmittel an. Wir schaffen Struktur. Wir empfangen kurze Aufenthalte für Mitglieder, die Stille, Natur und ehrliche Arbeit brauchen.

Wenn dich das anspricht: Trag dich in die Warteliste ein.

The farm is part of a larger project.
