Cooking

We are excited to extend an invitation to join us at the Traditional Dream Factory, a regenerative farm and co-living development in Abela, Alentejo, Portugal.


We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who love cooking and/or want to improve their cooking skills. We tend to have 20-30 people on the ground, and feeding everyone with delicious and nutricious meals is our top priority. You'll be working in direct contact with our land, getting fresh vegetables every day.


To join us, you should align with our community's values, be open to learning, sharing, and working, and be excited to contribute to our collective efforts. Our community is about more than just work; it's about having fun, growing together, and sharing in the co-creation of our land and experiences. We ask for a minimum commitment of two weeks. In return, you'll be immersed in our community, gaining invaluable experience and insights, and contributing to a meaningful project.


We expect volunteers to contribute four hours of work each day, five days a week. Before you apply, we recommend reading our pink paper, which details our community's culture and processes. If our vision resonates with you and you're eager to play, learn, and create with us, we'd love to hear from you. Check our Visitor's Guide and let's schedule a call to know each other by sending a mail to space@traditionaldreamfactory.com


The recommended stay is 1 month - and ideally coming in the beginning of the month so that we can have a good group dynamic.
