Join our team of donkeys
Are you passionate about animals, nature, and creativity? We invite you to become a part of Burro Verde (formerly Burros & Artes), a beloved donkey sanctuary in Aljezur, where we blend the beauty of nature, art, and community.
About Us
We took over a donkey farm - just without a farm. Help us build a new one. We recently took over a donkey farm - with everything that goes with it: wonderful long ears, a lot of knowledge, experience and a long story. What else is missing? The farm itself.<br/> Now we are facing the beautiful task of building a new home for the donkey - piece by piece, with a lot of initiative, support from the area and hopefully also with your help.<br/> We design new pastures, build stables, fences and paths - everything that is necessary so that the donkeys can live safely and relaxed. At the same time, there is a place for encounter, learning and nature experience - for children, adults and everyone who loves animals.<br/> If you want to support us - with energy, materials, donations or simply by further saying - we'd be very happy. Together we bring the donkey farm back to life.What We Do
Our mission is to build a welcoming environment filled with clay buildings, gardens, and creative spaces that harmonize with the land. As we transition to this new home for our beloved donkeys, we invite you to join us in building this dream from the ground up.What We're Looking For
