Moinhos do Dão isn't built by investors.
It's built by us, with help from the people who come here.
Friends and family spend their holidays here helping us. Visitors and volunteers share ideas, tools and encouragement. Little by little, all of this helps shape Moinhos.
Financial support is another way of helping us keep the work going.
If you'd like to contribute, your money goes directly into the farm, the valley, the animals and the old buildings and structures we're looking after.
Support Moinhos do Dão
Every contribution helps us keep things moving
-
Restore & Renovate
Many of the old buildings are still waiting to be restored. Your support helps us renovate them step by step, creating welcoming spaces for guests while preserving the character of the valley.
-
Care for Nature
We plant trees, care for the forest, protect wildlife and look after the water and habitats around the farm.
-
Keep the Farm Growing
Seeds, plants, tools, irrigation, fencing and all the small things that keep a working farm going.
-
Preserve Local Heritage
The old mills, granite walls and water channels are part of the history of this place. We want to keep them here and give them a future.
-
Care for Our Animals
Our animals are part of everyday life here. Contributions help with food, shelters, fencing, veterinary care and the everyday costs of looking after them.

Where your support goes
Every contribution stays here at Moinhos do Dão.
Sometimes it helps pay for animal feed. Sometimes it goes towards trees, plants, tools or building materials. Sometimes it helps with veterinary care or repairing another small piece of the farm.
We simply use it where it is needed most.
Why we ask for support
Moinhos do Dão is our hearts project.
We are restoring this place with our own hands, little by little. We put our time, our savings and as much of ourselves as we can into it because we believe it is worth looking after.
If you'd like to help us keep going, we'd be grateful.
