Casa Velha is a 67-hectare farm in Vale Travesso, Ourém municipality near Fatima in Portugal. Some Atravessados members – a group of 18 young people who volunteer there once a month – prepare to plant some leeks, lettuces, zucchinis, cabbages. “You can start with the lettuces. Leave, more or less, five inches between each foot,” says Margarida Alvim, head of the Associação Casa Velha – Ecologia e Espiritualidade.
