Located in Souselo, in the Viseu region of Portugal, Farm Experiences & Tours offers an intimate look at sustainable agriculture through its Organic Farm Experience. Set on a working farm at R. de Paços 195, this 1.5-hour immersive visit invites guests to leave the city behind and engage directly with the rhythms of rural life. Just about an hour from Porto, the farm benefits from the favorable temperate climate that nurtures a diverse range of crops and wildlife.
The journey begins with a warm welcome by the producer, setting the tone for a genuine farm-to-table encounter. Visitors stroll through rows of crisp green asparagus and, in season from April to September, they savor freshly picked strawberries — juicy and fragrant, a true highlight of the visit. This tasting is paired with encounters with the farm’s friendly animals, including majestic horses, gentle sheep and goats, and colorful peacocks, whose plumage adds vivid life to the landscape.
The guided circuit winds through a sunlit vineyard where ripening grapes capture the late-afternoon glow, the forest fringes alive with songbirds, and a kitchen garden rich with herbs and vegetables, demonstrating the farm’s commitment to organic practices. This experience spotlights sustainable farming methods that respect and preserve the local ecosystem, representing a hands-on educational aspect rare in traditional farm tours.
