About
We invite people to the farm located in the gorgeous mountain of Sintra for about 4 hours. We will start with sharing some fundamental principles of a sustainable manner to take care of the environment, which includes soil, water, insects, animals and of course, plantations. Then, we will have time to get down to business: get our hands dirty by planting new seeds, harvesting or taking care of plants. It will depend on what there is to do on that day!
We will finish our experience in the kitchen with our chef and farmers, we will learn a little about each food that will be used in the meal as well as how each dish is prepared!
