ABOUT THE FARM
Our 43-hectare farm in southwestern Portugal has a lot going on. From growing organic food, to regenerating soils, nourishing the community, and educating people about ecosystem restoration, there is something happening all year-round!
Quinta Vale da Lama is a web of experiences, activities, stories, and landscapes. Learn more about them below.
