Food from our Farm

from Monte da Vida, Portugal

Delicious, nutritious, high-vibration foods from our regenerative forest farm

We are growing an abundance of tree crops at Monte da Vida and have begun to transform the fruits of these trees into high-quality food products. Everything is harvested by hand and produced at small scale, using regenerative farming practices.

We are not yet certified organic but we do not use any herbicides, pesticides or chemicals on the land and focus on working with nature.

For now our products come from already established trees on the land – the olive, the pomegranate, the loquat. In the coming years, as our young fruit and nut trees mature we will be introducing more gourmet products that support health and vitality.

Our approach

We draw upon the principles of permaculture, Syntropic agriculture, and other forms of forest farming, as well as from observation over the years of what works in our particular local conditions. Sharing knowledge with local farmers and regenerative projects in South Portugal is another valuable input. We are now moving our focus towards optimising the health of soil and plants using the Soil Food Web system of Elaine Ingham.
