Deep in the interior of Portugal, there is a farm that is attempting to bring new economic life to the area. Our farm is a micro-village of activity in the zone where value-added products are slowly replacing the traditional agricultural practices. During your visit, you can see how at the farm these new activities exist side-by-side with traditional ones. Moreover, we invite you to visit our display of old farming practices and rural economics. While in the town of Oledo, you also get a glimpse of the life and people of Beira Baixa, including the option to visit the important landmarks of the area: Monsanto and Idanha-a-Velha.
