Highlights
A genuine mission, not just a farm visit. Preserving Portuguese autochthonous breeds is the farm’s core purpose, giving real substance to the tour beyond animal viewing.
Five distinct workshops in one visit. From livestock to gardens, forest and mushrooms, this covers far more ground than a typical animal farm stop.
A full day, at a relaxed pace. At 5 hours, there’s real time to engage with each workshop rather than rushing through.
An optional traditional feast. The add-on lunch menu — wood-oven veal, cabidela rice, grilled trout — offers a genuine taste of regional Minho cuisine.
