A huge thank you to Edite and Luís for the wonderful experience they provided us, our first approach to beekeeping could not have been better🤩. It was a pleasure to get to know your space, learn from you about the life of bees (your sharing was fantastic!! immense wisdom), try the farm's fabulous natural products (that mead, that honeycomb!👌👌👌) and of course, being able to meeting two such helpful and friendly people. We hope to return again one day soon, thank you very much for your warm welcome and best wishes for happiness and success, may your little bees be very healthy and busy😊. Kisses, Ana&Hugo.

It was a wonderful experience, a day well spent! We almost felt like we had gone on a retreat. The peace of the place, the buzzing of the bees, the taste of delicious honey, the friendliness of Edite and Hernani who welcomed us like family made the experience remarkable. FABULOUS! We went as a family, with our 4 year old son and the attention, friendliness and care they gave us was phenomenal. Our son LOVED it. They are people who genuinely love what they do and are able to convey that pleasure to us. We learned so much! We are very grateful.

A unique experience that not only makes us discover the magical and impressive world of bees but also makes us aware of how the climate impacts caused by us are damaging our planet. It is a relevant, unique and important experience told by Edite, to whom we are very grateful for her mission and the morning she gave us! Thank you for being an excellent host and thank you for the mission you committed to with this magical place.
