This experience takes place in modern greenhouses, where you’ll explore a 3,000 m² hydroponic production area housing approximately 68,000 plants, all grown using the NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) system.
During the visit, you’ll learn how hydroponics works and why it represents a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional agriculture. Your guide will explain how plants grow without soil, how nutrients are delivered through a controlled water system, and how this method optimizes resources while ensuring high-quality, fresh produce.

Our Producer
Our producer is mainly engaged in the production of horticultural and aromatic plants in greenhouses, supported in the innovation of a system of production called hydroponics in NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), with an area of about half a hectare.
The challenge included a detailed analysis, business, and market prospecting, work follow-up, dynamization of work methods and teamwork, always with the aim of sustainability, streamlining and designing the root vegetables.
The Vegetables
Tasty food, the vegetables can be prepared with many and varied dishes, pleasing to all palates. In addition to being rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, vegetables also have bioactive compounds that protect against degenerative diseases such as diabetes, various types of cancers and cardiovascular diseases.
The Technique
Hydroponic farming is a subset of hydroculture, which is the growing of plants in a soil-less medium, or an aquatic-based environment. Hydroponic growing uses mineral nutrient solutions to feed the plants in water, without soil.

Wonderful tour in a great hydroponic farm! The farmer was very knowledgable and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. He was very professional and answered all questions. He even gave me a huge amount of advice for things to see outside Lisbon before I even went in the tour! I hope to return and I will join more tours with Portugal Farm Experiences.
