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.

Reviews
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.
For the Hydroponic Farm, this really was a fantastic tour. Mike, the farmer, was very knowledgable, answering every question we had, and we really enjoyed hearing about his story. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to learn more about Hydroponics, or just to experience a unique outdoor experience.
