Vale das Lobas

Vale das Lobas is a model for rural regeneration, based on a holistic approach. The goals are to restore health, revitalize community and regenerate biodiversity. This is being achieved by the creation of economically and environmentally sustainable businesses, in nature tourism, regenative agriculture, natural building and artisan crafts. The interventions have been carefully designed to integrate ancestral traditions with innovation, using sustainable construction, regenerative agriculture, natural medicine, and artisanal crafts.

We practice agro-ecology in our gardens, orchards and forests, integrated with the traditional ways of the local land custodians. Our production ranges from fully organic, biological vegetables, nuts and fruits to aromatic herbs and medicinal plants. Some examples are olives, chestnuts, walnuts, apples, yellow corn and blue corn, chickpeas, basil, tomatoes and other farm-to-table vegetables, and we also produce transformed products such as olive oil, wine, passata (tomato concentrate), chutneys, pesto and fermented goods.
