A sustainable experience in Madeira
More than just a visit, this tour invites you to immerse yourself in a way of life that respects the balance between humanity and nature. At this sustainable farm, everything has been designed in harmony, from organic farming practices to the methods used to preserve native species.
It stands as a living testament to Madeira’s commitment to its rich heritage.
Along the way, you will discover an aromatic and medicinal garden, where native herbs and plants are cultivated following traditional practices. Each species tells a story, some have been used for centuries in folk medicine, while others still lend flavour and identity to Madeiran gastronomy today.
Among the flavours and flowers of Madeira, you will be captivated by the collection of proteas, around 60 varieties of flowers from South Africa and Australia that paint the landscape with vibrant colours.
The visit concludes on a high note with a tasting of products made on this sustainable farm: fresh cottage cheese, honey, pollen and a special tasting of artisanal mead.
