Our horta, our quinta

From our gardens with love; local sourcing and the celebration of the seasons are at the core of Casa Mãe’s lifestyle concept. Our team of farmers and gardeners put a lot of love in growing Casa Mae’s produce and raising our 200 chickens for our in house egg production – a happy family that we have there!

Headed by Fonseca, the team applies the principles of permaculture, biodynamism and sustainability to respect the land and foster biodiversity – you will see them busy, planting, harvesting – and if you fancy joining them, our workshops are there for you!
