What an amazing experience!

Everything was so well organized, from the first day to the last. I learned so much, not only about cooking, but also about gardening, growing food and how to organize a beautiful farm.

Sophie is such a wonderful teacher! She shared so much knowledge with us, from cooking techniques to all the little secrets of farm life. I came home with a notebook full of ideas, a head full of inspiration and probably a few extra kilos from all the delicious food! 😂

But the best part was the people. I met such beautiful souls, and I know they will stay in my heart and memories forever.

It was so much more than just a cooking retreat. It was a week full of learning, laughter, amazing food and unforgettable moments.

Thank you, Sophie and The Farming Chefs, for this beautiful adventure! I already can’t wait for the next one you organize. Count me in! ❤️

The Farming Chefs retreat is a must do for anyone who loves food and is interested in learning more about organic farming techniques, whether for personal consumption or as a small community market farm.  You will learn some great techniques on how to prepare meals for large groups taught by high level chefs.  Sophie and Filipe know how to run a kitchen and were able to coordinate, coach and lead a group of us to prepare some incredible meals, using everything they grow on their farm.  Their patience, care and knowledge of combining fresh ingredients has left me with an incredibly awesome memory, along with some great tips on how to prepare great food. They are amazing hosts with a deep passion for their guests and community. For a brief time, we were a part of a family who intend on making a difference by sharing their knowledge of organic farming. I look forward to seeing what The Farming Chefs can do, as they have great plans for expanding the farm to table experience.  Get in while you can to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience with them.  By far, this was one of the most amazing moments I have ever had on vacation.

This retreat is so much fun! Sophie and Filipe are wonderful! They explain exceptionally well, and are happy to share their recipes and cooking methods. I would love to follow them around and take notes on everything, and you instantly feel like part of the family. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is looking for a fun and educational group activity to add to your vacation or even to build a vacation around it. There was much fun and laughter, and a fabulous group to hang out with, and the food was so incredibly tasty and amazing. If you are a foodie,  then you won't want to miss this retreat! I cannot say enough good things about this place and the retreat, and I would come back again and again. Sophie and Filipe, much Love and Blessings to you both and your family, and all your little wonderful helpers xoxo

Spent an incredible week with the Farming Chefs at one of their farm to table cooking retreats. It might have changed my life a little bit :)

We covered slew of cooking skills, from making bread to cheeses, pâtés, and pastries from absolute scratch. We did day trips into small towns and bakeries, and harvested from micro farms.  Our group was a mix of new chefs, intermediate, and even folks who own farmsteads around the world! I was the beginning chef in the group and just loved every minute. In particular, Sophie is a warm, relaxed host who also has a wicked sense of humor. The care that she and the team put into every minute was outstanding.

I went on this retreat to learn about farming, food, and flavor, and to hopefully slow down a little bit, and instead left with nothing short of lifelong friends. Sophie has inspired me to live in appreciation a little bit more every day. I plan to visit their farm in Portugal next!

Um dia mesmo muito especial, na natureza, organizado pela Sofia e pelo Filipe, dos The Farming Chefs.

Começámos com um pequeno-almoço delicioso, cheio de produtos da região e coisas caseiras: ovos, pães artesanais, fruta, doces e bolos, sumos naturais, café e uma seleção incrível de chás.

Depois tivemos a nossa primeira aula de aguarela com a professora Ana, no meio daquela tranquilidade do campo. Aprendemos a fazer o sketch, a escolher as cores e a construir a pintura aos poucos. Acho que todas ficámos genuinamente surpreendidas com o que conseguimos fazer. Com a orientação certa, acabámos por descobrir capacidades que nem sabíamos que tínhamos.

Ainda houve tempo para um mergulho na piscina e para simplesmente estar ali, a ouvir os passarinhos e a aproveitar o silêncio e a natureza.

Ao almoço fomos até à quinta da Sofia e do Filipe e, sinceramente, a comida estava maravilhosa. Saladas frescas e cheias de sabor, uma kombucha deliciosa, gaspacho de melancia e feta e carne maturada preparada em sous-vide, acompanhada por vários pratos e saladas. Para terminar, uma delícia sobremesa com amoras. Estava tudo mesmo muito, muito bom.

À tarde voltámos às aguarelas, desta vez inspiradas nos produtos da própria quinta. Experimentámos outras técnicas, brincámos com as cores e aprendemos a chegar às tonalidades que queríamos. No final do dia tivemos um jantar leve e delicioso.

Mas acho que o que mais gostei neste retiro foi tudo o que aconteceu para além da comida e da aguarela. Foi perceber que, às vezes, só precisamos da orientação certa para conseguirmos fazer coisas que achávamos que não éramos capazes. E foi também o grupo. Pessoas muito simpáticas, num ambiente tão tranquilo e acolhedor que foi fácil desligar do ritmo normal, baixar um bocadinho as barreiras e simplesmente aproveitar o momento, a natureza e a companhia.

Sentiu-se o cuidado da Sofia e do Filipe em todos os detalhes, sem nunca parecer forçado. Foi daqueles dias que sabem mesmo bem.

Cinco estrelas para os The Farming Chefs. Repetiria sem pensar duas vezes!
