“Amazing course! It was so much fun! It came exactly at the right time as well. If veggie-gardening is your thing you should definitely come here! And don’t forget, they are the farming chefs, so the lunches are Amazing!״
Peter Maarleveld

“The course in 3 words would be ‘Practical, Fun, Informative!’ We have our own Quinta, and we have already tried for 1 year and we ran into some problems (and also successes!). We had a lot of questions and they were all answered here. Now we understand what caused those problems and how we can do better! Definitely come and do this course”
Pauline Gerdhing

”
It was really great seeing Sophie and Filipe’s farm! Being new to Portugal, it was great getting away with so much good information. The course was Informative and entertaining and two added bonuses were definitely the great food and going home with all the free plants and plant cuttings from the herb garden.”
Jessica Dunlop

“For anyone who wants a high-speed crash course in farming and an expert in the field to answer their questions, I would definitely recommend it! It was high-speed, reciprocal (there was a lot of interaction), questions were very well incorporated into the course, and the atmosphere was very informal and relaxed.”
