The Quinta Project
5.5 hectares of olive trees, vegetable gardens, a young food forest, groves, streams and wild areas in the São Mamede mountains:
home to me, my dogs, my cat, and a lot of ongoing work…
A place to build a more rooted life, with food from the land, queer community, friendship, shared meals, useful work, and people who feel at home outside.
The Land
The Quinta has two vegetable gardens, olive groves, a young food forest, and a “Montado” regeneration project. There are four streams, shaded woodlands, rocky areas, and wild corners…

Life here
Life at the Quinta is a mix of growing food, clearing land, cooking, making plans, changing plans, …
There is always work, but also coffee outside, food on the table, friends passing through, and the pleasure of seeing the place slowly become more itself.

Connect
Some people come to volunteer. Some join a small gathering. Some visit by arrangement. Others follow from a distance…
There are different ways to connect with the Quinta, depending on the season and what is happening on the land.
