A Inspiring and Beautiful Project:
After 250 years in our family, Fornalha (tradicional mediterranean multi-orchard family farm) was bankrupting. Leave it? Sell it? NO. These are our roots and so valuable: high quality raw materials, wonderfull nature and weather, motivated and dreamy team... this a EDEN! So we just needed a different paradigma, a sustainable one, to save the past knowledge, build our own present and provide a healthy farm for the next generation.
We decided to implement a holistic and multi-business model (instead of a specialized one), using each resource for the best suitable purpose (raw materials, buildings, ourselfs, weather), and finding a compromise between economical needs, high quality standards, environmental values and our own personal satisfaction and hapiness.
