Food

As such, we embrace a ‘farm-to-fork’ ethos. To ensure this, we intend to guarantee the quality and freshness of our daily produce, grown organically either in our 650 sqm greenhouse or outside in our permaculture nursery. Any surplus produce will be given to clients, employees, social nursing homes in the area and the students who will be working with us.

The Cork Tree Residences is establishing a partnership with the professional agriculture secondary school in Grândola. Their A-Levels students will work in our greenhouse in order for them to develop organic food production projects. In exchange, we will provide two means-tested scholarships per year to study agriculture-related subjects at university.

The meat we serve will come from our own free-range farm animals: Chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, sheep, goats and pigs. Salt-water fish will be purchased at source from local fishermen 15km away. It is truly important for us to provide our clients with the best quality of food that we can obtain. Better food means better health.

Our beehives will help with pollination as well as enabling us to produce organic honey at source for our clients all year around.
