Experience Details

We believe that a healthy and prosperous life starts with what we eat; also, gastronomy and family recipes connect us as human beings. Eleven years ago we decided to switch our farm from a "traditional" crops to organic ones to improve our own health.


In this experience we'll walk through our organic farm with the last bits of sunlight looking for the fresh ingredients we'll need to prepare a delicious dinner and share our culture with you.


We hope that, besides providing a delicious foodie experience, what we do inspires more people to care about the source of their food and protect our planet.


We have veggie and vegan options. Please do let us know if you have any other allergy and/or dietary restriction.
