OUR FARM
Herdade da Mata has about 740 ha. The whole farm is extensively and organically farmed.
A large part of our fields are Co2 neutral permanent grasslands, which are grazed regularly and only need to be replanted every 5-6 years. In this way, we avoid annual ploughing and protect our soils and the ecosystem.
At our dam, guests can observe many different bird species.
In August, large flocks of flamingos regularly stop at Herdade da Mata. It is always a special experience to see these majestic birds so close up.
Our Black Merino sheep also live at Herdade da Mata. In close collaboration with the ANCORME association, we have managed to preserve and continuously improve this endangered breed.
Bees have also inhabited our estate for some years now.
They contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and produce delicious honey.
Our Miranda donkeys, a breed also at risk of extinction, are also part of our philosophy.
These extremely charming animals fit perfectly into Herdade da Mata.
