Lalaland Family Farm

A family-oriented regenerative farm at Sítio Craveira, Portugal, built on permaculture principles by founders Manuela and Joe and run with its community. It offers outdoor activities, workshops and family gatherings.

Lalaland Family Farm runs permaculture courses, family gatherings and outdoor activities at Sítio Craveira, Portugal. Manuela and Joe founded it on permaculture principles and a commitment to family, nature and sustainable living. It works as both an agricultural and a cultural association. The farm is community-driven. Its members have given their time and energy to help build what the founders set out to create: a place with meaning, connection and a shared sense of purpose. The farming is regenerative. The idea is to work with nature rather than against it, building healthy soil, growing food sustainably and creating a resilient local ecosystem. Activities include permaculture design workshops, outdoor activities for families and seasonal gatherings. They're meant to teach and to build lasting bonds between participants of all ages. After a period of reflection and growth, the co-founders have relaunched the project and are carrying on building Lalaland as a hub for positive change. They want it to model sustainable farming and to grow a community culture based on shared values, humour and a love of the land.

Our Goal

To build a regenerative family farm, based on permaculture principles, that brings people together through education, outdoor activities and community gatherings. The project also wants to model sustainable agriculture and to nurture a culture of shared values and connection with nature.

Our Wishes

Community members, volunteers and like-minded families who want to get involved are welcome to share their skills and help the farm grow as a hub for positive change.
