Lalaland Family Farm

Lalaland Family Farm is a community-driven regenerative farm based in Portugal, located at Sítio Craveira. Founded by Manuela and Joe, the project is built around permaculture principles and a deep commitment to family, nature, and sustainable living. The farm operates as both an agricultural and cultural association, bringing people together through permaculture courses, family gatherings, and outdoor activities. At its heart, Lalaland Family Farm believes in the power of community. Its members have dedicated their time and passion to help bring the founders' vision to life — a space filled with meaning, connection, and a shared sense of purpose. The project embraces a regenerative approach to farming, working with nature rather than against it, to build healthy soil, grow food sustainably, and create a resilient local ecosystem. The farm offers a range of activities including permaculture design workshops, family-friendly outdoor experiences, and seasonal gatherings that celebrate the rhythms of nature and community life. These events are designed to educate, inspire, and build lasting bonds among participants of all ages. After a period of reflection and growth, the co-founders have relaunched the project with renewed energy and excitement, continuing to build Lalaland as a hub for positive change. Their vision is not only to model sustainable agricultural practices but also to nurture a community culture grounded in shared values, humour, and a love of the land.
