Friends of a Farmer

A true Community Supported Agriculture project, Friends of a Farmer reflects a mutual commitment between farmer and consumer to support regenerative, small-scale agriculture, allowing us to grow high-quality, seasonal and organic produce without waste. Led by master famer Andy Szymanowicz, we are committed to thoughtfully farming seasonal and organic produce without waste, fostering a more authentic, respectful approach to our nourishment, as well as community programming on and around the farm.

To celebrate the beginning of our harvest each year, we hold a farmer’s market in the Graça neighborhood of Lisbon, where we share our own crops, all grown without the use of chemicals and pesticides, as well as local and artisanal products from the region. Our wish is to foster a strong bond between our community, the farm and the local producers—to build a farm with you.

Together with our partners, we are building a community dedicated to regeneration and the joy of living in harmony with our environment.
On our farm, we employ passionate, fairly-paid people committed to this goal. Supporting our farm means supporting a community of people, plants, animals, and earth, working together to sustain and support our shared earth. In addition, we lead tours on the land and monthly educational workshops, from wild orchid spotting to guided tomato harvests, bringing our community into direct contact with the farmers and educating them about regenerative farming, ecosystem restoration, nutrition and holistic health.
