A Quinta da Lage is a working, off-grid farm and community in Portugal’s Alentejo region, where people care for the land while exploring regenerative ways of living. Across 130 hectares, the project combines farming, nature-based learning and shared community life. Its work includes growing food, caring for a flock of sheep, regenerative agriculture, holistic grazing, reforestation, water retention, soil building and eco-construction. A Quinta welcomes guests, volunteers, facilitators and people interested in living, working or learning on the farm.

Accommodation ranges from shared-house rooms and private yurts to rustic cottages, bell tents, and places for visitors’ own tents or campervans. Guests can use shared facilities and join the rhythms of community life, with longer stays especially welcome. The farm also hosts seasonal courses and workshops in permaculture, natural building, regenerative farming, creative expression and personal growth. These offerings combine practical, hands-on experience with opportunities to share knowledge and connect with others.
