Dit kun je verwachten

Na een rit door het bruisende Funchal en de glooiende heuvels van Madeira bereik je Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, een kleine boerderij die zich inzet voor duurzame landbouw. Hier geeft je gids, die is getraind door National Geographic, inzicht in de regio. En je maakt kennis met de eigenaar van de boerderij, Bruno Santos. Bruno heeft zijn baan in de boekhouding verruild voor de landbouw en wijdt nu zijn leven aan het helpen van zijn buurt door middel van duurzame landbouw, een kleinere ecologische voetafdruk en sociale initiatieven.

Je volgt Bruno door de bloeiende boomgaarden en samen verken je het terrein. Zo ontdek je de vele toepassingen van de vers gekweekte kruiden en je neemt een kijkje bij de aardbeienplantage. Ook zie je de velden en poio's – de terrasvormige gebieden waar de Madeirianen hun gewassen verbouwen. Bovendien kom je meer te weten over de producten van de boerderij en de veeteelt. Op de boerderij leven verschillende dieren, waaronder kippen, geiten en schapen. Geïnspireerd door het 'koop lokaal' concept heeft Bruno zelfs een kleine markt opgezet waar andere lokale verkopers hun producten aan de man brengen.

Dan ga je zelf aan de slag met seizoensgebonden activiteiten die exclusief zijn voor National Geographic reizigers. Je oogst rijp fruit en leert de juiste technieken voor het zaaien van zaden in een plantworkshop. In deze praktijkgerichte leeromgeving brengt Bruno zijn duurzaamheids- en bio-vriendelijke filosofie tot leven. En na afloop geniet je van een welverdiende kop verse thee gebrouwen van de eigen kruiden van de boerderij, huisgemaakt gebak en toast met jam van lokale vruchten.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
