Quick Details
Visit an Aromatic Herb Farm in Funchal (Madeira)
Our farm is a family owned farm for over 100 years. Recently it is being transformed into a new agricultural farm linked to aromatic and medicinal herbs, proteas, vegetables and fruit trees for the production of infusions, dehydrated fruit and cider. The 1.5 hectare farm is located in the “Monte” of Funchal municipality, one of the most visited areas by tourists in Madeira. Contrary to what is usual in aromatic herb plantations, the soil is not covered with a soil protection screen, but with a vegetal cover of flowers and endemic plants, which ensures a more pleasant visual effect and at the same time greater environmental preservation. In the exploration it will be possible to observe a wide variety of species of proteas, these exotic and still little-known flowers that have the particularity that although exotic they need fresh climates.
