Welcome to our Community Supported Agriculture project. Launched by Slowness in 2021, Friends of a Farmer is an initiative to regenerate our soil, cultivate a community and awaken our farm in Meco, on the Arrábida Coast south of Lisbon. The project reflects a mutual commitment between farmer and consumer to support regenerative, small-scale agriculture, allowing us to thoughtfully farm high-quality, seasonal and organic produce without waste, so that it may be enjoyed by our friends.

Our Boxes

“Conventional agribusinesses are polluting our land, degrading our soils and harming our planet. Our farm offers a conscious alternative. We see the farm as a whole living system and treat our soil as the essential ingredient to our nutrient-rich food, offering our friends real food that they can trust.”

— Master farmer Andy Szymanowicz

Our Boxes

From our standard membership delivering fresh vegetables to your home weekly, to our Bloom Box with fresh cut flowers, we offer a range of ways to become a Friend of a Farmer. With all memberships, you gain full access to our exciting monthly workshops on the farm.

And, if you’re new and would like to sample our weekly harvest first before signing up, we're happy to deliver a one-time trial box.

We are sold out for this grow season!

Our fields are planned to feed our community throughout the season. With this commitment from you, our members, we are able to thoughtfully and productively grow our organic produce, without waste.
