Welcome to our Community Supported Agriculture project. Launched by Slow 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.
“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
