Where and When to buy bio and organic fruit and vegetables in Algarve directly from the farmers

Organic Farming in Algarve
What does organic agriculture consist of?
First of all, it is based on not interfering with the structure of the land and the animal life. Ploughing is avoided. It uses no nitrates, which would also have a harmful effect on the water as a result of leaching. Only manure from animals fed on organic pasture is used. Copper and sulphur are permitted if used in a controlled manner. We came across producers who have different positions on this issue. Eco123, the most respected magazine in portugal on environmental issues, has investigated this topic on this very interesting article: read here
