Kör genom Funchals livliga stad och Madeiras magnifika böljande kullar till Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, en liten gård som arbetar med hållbart jordbruk. Här kommer vår National Geographic-utbildade guide att berätta om regionen och presentera oss för gårdens ägare, Bruno Santos. Efter att ha lämnat revisoryrket för jordbruk ägnar Bruno nu sitt liv åt att hjälpa sitt grannskap genom hållbart jordbruk, ett minskat miljöavtryck och samhällsengagemang.
Följ Bruno genom blommande dungar när du utforskar området. Du får lära dig om de många användningsområdena för deras nyodlade örter och besöka deras jordgubbsplantage. Titta på fälten och poios - som madeiraner kallar de terrasserade områdena där de odlar sina grödor - medan du lär dig mer om gårdens produkter och djurhållning. På gården finns olika djur som kycklingar, getter, får och mycket mer. Det finns även en liten marknad som Bruno har skapat för att hjälpa andra lokala försäljare att nå ut i samhället, inspirerad av mantrat ”köp lokalt”.
Du kommer också att få uppleva en mängd säsongsbetonade aktiviteter som erbjuds exklusivt till National Geographics resenärer. Skörda mogna frukter och lär dig de rätta teknikerna för att så frön i en planteringsverkstad. Denna praktiska inlärningsmiljö ger liv åt Brunos hållbarhets- och biovänliga filosofi. Efteråt kan du koppla av och njuta av uppfriskande te bryggt av gårdens egna örter, samt hemlagade kakor, rostat bröd och sylt konserverad av lokala frukter.
