Location

The Pentieiros Pedagogical Farm is located in the Pentieiros area, integrated into the locality of São Pedro d'Arcos, in the municipality of Ponte de Lima. This place offers a tranquil environment and is framed by the characteristic rural landscape of the Minho region. Its position allows visitors a connection with the surrounding natural scenery and local agricultural traditions.

The Essence of Rural Life

This space was conceived from the recovery of an agricultural production area, with the purpose of showcasing the daily life of the countryside. The farm provides a direct perspective on the experiences of a Minho agricultural holding, allowing visitors to closely observe the routines and practices that mark rural daily life. It is an opportunity to understand, in a practical way, the functioning of a traditional farm.

Production Areas

At the Pentieiros Pedagogical Farm, visitors can explore the various areas that make up the holding. There is a sector dedicated to animal production, where one can observe how the farm's animals are cared for and live. In parallel, a vegetable production area shows the cultivated crops and the different stages of land work. These areas offer a concrete view of the origins of agricultural products and cultivation methodologies.

Portuguese Indigenous Breeds

One of the distinctive aspects of the farm is its role in showcasing and valuing Portuguese indigenous breeds. Visitors can observe up close animals that represent an important part of the country's genetic and cultural heritage. This aspect of the farm contributes to biodiversity conservation and offers a unique perspective on traditional Portuguese fauna.
