“When Tillage Begins, Other Arts Follow.
The Farmers, Therefore, Are The Founders Of Human Civilization..”
—Daniel Webster
What is A Farm to Start
A Farm to Start was born from a young Portuguese man with a long traditional family history of working the land in the rural centre of Portugal within the region of Castelo Branco.
