“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.
He could see many issues impacting his family and the local community, so his insight and passion gave him a purpose to bring positive change to the region.
