Hello, #MoinhoLovers!
In the #FarmToTable series, we will share with you special visits to our suppliers and behind-the-scenes footage of our home that highlights our commitment to local and national producers, ensuring organic and healthy food options that reflect authenticity and quality in every dish in our home.
And for the debut of #FarmToTable on the Moinho Dom Quixote Blog, we had the pleasure of visiting Horta da Garça, a certified organic farm and vegetable garden, located in the beautiful mountains of Sintra. This incredible initiative specializes in green mixes and is one of our trusted suppliers, ensuring fresh greens, healthy tomatoes and delicious lettuce mix for Moinho Dom Quixote every day.
During our visit, we were warmly welcomed by the partners of Horta da Garça and discovered what makes their organic garden so special. The video of our visit reveals the care and dedication they put into each leaf and each plant, as well as the nature-friendly practices that are part of their process. Click here to watch!
In the freshness of the mountains
The proximity of Horta da Garça to Moinho Dom Quixote not only guarantees the freshness of the products, but also helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation, aligning with our commitment to respect for the environment and climate action. Horta da Graça offers guided tours of the farm and educational programs as a tool to inspire other entrepreneurs, students and food professionals in their transitions to a more sustainable future. We loved it!
But what are the benefits of organic foods?
Organic foods are grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers, reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals and also helping to reduce carbon emissions.
Organic foods have a more intense and authentic flavor due to the cultivation method and the quality of the soil.
Organic foods may have a higher content of nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, due to healthier soil and sustainable growing practices.
Thank you for the great welcome, dear Horta da Garça team ! The partnership with Horta da Garça helps to bring the best of organic farming directly to your meals at Moinho Dom Quixote, sharing healthy food with a home-made flavor. =)
In the #FarmToTable series, we will visit different beloved suppliers of our Moinho Dom Quixote, to share good practices, flavors, colors and innovations. Always praising local and national producers. After the visits, we will come back here to tell you all about it, #MoinhoLovers!
See you next time!
