Life on the Farm - Permaculture, Bioconstruction, and Conscious Consumption


The experience

Little by little, the Margarida Institute is being born.
And we, eternal learners of time, turn our daily care to the space, with strength and gentleness, in order to make it grow roots and blossom.
With a focus on permaculture, using bioconstruction and conscious consumption, we believe in art and community as paths that make life possible.
