Autumn is the season of true abundance. Join us to celebrate this time of plenty on the Quinta!

Experience community and enjoy the gifts of nature as we celebrate with our first theme week, dedicated to harvesting and preserving food grown on the Quinta or produced locally.

Working together, we will pickle, ferment, can, cook, dry, and juice produce from the land. We may even try to make wine! Beyond preserving the food, we invite you to explore with us the local (vegetarian) food scene. Try local delicacies, and create imaginative dishes for the community from seasonal fruit and vegetables.

Every day, we will have activities which will help us to connect to the land and the produce, and to grow as a community. We will also offer off-site visits, including trips to local markets and producers. All the delicious vegetarian or vegan food during the week will be shared as we come together to enjoy each other’s company and savour the fruits of our labour. To end the week, we will have a closing celebration, where we will invite local friends and neighbours to join us.

Accommodation during the week will be in shared double rooms and/or a shared sleeping space at Community House. Alternatively, you are invited to bring a tent to sleep on the land. For more information about accommodation and daily life at the Quinta, click here.

To join the week, please attend the online welcome meeting on 21 July at 5pm (details and registration here).
If you can’t attend, please book a slot here to have a chat about the week.

Please note: the number of participants is limited to 10. Places are attributed on a first come, first served basis. After the limit is reached, we will operate a waiting list.
