Traditional Dream Factory
Traditional Dream Factory is building a climate resilient neighborhood of the future in Portugal.
Our current project is a 5 hectare regenerative playground in Abela, where we have a reforestation, food forest, glamping accomodations, industrial kitchen, cafe, sauna and more. With over 3000 trees already planted on the land, and a plan to create a productive agroforestry system with over 10 000 fruit trees (including almonds, olives, citrus, berries etc) over the next few years, TDF is committed to creating a regenerative landscape that hydrates the land, sequesters carbon, and nourrishes our village and the local community. CREATING A WATER RETENTION LANDSCAPE Our swales collect runoff waters from the landscape and will be storing it in our 2 planned lakes. This will ensure a steady water supply year round. RESTORATIVE FARMING PRACTICES TDF is committed to organic farming, avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic practices are employed to maintain a balanced ecosystem, focusing on natural pest control and the use of compost for soil nutrition. BIOCHAR PRODUCTION Using syntropic methods, our agroforestry landscape is set to produce excess biomass we can process into biochar. Biochar improves soil fertility, increase water retention and stimulates microbial activity, leading to healthier trees and better crop yields - all while capturing carbon from the atmosphere and producing excess energy in the process.
