An aid to begin restoring the place of Coval, a typical Alto-Minho space.

After I've been emigrated since 2010 and I lived in many countries, I decided to came back to Portugal with a goal in my mind: take care of my grandfather's land farm, wich since my grandma's death are abandoned, and make a little ecosystem where animals and plants can live together in the most natural way. I had no money, so I applied to the EU's Agriculture Programs (PRODER) but the funds will take long to get aproved and I would like to make some work and repairs to get the job done as soon as possible.

The project I've submited to PRODER is about the plantation of Physalis, a berry with a lot of demand in Europe's northern countries and it adapts well in the fertile lands of Alto Minho. This kind of government's help takes too long and I would like to make some land planification and works to start the plantation about the end of this year. I would like to restore the animal's houses.

The land has about 1,5 hectare and the plantation will be done in 1,24, the other land is where the houses are located.

I'm here to ask for help to start this adventure.

 

About the author

I'm Carlos Maciel and I'm an adventurer. I've study multimedia design, but I did a lot of things I knew little and I learned a lot. Since I emigrated I was a waiter, cabin crew, hotel recepctionist, real estate agent and now I'm about to return to the place I grew and be an agriculture.

RIght now I'm studyng Agriculture Company's management and I produce some physalis in an amateur way, but I count on my grandpa's help who knows the land better than me.

The sells will be made by SAM, is a company who exports exotic fruits to the french and german markets.

Budget and due dates

O orçamento será divido a meio. Metade para reabilitar e limpar os terrenos e a outra metade para restaurar as estruturas dos galinheiros e cortes já existentes. O prazo será até ao final do Verão. No entanto a primeira produção estima-se que será apenas na Primavera ou Verão de 2015.
