Hort'Anita is a delivery company to the home of high-quality agricultural products making them come to our clients with the same quality levels at harvest.
Gaining a taste for the land, i decided to take the role of my life project. This rural development project in the area of Lousã, dedicated to planting vegetables each season fertilizing them only with organic products. Giving life to Hort'Anita, the main objective of this project is the polyculture of vegetables, herbs and fruit trees. To do this, i use methods of tradicional agriculture . A crop of products are made according to the orders, therefore, there is a huge commitment in delivering fresh products, better food at an affordable price to the entire population . Something that large commercial superfecies fail to offer their customers one of the strongest points of this project.
Agriculture is done on a small farm, but one of my goalsis to extend. In addition to agriculture, also I have a small coop, where i have 8 chickens , thus being able to elaborate more complete baskets . To reach the customer markedly, i made baskets of various sizes. Baskets baby (contains 5 products Hort'Anita) - costs 5 €, average baskets (7 Products Hort'Anita) for 7.5 € and family baskets (10 products Hort'Anita) for 10 €, each customer It contains a card so registering the sales number. When this same customer comes to 10 sales, the purchase of the next basket is thus offered the bag with the logo Hort'Anita. The weights range from 5 kilos, and 7kilos 13kilos respectively. This mix bag is made of jute.
These baskets contain products suggested by the promoter, with seasonal produce. Despite the baskets to sell, I sell depending on what the customer requests, considering a normal sale. Sales are made at trade shows, door to door, facebook, or by phone, offering a variety of choice to the customer.

In addition, with the approach of winter, one of my objectives,its will acquire a small greenhouse, as well as a system for hydroponics and drop-by-drop irrigation system, so as to empower the ground, trying to reduce the risks that this type of agriculture has derived the bad weather, frost, etc., ensuring the survival of the production. Water is drawn from a well through a motor, an mimimize costs. The feedback from customers and people around have been very positive, one of the aspects that has given strength to continue with this project.
This help would be 1000 euros and present the entire budget needed to grow this company, which is intended for rural development from the blackboard and so invest in agriculture.
About the author
My name is Ana Luisa Lucas da Silva, i have 33 years old, I live in Lousã district Coimbra have the basic graduaction in portugal. Is still one of my desires continue to invest in training, I took various professional backgrounds, the animation level, geriatrics, Support Children, educational assistant, and I worked in this field for some time with the elderly, children and drug addicts, but in 2013 i becoming unemployed.
Since this time I looked for a job but not getting results. I began helping my ex-husband in the nurseries in the production of fruit trees, and there I got a taste for the land, "feel free" is the most suitable feeling and more present when work. There is a change in my personal life, where did the need to have my own job, because she was alone and with two dependent children, could not work at night, the hours in the morning shift and afternoon was to come early and leave late and there was no one who would take me and get my children to school, was becoming difficult.
It was then that appeared ADSCCL - with the social Microninho_Incubadora which helped us to structure our business idea and where we had several formations in the management, marketing, labor and commercial law, invoicing. thus creating the Hort'Anita.
I consider myself a fighter person, not giving up easily of my dreams.
Budget and due dates
This aid will be 1,000€ to help grow this entrepreneurship project. Due to the crisis that is passing, and support for arrance this type of business are scarce and / or take your time, and taking into account my financial situation at the moment, I do not in any way be stopped or idly .
One of the weaknesses of my project is that it does not have a greenhouse that will help me in a significant increase in production and can grow produce out of season. In addition, it will help reduce risks that traditional agriculture has (frost, bad weather, etc.).
The hydroponics system will serve to create effectively strawberries, planting can do at any time of the year, have a rational use of water, and above all, reduce the risks of having constant losses in the plantation of the same.
Seeds and cuvettes serve to be able to have a stock with a wide range of organic products, which can then incubate the seeds of effectively and safely.
The drop-by-drop irrigation system is a system with countless advantages. It contains a great precision is much more economical, effective and reduces the probability of disease in plants.
As for the timber, can serve to draw boxes Hort'Anita by the products so as to offer a larger organization, transportation safety, saving in plastic bags, taking into account that a box to serve various orders.
Therefore intends to make this investment as soon as possible to give continuation and survival of this project.
