About Algarve Biofarm
A living farm experience in the Algarve countryside, near Paderne — built on plants, animals, sustainable farming, creativity, and the people who visit us.
Algarve Biofarm is based at Quinta Vermelha de Alcaria, a biological farm in the Algarve countryside near Paderne. The estate has roots going back to 1800, and today it is a small, inclusive countryside experience — aloe vera and aromatic gardens, a few beloved animals, handmade products, creative evenings and places to stay.
A living farm experience
We are not a visitor attraction or a themed garden. Algarve Biofarm is a real, working farm near Paderne where aloe vera and aromatic plants are grown, animals are cared for, and products are made by hand. Guests are welcomed into that rhythm, not performed at.
That's why our experiences are small, unhurried and shaped by what's happening in the gardens that week.
Guided by purpose
Three things guide how we run the farm: sustainable farming of aloe, aromatics and the wider estate; inclusive, disabled-friendly access so that as many people as possible can enjoy the land; and a kind, unhurried welcome to every guest — whether they come for an afternoon, a dinner, a workshop or a whole week.
We'd rather host a small number of people well than crowd the farm.
More than a visit
Most guests leave with more than photos. A small jar of aloe gel. A handful of dried aromatics. A painting. A recipe scribbled on a napkin. A quieter nervous system. A reminder that there are still places where time slows down and plants matter.
That's what we're trying to grow here — alongside the plants.
