Aromatics in regenerative farming

Distillation of essential oil and hydrosol from local Portuguese plants also helps the land regenerate and gives us a sustainable source of income to support the horses and land. Aromatic plants have an important place in the eco system of the cork oak woodlands, helping to keep the trees healthy. We harvest consciously, from our hearts and with consideration for other creatures that share our living space. We pick what the plants have to offer, never taking more than a fair share. Every time you buy our products or come to stay you contribute to land regeneration too.

What is Hydrosol?

We mention hydrosol a lot throughout the site, but perhaps you don’t know about this very special healing liquid, so a quick word. Hydrosol, also known as hydrolat or floral water. It is the water part of the distillation of essential oils and is a powerful healing product in its own right, gentler and safer than essential oil, and more sustainable. It contains heavier, water-soluble molecules of the plant that did not evaporate, as well as tiny traces of essential oil, it also carries the energetic imprint of the whole plant. It is highly versatile and safe to use in skin care, as emotional support, as room fragrance, for animal care and more.
