Organic Farming
Organic farming is a production system that respects natural cycles, promotes biodiversity, and prohibits synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilisers. At Biobrassica, these practices are at the heart of everything we do.
The Principles of Organic Farming
No synthetic pesticides
We use only natural pest control methods: beneficial insects, crop rotation, and organic preparations.
Living soil
We feed the soil, not just the plant. Composting, green manure, and cover crops maintain the soil's microbial life.
No GMOs
We do not use genetically modified organisms at any stage of production.
Biodiversity
We promote species diversity in our gardens, creating resilient and balanced ecosystems.

Why organic?
Organic farming is not just a way of producing food — it is a life philosophy that respects the natural balance of ecosystems. By avoiding pesticides and chemical fertilisers, we protect biodiversity, water quality, and soil health.
For the consumer, organic food means more flavour, more nutrients, and the assurance that every bite is free from chemical residues. It is a conscious choice for the health of the family and the planet.
In the Minho region, the richness of the soil and the Atlantic climate create ideal conditions for organic farming, allowing us to grow an enormous variety of products throughout the year.
