At G-Agri, every new season brings the promise of growth, not just in the crops we plant but in the bonds we build with our community. This year, we’re excited to share the story of our field preparation and the planting of oats, a process that highlights the value of teamwork, tradition, and dedication to sustainable farming.

A Helping Hand from Our Neighbour

One of the joys of farming in the Alentejo is the spirit of collaboration that thrives among local farmers. This season, we were fortunate to receive help from our incredible neighbour, who brought their expertise and tools to assist us in preparing the fields. It’s moments like these that remind us how much can be achieved when we work together, supporting each other toward shared success.

The First Step: Disk Plowing

The journey began with disk plowing the field, a crucial step in preparing the soil for planting. This process breaks up the topsoil, aerates it, and integrates organic matter, ensuring a fertile foundation for our crops. Watching the rich soil turn and mix with nature’s nutrients is a rewarding sight, one that holds the promise of a fruitful harvest.

Preparing for Oats

Oats are not just a nutritious crop but also an integral part of our circular farming practices. Once grown, they will serve multiple purposes on our farm, from providing feed for our animals to being sold as a high-quality product. By planting oats, we’re reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and ensuring that every part of the farming cycle supports the next.

Community: The Heart of Farming

This season, we’ve been reminded of how much farming is about relationships—both with the land and with the people who surround us. By working hand in hand with our neighbour, we’ve demonstrated the power of local support and how cooperation can lead to shared prosperity. Farming is hard work, but with a strong community, it becomes a shared journey filled with purpose.

Looking Ahead

As we finish preparing the fields and plant the first seeds of oats, we’re filled with hope for the months ahead. This is just the beginning of another cycle, one that will contribute to our mission of sustainable and eco-friendly farming. We’re grateful for the land we cultivate, the people we collaborate with, and the opportunity to provide for our animals, our community, and beyond.

Stay tuned for updates as the oats grow and the season unfolds. Thank you for being part of the G-Agri journey, where tradition meets innovation, and sustainability thrives through community.
