Eco community in Portugal is on the rise. Eco communities in Portugal are part of a quiet revolution that is blooming where the aim is to be present and to do things in a different way. Across valleys, forests, and sun-drenched plains, eco communities in Portugal offer an antidote to modern disconnection.

How to visit or dive in

4 000+ trees are already rooting the soil, with 10 000 more fruit and nut trees—almonds, olives, citrus, berries—on the blueprint. Contour swales capture rain, feeding our existing and planned lakes and keeping the land lush year‑round. Our strictly organic methods rely on compost and natural pest control, turning excess biomass into biochar that locks away carbon while boosting fertility—so every harvest nourishes both the ecovillage and the planet.

Carrots provide you with a seamless way to make your booking without the need for traditional currency - with Carrots you can cover any Accommodation Fee at TDF. It mimics our $TDF system, except that it does not contain governance influence.

Carrots can be harvested monthly with a pioneer subscription or earned by completing 👾 quests (coming soon).

Token sale Now OPEN!

Fox was invited to participate in $TDF's private sale. She can get her $TDF at lower prices, as the token price increases for every token sold and she's in first hundred purchasers.  She's not sure of how her life is going to roll in the next few years, but she decides to buy 30 $TDF - she can support the project construction for now, and if later she decides not to spend time there, she can sell her tokens after the go-live event.
