Alfredo Cunhal Sendim was born in Porto and spent his childhood between Lisbon (the city), Montemor-o-Novo (the countryside) and Ferragudo (the sea). Studied veterinary and zoo technical. In 1990 he moved to the Monte of Herdade do Freixo do Meio, a territory where, step by step, he has been developing a structural project in the agricultural and social field.

Alfredo is from a new generation managing this Alentejo estate as an agricultural property that works for the common good by engaging the local community and being in harmony with nature. He chose Agro ecology as a management ethics, returning to the Medieval Montado Agro ecosystem, as a way of approaching the present and building the future.

We favour a mode of production and transformation that protects the environment, animal and plant well-being, and the diversity and quality of food.
