We would love to hear from you. Let’s see if there’s a match.
Little Regenerative Farms is an academy with a licence model.
We train landowners and existing farms to offer nature-based coaching, retreats, and garden therapy, and license them to operate as part of the Little Regenerative Farms network.
But underneath that, it’s something bigger. It’s the life so many people are quietly longing for. More time outside. Work that restores instead of drains. Mornings that start with your hands in the soil instead of a screen in your hand. A slower pace, and a deeper purpose.
It starts with the soil, and from there it ripples outward: you, the people you welcome, and the community around you.
Through the academy, you get everything you need to actually live this, not just dream about it. The training, the tools, and a real income stream from the land you already have.
And as part of the network, you’re never doing it alone. You join a community of farms walking the same path, shared learning, PR and exposure that would take years to build by yourself, and support that stays with you long after you launch.
This is the lifestyle shift people think about on quiet Sunday walks. We just make it real.
With love,
Thalita & Kim
Some of the most healing places are already out there. They are just waiting for the right person to open the gate.
The most powerful thing about Little Regenerative Farms is not what you learn. It is who you learn it with.
Amazing peers from around the world, all opening their land, sharing what works, lifting each other forward, and building an ecosystem that thrives together. You grow your farm. You grow each other.
You don’t need a large farm. You need a piece of land, a genuine love of nature, and a deep desire to help people grow while restoring the soil and ecosystem beneath their feet.
Maybe you have a piece of land with potential and a vision of turning it into a livelihood.
Maybe you already run a farm and sense it could offer people something more than produce and generate a meaningful income stream at the same time.
Maybe you are ready for a complete career change and you are looking for something that finally feels aligned with who you are and what you believe in.
This is not about adding another business to your life. It is about finally building the one that feels right.

When life feels overwhelming — burnout, loss, big change — it’s time to pause.
The Reset at Little Portuguese Farm is a private, two-day coaching experience in nature. Five 1:1 sessions with Thalita, a certified nature-based coach, plus unhurried time to rest, do garden therapy, and reconnect with yourself.
Leave with clarity, balance, and a clear path forward.
Do you have a farm, quinta, or piece of land — and a sense that it could offer people more than just produce?
We’re building a European network of regenerative farms that restore both land and people. Find out about our academy and licensing model.
Regenerative leadership is a new paradigm of leading — one rooted in nature rather than pressure. Instead of driving people and teams toward burnout and depletion, it draws on the principles of natural, living systems: presence, care, balance, and renewal. A regenerative leader makes decisions from clarity and connection rather than urgency and fear, and leads in a way that restores people and organisations rather than exhausting them. In the Academy, you’ll learn how to guide others towards this shift.
Nature prescriptions are a structured way of using time in nature as a form of care, prescribed much like you’d prescribe a treatment or therapy, but rooted in the proven, science-backed benefits of nature connection. In practice, this can mean adults and children being referred by a GP or pediatrician for conditions like ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, or sleep disorders, or people suffering from stress, anxiety and depression being guided toward regular nature-based practices to support their mental and physical wellbeing. In the Academy, you’ll learn how to design and offer nature prescriptions as part of your own practice, so nature becomes a practical, prescribable tool, not just a nice place to visit.
No — you don’t need to already own land to join the Academy. There’s more than one path in:
Whichever situation you’re in, a chemistry call is a great next step to talk through what’s realistic for you and how the License can fit your specific path.
Your annual license fee (€1,500) keeps your business running smoothly year after year. It covers:
Yes that is possible, but only one per province.
Regenerative goes a step further than sustainable. Sustainable aims to do no more harm. Regenerative aims to leave things better than you found them: healthier soil, more biodiversity, stronger community, a piece of land that keeps giving instead of slowly running down. It’s less a farming technique and more a way of relating to land, to people, and to yourself. In the Academy, regenerative isn’t just about what grows in the ground. It’s the same principle applied to how you build your business, lead your sessions, and show up for the people who come to your farm.
There’s no minimum acreage and no perfect checklist. What matters most is that the land has some outdoor space where people can gather, walk, sit with a cup of tea, and get their hands in the soil. A garden, a smallholding, a few hectares, a corner of a bigger farm, all of these can work if you have the ambition to work on the land regeneratively (with permaculture principles). What we look at on a chemistry call is less the size of your land and more its potential: can people arrive here and feel something shift? Can you grow a little food, host a small group, create a bit of quiet? That’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Terra Alta is a certified permaculture school based in Portugal, hosting live PDCs (Permaculture Design Certificates). We’ve partnered with them for the growing and land-based side of the curriculum, the piece the Academy itself doesn’t teach. As part of the program, you get access to their materials and sessions, with the option to go further through a discounted PDC track if you want to go deeper.
Almost entirely online, with one in-person gathering at the end. Through the year you’ll join live online group calls, work through material at your own pace in our online academy portal, and stay connected with your cohort throughout. We close the year together in person, likely in the Netherlands, to celebrate what you’ve built and meet the people you’ve been learning alongside all year.
The live group call is every month on a Tuesday from 7.30 to 9pm CET. Alongside that, there are intervision groups with your peers to work through real situations together, and supervision touchpoints to help you apply what you’re learning. It’s designed to fit around a life and a business you’re already running, not take it over.
Most of the material, the modules themselves, the templates, the recordings, is yours to move through at your own pace in our online community portal. Plan for a couple of hours a week if you want to stay comfortably on track. The weekly live call and intervision groups are where you bring questions, get feedback, and learn from what others in your cohort are building. Both matter: the self-paced side gives you the depth, the group side keeps you accountable and connected.
Life happens. Calls are recorded and added to the community portal, so you won’t lose the content. That said, the live calls are also where a lot of the real value sits, the questions, the peer input, the things that don’t always come through in a recording, so we’d always encourage joining live when you can.
We’re keeping this first year small on purpose, a maximum of ten people. This isn’t a course with a thousand people in a group chat, it’s a network of people who will actually know each other and the farms by the end of the year.

You keep going, with less hand-holding and more independence. A yearly license fee of €1,500 keeps your brand, website, materials, and network access running. You stay part of the community: check-ins, updated resources, intervision groups, and the wider network of farms as it grows.
