What will you be financing?

This is Quinta Alma’s second GoParity campaign. In 2018 the promoter successfully raised 30.000€ through GoParity’s impact investment community, to create a structural lake and increase the project’s photovoltaic installed capacity. Check it out here – GoParity’s 9^th campaign ever. Since then, Quinta Alma has grown considerably in business and activity, developing remarkable work in ecological regeneration.

In the last two years, the promoter successfully organized several experimental courses on the topics of Permaculture and Off-Grid Living in Mediterranean Landscapes. Carrying this experience, the promoter will now expand its business scope beyond B&B Tourism to include Educational Tourism, anchored in research, development, and promotion of Agroecology and Self-Sustainability. This new business brand will be called Alma Lab School: an outdoor experimental laboratory with an ecological taipa building to give classes and workshops.

Quinta Alma Lab School will offer recurrent courses and training on Permaculture, Sustainable Building & Construction, and Off-Grid Living & Farming. Alma Lab School will also lecture weekend courses on specific agroecology courses, such as natural cosmetics, fermentation and distillation of food, and beekeeping.

The funds raised through this campaign will be used to:

Transform an old barn taipa building into a professional kitchen and a multi-purpose room.

Transform two canvas shelters into mountain wood cabins for winter courses (adding up to a total of four wood cabins).
Increase the installed energy production capacity by 50% in order to meet new energetic needs, related to the school and other events.
Increase water caption and retention capacity by 50%.
Create the structural business framework to hire a seasonal chef and a production assistant.

Economic development and ecological preservation shouldn’t have their back turned on each other, we should face the future with the opposite perspective if we want a future at all! Goparity allows that.
